Patreon Exclusive First Look: Major Disney World Scoop CONFIRMED

Last week, we covered the story that Brayden of Mickey Views was reporting about changes coming to Magic Kingdom. According to Brayden, Disney is looking to destroy Tom Sawyer Island, Rivers of America, transform Frontierland into a bayou, and plop a southwestern theme behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. But that's not all!

Brayden also said that Disney was interested in building Radiator Springs Racers north of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. That's a very expensive attraction (one of...

Happy Spring!

Closing in on The Bot Army Manipulating Social Media for Entertainment (and Beyond)

Good morning, everyone! What a great time we have had this week! Hope it has been as nice for all of you.

Today, we're talking about the continued investigation into the bot army being used to manipulate social media, online conversations, visibility, and more... for entertainment companies, but probably far beyond.

Sometimes the best way to understand the world around you is to study entertainment and entertainment companies. As opposed to political operations and government effo...

Impromptu Live Chat

Hey, folks -- we're doing an impromptu live chat tonight with WDW Pro! All paid members can ask questions to Pro for the next two hours and receive a response! Anything goes (within reason).

Disney Fires Back at Gina Carano Using Harvey Weinstein's Former Lawyer

It's a crazy, mixed-up world... but not even I thought Disney would pull this one!

It's one thing to go after Scarlett Johansson with Weinstein's former pit bull attorney. You know, the guy who makes the girls shut up? But when Gina Carano has been put thru the ringer already by Weinstein's former personal assistant -- who, oh by the way is also the showrunner for The Acolyte -- you gotta start wondering about all these connections leading back to one place.

So, Bob... so, Kathy.....

Disney's Alleged Plans to Destroy Frontierland Come with Significant Cost

I have been saddened to hear that Disney World is looking to destroy Frontierland over the next decade. Mickey Views has the exclusive scoop, but it's not the first time I've heard about it. Brayden has done a great job of getting the details -- and they're worse than I was expected (and much more expensive) -- but we've known for a while now that Disney hates "cowboys and Indians".

The New That Park Place Is LIVE!

The new website is up and running with full functionality. It's a huge accomplishment for That Park Place under John Trent. The website achieved half-a-million readers in the month of March.

But that's not all...

Later this week, you'll notice this Patreon will begin to shift ever so slightly away from just being WDW Pro to being a place for more of That Park Place too. One of those changes is that we'll be giving paid members of the Patreon access to a VIP lounge on the TPP forum...

New WDI Media Position Starts Working "Magic" with Influencers?

Not so long ago we told you that Walt Disney Imagineering was busying itself hiring a PR person to fix the broken image of Disney Parks' new attractions. Privately -- and somewhat publicly -- we've also wondered if said PR person would go negative on critics. So far that hasn't been the case. But they are definitely gearing up to make as much positivity surrounding Tiana's Bayou Adventure as they possibly can in the next two months.

Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge Disney for doing ...

Disney's Stock Continues Its Drop

In the aftermath of the first proxy war when Nelson Peltz voluntarily exited, Disney stock plunged from $123 per share to $79. It was not a long span of time. Now, we're beginning to see a similar pattern. At the opening bell of the first full week for Disney after its shareholder meeting, the stock is again dropping.

Perhaps one of the concerns shareholders are now going to have to contend with is that an the spaghetti thrown on the wall to stop Peltz must be cleaned up. Getting Disney...

Thank You -- Jordan Peterson Answered a Question from WDW Pro in Nashville

Success. They read my question and it took so long to answer he only did one other about marital concerns. His reply to mine was the closest I've ever heard him go to just declaring he's a Christian. He said the world without God isn't worth living, that spirituality gives meaning to an otherwise empty existence, and declared that he believes the Christian axiom that each individual is a reflection of the highest Being of the cosmos.

It'll be up to Patreon members whether you want me to...

Disney's Death Spiral Is Linked to Bluey and They Don't Want to Tell You!

Who would have ever thought a little cartoon puppy would be destroying Disney+? It turns out according to a report from Bloomberg that Bluey is garnering 29% of ALL viewership on Disney+. Huge thanks to @NowItsKnown on X for sharing this with me.

https://t.co/I0mGVUl3Il

You might ask how a show that is pulling 29% of a streaming platform's total viewership can possibly be a bad thing. You might ask how something so su...

