Disney BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

It has been a whirlwind week for Disney with major headlines sparking chatter both online and in the parks. The viral story on everyone’s lips is Walt Disney World attendance in 2025 reaching its lowest point in years. While the headlines make this sound catastrophic, industry insiders like MickeyBlog clarify the drop is part of Disney’s usual September-October lull as families settle into the school year and football dominates weekends. The story has gained momentum with various media outlets running with the all-time low angle, igniting speculation and some payback from corners of the media frustrated with Disney over recent moves.

On a business note, Disney just announced the timeline for Hulu’s dissolution, a long-expected shift as the brand transitions more fully under the Disney+ umbrella. This marks the next step in Disney’s ongoing streaming strategy, reflecting a broader consolidation in the media landscape.

Theme park fans are still buzzing from last month’s Destination D23 event – or more accurately, its lack of big announcements. Citing MickeyBlog again, the event skipped the traditional theme park panel, leaving hardcore fans sorely disappointed and deeply vocal online. There’s still plenty happening inside the parks, though. Significant construction is rattling nearly every major park, with only EPCOT and Disneyland Park not currently under the knife. Recent closures include Magic Kingdom’s Tom Sawyer Island and Liberty Square Riverboat, making way for the Cars-themed Piston Peak expansion, which some fans greet with skepticism as Disney overhauls familiar icons in favor of new IP.

Hollywood Studios’ Animation Courtyard is also shuttered, with the Star Wars Launch Bay now closed and Imagineers poised to reinvent the space. Over at Animal Kingdom, DinoLand U.S.A. is making way for new experiences, and the beloved Muppets Courtyard will soon become Monstropolis, bringing in Monsters Inc. branding and a promised new roller coaster.

October is always a festive month and Disney is leaning into Halloween hard. Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party is sold out, pumpkins dominate Main Street, and the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival is drawing crowds with musical acts like New Found Glory, The Wanted 2.0, Hanson, and more. Spaceship Earth is reopening October 25 after a two-month refurbishment, providing some good news among all the construction disruption.

Streaming-wise, Disney+ is packed for October with new content: SuperKitties season three, Marvel’s Spidey Halloween special, and Star Wars Visions volume three among the highlights, plus fresh Hulu originals in the mix per Disney Food Blog.

Social media is a mixed bag, with #DisneyAttendance trending on X and Instagram, fired up by contrasting images of empty walkways and diehard fans lamenting their favorite rides’ closures. Meanwhile, Disneyland is bracing for future changes with confirmed reports that the Monsters Inc. dark ride will make way for a new Avatar land in 2026—a headline already generating debate.

To sum it up, Disney’s current narrative is one of rapid transformation and some public uncertainty. Attendance is down for now, expansion is up, and the company seems determined to remake its parks, streaming, and image all at once, even if it means fans will have to say goodbye to a few old friends along the way.
