Wdw Opinion - Disney World Opinions Shared Weekly

What Disney's Movie Schedule Means for the Parks - WDW Opinion Ep. 42 Sometimes as Hank and I geek out about the latest in plastic bracelet technology or as we salivate over theme park operating hours it’s easy for us to forget that Disney really is a film company. That’s right for every robot bear they’ve created they have a dozen movies to show for it. And while this is a theme park-centric podcast it’s important to go back to Disney’s roots from time to time. After all, film really is the reason they are so successful today. Their film success is also why their theme parks are so successful too.

Their theme parks are a gateway for you to enter into your favorite films. Just a few days ago Disney released their upcoming film slate for the next eight or so years. There’s still plenty of gaps, unknowns and yet to be announced projects but one thing is certain.
