Okay, we’ve seen…some things in Disney World, and no, we’re not even talking about the time Cinderella Castle got turned into a bright pink birthday cake or the time Stitch TP’d the castle.

We’re not even talking about the fun things we see Cast Members do from time to time, like the Clap Box (which is good for your ego if you need a boost). No, today, we saw what could be some of the widest SPORTS in Disneyland, and of course, we have to tell you all about it.

As streaming providers struggle to figure out how to add new customers and retain the ones they’ve already had, we’ve seen numerous streaming bundle deals and providers come together, including several already involving Disney. Now another of these unions has a name.

A National Championship-Winning coach is upholding one of Disney World’s oldest traditions!
The parade!
The tradition of championship-winning players and coaches being celebrated at one of Disney’s U.S. theme parks dates back to 1987, when Super Bowl MVP Phil Simms declared, “I’m going to Disney World!” after his New York Giants defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI. Over the years, countless major sports figures have taken part in the tradition following victories, and now a 2024 NCAA National Championship coach is set to join them.
Since being fired from The Walt Disney Company in late 2022, former CEO Bob Chapek has largely kept quiet.

Aside from announcing his new position on Masimo’s Board of Directors, Chapek has been silent — especially when it comes to Disney. But, that has officially changed. In a new interview, Chapek revealed his thoughts on the future of Disney-owned ESPN, and it sounds like he doesn’t fully agree with Iger’s choices.

A huge announcement came from the Walt Disney Company on February 6th indicating that we’ll soon get to watch the majority of sports entertainment from one streaming app!

For a while now, we’ve been waiting for Disney to make a big business move.

Disney’s had some problems with streaming over the past few years, but particularly with ESPN+. The service hasn’t been as successful as it could be, even though there’s a high demand for sports entertainment.
