We’re gearing up for some BUSY weeks of Disney news!

Cinderella Castle

Several big Disney projects have been announced in the past few months and years, and we’re eager to get updates on everything that’s coming soon. Thankfully, it’s that time of year! A couple of major Disney events are happening at the beginning of August, and we’re here to update you on EVERYTHING.

Starting out on August 7th at 8:30AM, The Walt Disney Company will do its quarterly earnings call. These don’t always come with major announcements, but we usually at least get a few news updates out of them. We learn more about Disney’s dealings with streaming, the financial reports from the company, and business strategies for the future.

Occasionally, Disney CEO Bob Iger will take the earnings call as an opportunity to make some news-worthy announcements, so we’ll be tuning in to see if anything comes up. We also like to comb through the financial reports when they’re released before the earnings call, so stay tuned that morning for all the updates.

The earnings call is on a Wednesday, and then by Friday, we’ll be in a whirlwind weekend of Disney events! At Disney World, Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party kicks off on Friday, August 9th, and we’ll be there for opening night. The annual event features trick-or-treating, exclusive entertainment, rare character meets, and lots of other not-quite-spooky fun throughout the night.

Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party

Typically, we have quite a few things to share from Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, including snack reviews, character updates, wait times, and crowd reports. Sometimes Disney even adds new offerings, like new segments in the parade or new performers around the park, so we’ll make sure to report back if we spot anything!

Also on August 9th, bookings will open for those wishing to sail on the Disney Destiny. This new cruise ship sets sail in December 2025 and will have a heroes and villains theme. We’ll be getting more information about the ship and its offerings starting July 30th.

But the BIG kicker is that D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event starts on August 9th and runs through August 11th. It’s a weekend-long event filled with special panels and showcases that talk about all of Disney’s ongoing and upcoming projects. And Disney will definitely be announcing some BIG news during the event!

One of the most highly-anticipated offerings from that event will be the Disney Experiences Showcase, where Disney Experiences Chairman Josh D’Amaro will take the stage to talk about what’s coming next for the Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Line. We’re hoping for updates about upcoming park expansions and the new cruise ships that have been recently announced!
