From time to time, we see Disney rides get updates!

Disneyland

Many times, rides will close for refurbishment and just get general touch-ups and technology updates, but sometimes Disney takes that chance to change some scenes. (We saw this happen with rides like Jungle Cruise and Pirates of the Caribbean in the past!) Recently, Disney World made some interesting modifications to its version of Peter Pan’s Flight, and now it looks like that change will come to the West Coast as well.

Not too long ago, Peter Pan’s Flight reopened in Magic Kingdom after a brief closure. During that closure, Disney took the time to update the Tiger Lily scene on the ride to make it more up-to-date with modern depictions.

Now, the Orange County Register reports that a similar update is coming to Peter Pan’s Flight in Disneyland Park. The timeline of this change has not yet been confirmed, but the update is an effort to “remove insensitive racial stereotypes and caricatures of indigenous people.”

The new scene in Disney World

We’ll be on the lookout for any information about a closing timeline for the ride in Disneyland, and any information about what the changes will be. Orange County Register notes that the new scene on the West Coast will be similar, but Disney hasn’t yet stated if it will be the exact same as the new Magic Kingdom one.

As we mentioned above, this won’t be the first time Disney has updated rides to fit more with the times. Insensitive scenes were removed from Pirates of the Caribbean on both coasts several years ago, and after the pandemic, Disney took the time to change some depictions in Jungle Cruise as well.

We’ll be on the lookout for any more updates, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest! We’ve got you covered!

The Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger admitted that he’s “obsessed with” finding his successor while on the “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa” podcast.

Bob Iger Obsessed With Finding His Replacement

Iger recently joined Ripa on her podcast to discuss his wife Willow Bay’s reaction to his run for president, hosting Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and earning knighthood before the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. But when asked about finding his replacement as the CEO of The Walt Disney Company, Iger admitted that it’s on his mind constantly.

Well, I think it would be safe to assume that I think about this all the time. I could say that I’m obsessed with it would be probably an understatement and actually, the board and I established when I returned that that would be among our biggest, if not our biggest priority.

It’s actually something that I’m obviously very focused on, not just because of the past, but because I’d like to retire again and I’d like to leave the company in great hands, and that is my intention and I’m now confident that not only will we do that, but we’ll do so on a timely basis that works for the company and hopefully works for me as well, but yes. It’s a huge priority.

Bob Iger

When asked if his sons were in the mix for the role, Iger said that while his sons are interested in parts of the business, they will not be considered.

Iger served as the CEO and Chairman of The Walt Disney Company from 2005 to 2020. He announced his retirement as CEO in February 2020 and named Bob Chapek as his successor. Iger continued to serve as Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board until his retirement in 2021.

Chapek was ultimately fired in November 2022, and Iger returned to his role, replacing his “biggest regret.” Iger’s original contract was meant to last through December 31, 2024, but it was then extended through December 2026. While no official candidates have been announced, the four division heads, Dana Walden, Alan Bergman, Jimmy Pitaro, and Josh D’Amaro, are thought to be the frontrunners for the role. It’s possible the successor could get announced this year.

Users digging through the data of the Disneyland App have discovered signs of a possible “Lightning Lane Premier Pass” coming soon.

Lightning Lane Premier Pass

Reddit user themeparkiq shared details in r/Disneyland. The above image and text can be found in the latest Disneyland App update.

It’s possible the Premier Pass option will allow guests to purchase and make Lightning Lane selections in advance. Walt Disney World introduced that option in July when they rebranded Genie+ to Lightning Lane Multi Pass. Disneyland Resort also rebranded its line-skip offerings but did not introduce advance purchases/selections.

The Premier Pass could also be a different kind of package. Disney hasn’t announced any details and plans could always change.

Hong Kong Disneyland, Shanghai Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris all have their own line-skip packages, while Tokyo Disney Resort lets guests purchase individual line-skip options.
