Is Disney Losing Its Magic?

Monday Jun 24, 2024
Hello and welcome to the Enchanted Ears Podcast, where we discuss anything and everything Disney.
This week Disney Cruise Line released some special voyages for late 2025, early 2026. Plus Disneyland made an announcement about the return of a fan favorite Holiday overlay.
It seems like nowadays that a lot of people are talking about how Disney parks have lost some of their magic.
But is that really true?
We’re on the case to get to the bottom of this question.
Sure, there is a lot of evidence that the magic is gone - from the loss of free FastPass and Magical Express to the increased complexity of navigating a Disney Vacation - but all of those criticisms center around one place, Walt Disney World.
So we’re here to tell you that the Disney magic is alive and well, you’re just looking in the wrong place.
Submit a question/topic for us to discuss on a future episode.
