Meet the 12 new Disney Legends to be honored at D23 Expo

One truly deserving new Disney Legend! And also eleven people. ANAHEIM, CA -- Disney has announced the latest round of Disney Legends to be honored at the 2019 D23 Expo, held annually in Anaheim, CA. The tribute dates back to 1987, when Fred MacMurray (star of The Absent-Minded Shaggy Flubber Millionaire) was honored as the very first Disney Legend. The recipients of this award are Disney's brightest stars and notable luminaries who continue Walt Disney's legacy and contribute to the ongoing success ...

Tron Rollercoaster delayed due to ransomware attack

Look likes someone's gonna have to be digitized to regain control. WALT DISNEY WORLD, FL -- Disney's 1982 computer-trip adventure Tron and its sequels (Tron: Reloaded, Tron: Revolutions, and The ReTron of the Jedi) are the inspiration for a new roller coaster currently under construction in the Magic Kingdom. The new coaster will  be entirely computer-generated, like every other new Disney attraction from here on. Unfortunately, the designers' quest for 80's-era computer realism also came with 80's-era lax cyber-security. And now the Tron ...

Grandma discovered at Lost & Found after five days

A "simple misunderstanding" is prolonged when the family keeps getting free stuff.

Bolivar, 63, was located at the park's Lost & Found in City Hall -- after five days apart from her family. "It started so simply," says Bolivar's son-in-law Oscar Peña Gimenez, 34, who was visiting Walt Disney ...

Disney announces new churros, we think

The churro changes will be amazing! Maybe! We didn't catch every detail. UNCLE WALT'S H.Q., SVALBARD -- Our regular readers [up to five now!] know that we here at Uncle Walt's Insider love churros. That delicious cinnamon sugar treat is so perfect that even Philistines whose warped taste buds prefer cream cheese pretzels admit that churros "aren't half bad." Apparently, though, "perfect" can be improved on? Following yesterday's Churro de Mayo celebration, we received a call that shocked us to our core. Disney has found ...

Marty is at Disneyland this week!

Come and meet your favorite Uncle Walt's Insider author! Unless your favorite isn't Marty. DISNEYLAND, CA -- Uncle Walt's Insider authors tend to be shy and secretive, only appearing in public in disguise. In fact, we rarely leave our Svalbard headquarters unless we're fairly certain we're not currently wanted, and are at least temporarily off of the No-Fly List. (The Disney Company doesn't handle satire well and has a lot of pull with the U.S. government.) Nevertheless, we do occasionally have to get ...
