Authorities investigated an alleged domestic violence incident on the Walt Disney World Skyliner gondolas involving a woman who was four months pregnant, according to law enforcement and court records. A former Disneyland Cast Member who performed as part of the Dapper Dans is suing Disney, claiming he was forced out of work due to his age and an unproven comment about another employee’s sexual orientation. After Muppets Courtyard in Disney’s Hollywood Studios closed to become Monstropolis, its old entrance columns were demolished. New entrance columns were constructed — then knocked down a few weeks later. Another group of new columns is now being installed.

All this and more in today’s daily recap for Thursday, August 6, 2026.
