Cheddar from the Big Cheese:Mike: We would like to take a moment in memory of Jeff Galloway, who passed away at the age of 80. He was a running icon, helping countless people achieve their goal of participating in RunDisney events. From his team: “Sadly, we lost someone truly irreplaceable today. We are heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Jeff — a husband, a father, a grandfather, a coach, a mentor, and a believer in every single one of you.” May he rest in peace. Our prayers are for his family, friends, and everyone touched by his work.Brenda: Say hello to the Godfather of the Disney Adventure: Robert Downey, Jr. aka Tony Stark, aka Ironman!!!Sophie:We’ve touched on this before, but new details for The Magic of Disney Animation have been released! It will open in Summer 2026 at Hollywood Studios, and it will be part of The Walt Disney Studios district! It will have a look and feel that will remind people of the legendary Burbank lot, and you’ll be able to step behind the scenes and into the stories of some of the world’s most iconic films.
