There’s nothing better than curling up on your couch, hot cocoa and cookies within reach, watching your favorite Christmas movies and holiday specials! Our go-to is usually something on Disney+, but as the season of holiday specials arrives, there are a few Disney specials you’re going to want to tune into on ABC.
If you’ve been watching Dancing With the Stars this season and then logged online afterward, you’ve probably noticed there’s some drama swirling around.

Our team has been REALLY into the popular reality show this season, going as far as having a DFB Dancing With the Stars bracket tournament. And since we’re so invested, our algorithms have been showing us ALL the drama. So here’s a roundup of some of the big things that have been going on!
Okay, this one is for you football fans or Star Wars fans…or both. Have you ever wondered what NFL games might look like if they were set in the Star Wars universe? Well, maybe not, but Disney has certainly been thinking about it!

ESPN, Lucasfilm, Disney, and the NFL have come together to create technology that will turn the 2027 Super Bowl game into a game with Star Wars characters for the first time ever. No, really!
If you’re on the internet these days, you might be aware of a little thing called Dancing with the Stars! The dancing reality competition (which airs on Disney+, Hulu, and ABC) has become a cultural phenomenon.

Over the last several years, the show has regained popularity and goes viral every single week thanks to the stars, the amazing dances, and the controversial judges’ critiques. As massive fans of the show, every week is just a countdown to Tuesday for the next episode. It’s even started to take over our daily lives, and we’re seeing it EVERYWHERE! Even Disney World. That’s right, we think we just found Dancing with the Stars merchandise at Disney.
Got plans on November 2nd? If not, you do now! And if you already have plans, CANCEL THEM!

To be honest, my evening plans often include cozying up on the couch to stream something on Disney+, whether it’s a show I’m binge-watching or a favorite movie I’m rewatching, but this fall, I’ve got important plans every Tuesday night. That’s right, folks, Dancing with the Stars is back, and coming soon is DISNEY NIGHT.
Nobody tell my boss I said this, but it’s kinda hard to focus on my job on Tuesdays. 🙊 Any guesses why? WELL, that’s because one of my favorite shows is on TV!

And yes, I know I write about Disney and Universal and cruise lines and air travel and movies and even sometimes McDonald’s for a living. It’s so much fun, and it’s a very interesting job…but the one thing on my mind on Tuesdays right now is Dancing with the Stars, and it’s DEFEATING MY COWORKERS.
We’ve been following the recent news regarding Disney filing a First Amendment lawsuit against the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) after unusual pressure from the federal government forced the company’s stations to submit licenses for early renewal proceedings.

Recently, the FCC asked a federal judge to toss out Disney’s lawsuit, and while U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan in Washington has a hearing on the lawsuit scheduled for October 6th, we have another update on the situation — Disney has now said that the threats the President has made against reporters and broadcast networks are grounds for a United States judge to block the FCC from reviewing Disney’s eight ABC station licenses early.
Dining in Disney World comes with tons of options, but Disney’s Hollywood Studios likely isn’t the first place you think of when you’re looking for a great place to eat. But where’s the best place to eat if you’re there for the day and need a quick meal?

We recently stopped by ABC Commissary to see if it’s the best quick service spot in the park. Does it beat out the other spots and make it worthwhile to stop by? We’re bringing you our full review!
Earlier this year, Disney announced big plans regarding Super Bowl LXI, and now another exciting announcement has just dropped!

To celebrate Super Bowl LXI airing on ABC and ESPN, Disney is having a massive Super Bowl sweepstakes that will involve a fan winning tickets to Super Bowl LXI and a three-night stay at the Disneyland Resort. Let’s take a look at the details!
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has requested that a federal judge “toss out” Disney’s lawsuit regarding the ABC TV station license. The request came on Thursday, September 3rd, according to NBC.

The lawsuit is seeking to block the agency’s early review of ABC licenses. The FCC has said that if Disney wins this suit, it would “prevent the commission from analyzing evidence in its ongoing investigation.” They also wrote it would impact the agency’s “efforts to investigate and resolve serious allegations that Disney has engaged in unlawful discrimination.”