Primitive Camping in Northern Appalachia

Hello, everybody! I just wanted to stop by and share some photos from my latest excursion I'm doing right now. Without giving away my location is suffice to say I'm in Northern Appalachia doing some primitive camping. Even when we are out in the wilderness, we can still connect with viewers and readers - and even upload videos to YouTube using satellite connections.

In the comments below, let me know some of your favorite places to get away! I would love to explore them... as well as sh...

Peltz Has Responded -- Says "I'll See You Again"

Here's early access to an incredible opinion piece coming out later today on That Park Place:

Measurement, Merit, and Mendacity

How we keep track of things reveals our values…or lack of them.

By Lew Wasserman’s Ghost

I write this in the aftermath of the Great Robotic Shareholder Show of the Bob Iger (formerly Walt Disney) Company, and I know we’re all feeling various degrees of anger, disappointment, and, to be honest, disgust. I’m not talking about the ...

Walt's Predictions of Entertainment

I thought this was a great day to remember back to Walt himself. Shout out to Ed McCray for unearthing this gem from his archived images.

Disney Shareholder Meeting Live Chat Is Now Available for Paid Members

If you're a paid member of the Patreon, hop in the live chat now until 8PM ET to discuss the Disney Shareholder Meeting fallout! I'll be responding periodically throughout the afternoon / evening. If you're not a paid member and would like to join in, there's no better day to subscribe!

Bob Iger May Have Sneakily Changed Disney+ Investor Guidance

One of the big surprises of the day was when Bob Iger mentioned that all of Disney streaming combined was headed towards profitability by the fourth quarter of 2023. That's a huge change from the guidance we've had ever since Disney+ was first created. The goal has always been for Disney+ to be profitable all on its own by fiscal year 2024. Now, Iger is suggesting all of streaming combined will be the way they do that.

Only... that's total nonsense.

If Disney fin...

Major Financial Figure Calls for SEC Investigation of Disney for Alleged Illegal Leaks

Things are starting to line up in a way that makes Disney look very, very badly. Not only do they look badly, but the very proxy vote we are receiving in a few hours will now be tainted. As a result, major financial figures are beginning to call for SEC investigations into Disney and Bob Iger. It's going to get ugly, folks. Not only is it going to get ugly, but it may result in a very harsh future for the company -- not in the next year due to political leanings of the SEC under the current a...

Read the Unsent Draft Ron Coleman Prepared for BGG

Good morning, folks!

Today I'd like to share with you the other draft response that Ron Coleman put on the table last night for viewers to vote on. Of course, there were two real responses that Ron allowed YouTube viewers to pick from to be the official response to BGG from That Park Place. I don't think I've ever seen an attorney give YouTube viewers the chance to pick a response, but that's what you get from an attorney who has won at the Supreme Court level and also has 250K 𝕏 fol...

Disney Comes After Your Kids with New Little Mermaid Ursula

Well... we're after 2PM ET and I can't wait any longer to do the Patreon post for the day (plus Patreon has been experiencing technical difficulties). I would love to have the article that we were told was coming any minute that would potentially alter the Disney shareholder vote... but it's not here yet and the clock is ticking. The longer it's not available to the public, the less likely it is to really impact how institutions vote. Today is when almost all remaining votes will come in.

Big News Coming Today

Good morning, friends. Just want to let you know that we expect major news to break in the next few hours and I'm waiting on it before doing a Patreon exclusive. Stay tuned here as we await what could absolutely shake up the Disney vote in the last few hours!

Disney Declared to Have Foundational Issues Ahead of Vote

Things keep getting zanier as we race towards the finish line for the Disney Board Vote and the Shareholders Meeting. While I'm not here to give anyone financial advice, I felt it important to pass on the latest KO punch Disney has received from Seeking Alpha. It seems like there's an absolute avalanche of institutional narrative switch going on right now. It's amazing to see.

According to Seeking Alpha, they have found the following summarized issues that draw questions to Bob Iger's l...

Peltz Takes the Lead

There's so much to talk about over the next days. From our response to Black Girl Gamers and how that will arrive (very publicly) to the Disney Board Vote, things are spicy on every front. And then there's the video I'm releasing this morning about a Disney Parks Garage Sale that you just can't believe. But perhaps the biggest news of all is about to hit today -- unless of course you consider us bopping the Gamergate 2.0 mess over the head with a heavy dosage of mature freedom of speech medic...
