Disney Responds to WSJ Article - Says Trips Are Affordable
- Disney responded to a recent Wall St Journal article that featured data from Len Testa about the affordability (or lack there of) of a Walt Disney World Trip. Disney response was that a family of 4 can do a trip for cheaper than Len outlined, and for only $3,026 (before food and transportation)

Villains Show Runtime Fake Out
- As part of their Villainstine's Day celebration, Disney released the "splash page" on their website and app for the upcoming Villains Show at DHS - with an indicated run time of 40 mins!

- Disney then took that information down and sources confirmed it was not correct. But would a 40 min run time even be a good thing?

- Also, prompted by an article by The DIS - do people unfairly expect Disney to be affordable when other costs are going up so much?
