A proposito di questo titolo

 Dis & Hers is a Disney podcast where real conversations from the Disney community meet honest opinions. This show is not about ride strategies, Lightning Lane tutorials, or park basics. Instead, Eric and Lauren focus on the culture around Disney - what fans are debating online, what’s trending on Reddit, TikTok, and X, and the questions people keep asking but rarely get straight answers to. Using real-time online conversations, search behavior, and firsthand experience, Dis & Hers explores the bigger picture behind Disney decisions and fan reactions - sometimes agreeing, sometimes disagreeing, and always keeping it honest.Copyright Jim Hill Media | Strong Minded Agency 2026 Scienze sociali Scrittura e commenti di viaggio

  • Eisner Unfiltered, Disney’s AI Investment, Savannah Bananas & $449 Lightning Lanes (Ep. 5)

    Eisner Unfiltered, Disney’s AI Investment, Savannah Bananas & $449 Lightning Lanes (Ep. 5)
    Feb 19 2026
    Michael Eisner returns to the Disney spotlight in a surprisingly candid, long-form interview that has fans buzzing. Lauren and Eric break down Eisner’s comments on park pricing, Bob Chapek, AI, and the future of Disney leadership - plus what it means in today’s theme park landscape. Then, the Savannah Bananas bring Banana Ball back to Disneyland, and Lightning Lane Premier Pass sells out for seven straight days at Walt Disney World. Is Disney’s most expensive skip-the-line option here to stay? HIGHLIGHTS Michael Eisner sits down with Graham Bensinger for his most in-depth Disney interview in years, sharing candid thoughts on leadership transitions, pricing, and the modern company. Eisner describes the Chapek era as “a marriage made in hell” while praising Bob Iger’s succession and leadership instincts. Disney confirms a $1 billion AI investment and partnership with OpenAI, with plans to explore internal tools, advertising analytics, and controlled character licensing for AI-generated content. Lightning Lane Premier Pass sells out for seven consecutive days at Magic Kingdom during Presidents Day week, with prices reaching up to $449 per person plus tax. The Savannah Bananas return to Disneyland on March 26, bringing Banana Ball energy, cavalcades, and castle-front performances to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. The Bananas’ fan-first model, viral growth, and MLB stadium sellouts make them a natural marketing match for Disney’s experiential brand strategy. For this episode’s full show notes, ⁠click here⁠.

    Feb 12 2026
    Disney is having a moment and this episode covers three very different reasons why. Eric and Lauren dig into the surprise ratings success of The Muppets’ 50th anniversary special, break down why Marvel’s Wonder Man quietly became a sleeper hit on Disney Plus, and wrap things up with a look at Disney California Adventure’s 25th anniversary and the popcorn bucket chaos that came with it. From broadcast TV demos to streaming strategy and park optics, this one moves fast and covers a lot of ground. HIGHLIGHTS The Muppets’ 50th anniversary special delivers strong ABC ratings and wins the key 18–49 demo Why those numbers matter to advertisers and what they could mean for a potential weekly revival The Sabrina Carpenter bump and how celebrity guests factor into Muppets nostalgia and reach Bob Iger and Josh D’Amaro spotted at Disneyland and the symbolism of that park appearance Marvel’s Wonder Man emerges as a sleeper hit with critics and viewers despite minimal marketing Why a lower-budget, character-driven Marvel series may point to a smarter streaming future Disney California Adventure turns 25 and sparks long lines thanks to a high-tech Ferris wheel popcorn bucket The ongoing reseller debate and whether Disney should crack down harder on merch flippers For this episode’s full show notes, click here.
