RUMOR: Country Bear Jamboree will merge with Stitch’s Great Escape

Details are scarce, but we are happy to make stuff up. WALT DISNEY WORLD, FL -- Rumors have been swirling around the Magic Kingdom of a possible permanent end to the Country Bear Jamboree. Uncle Walt's Insider of course predicted this after several guests were mauled by the Country Bears last year. But now we can report that the Bears are not going away forever, but will soon join another closed attraction, Stitch's Great Escape. "Country Bear Escape featuring Stitch" "This is a perfect ...

We took the “Churro Challenge” – only churros for a month

And what did we learn? Not much, really. UNCLE WALT'S INSIDER H.Q., SVALBARD -- The challenge: Eat nothing but tasty, tasty churros, morning, noon & night, for thirty days. Participants: Ub, X, & Uncle Walt. (Marty eats nothing but churros anyway, so technically this wouldn't have been a challenge for him). Conclusion: Churros are extremely tasty. Didn't you know that already? Yes. So is the "Churro Challenge" really a thing? Probably not. We just wanted an excuse to eat churros all the time. Is there anything Uncle ...

What Would Walt Do? You ask, Uncle Walt answers!

Hey Walt, now that Galaxy’s Edge is open, what land should Disney build next?

Yippie-ki-yay, M...ickey. Today's question: "Hey, Walt, now that Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is almost open, what land should Disney build next?" Submitted by Link Artletter, Los Angeles, CA Hi Link, Thanks for asking. I've been walking the empty sidewalks of Main Street all week pondering this same question. I've popped in and out of Imagineering asking this same question. When Iger and I were discussing his move to UWI after retirement, I asked this same question. Truth be told, there is only one idea that Disney has, ...

Bowing to demand, Disney now sells Churro Light Sabers

We get results. DISNEYLAND, CA -- The Disney Company has seen the light and will now sell Churro Light Sabers! Just two days after Uncle Walt's Insider broke the news that the "build your own light saber" experience at the new Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge did not include that option, the company announced the change. You're welcome. Nobel? Pulitzer? We should win all the awards for this, right? Let us know in the comments below! Need more Uncle Walt's in your life? Be sure to ...

First reaction to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge: “Meh”

Our panel was not that impressed. DISNEYLAND, CA -- The highly-anticipated Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge has been open for a day, and the first impressions are rolling in: Yawn. That's right, apparently it's just okay, but nothing too exciting. Uncle Walt's Insider assembled a six-person panel of first-day Galaxy's Edge visitors to give us their reactions (mainly because someone here slept late and didn't get us first-day reservations like he promised, Ub.) We'll use their real names because thinking up fake ones is work. Panel discussion Uncle ...
