Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek stands by his strategy of raising prices at Disney Parks, rejects any personal responsibility, and blames Bob Iger, who both preceded and succeeded him as Disney CEO, in his new memoir. Disney and Columbia have a new Mickey’s Outdoor Club fall collection releasing later this month that features products for the whole family. Brightline is reportedly preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy as soon as this week — all this and more in today’s daily recap for Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
