Disney has revealed the concrete replacement for the problematic pavement lights in World Celebration Gardens at EPCOT. Walt Disney World released a statement regarding the viral video of a guest diving into the water of Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros at EPCOT. Former Disney CEO Bob Chapek says Disneyland Magic Key holders visited too frequently, paid too little per visit, and ultimately stood in the way of the company maximizing profits.

All this and more in today’s daily recap for Thursday, October 8, 2026.
