    I enjoy stories because they are good, not because of politics. This is going to go the same way as all the others.

    Disney deserves everything that happens that company is evil I would never let my kids go back Disney I will rather take them to universal

    1. Mel

      Universal is the same as Disney with its inclusion, beliefs etc. They have same sex partners in shows and in costume. They’re just a little less vocal politically. Neither one is evil. And neither are the employees. With an attitude like that, we don’t want you at either park. Maybe you should stick with something like this theater company instead. I’d rather take my chances with the parks versus abuse by priests and ignorant people.

      1. Not a sheep

        More abuse occurred in the public school system.

        1. Dan G

          Public school is far from perfect, but it isn’t near as bad as religious alternatives.

      2. Gina

        Whether you want people with like minded views there is irrelevant. We have our values, and you have your lack of. We don’t need blasphemy shoved down our throats. This is not the Disney Walt created, it is a perversion of it. Very sad.

        1. Widsith

          I absolutely agree with Gina. As a Disney fan since my childhood, I am ashamed of what Disney has become and repulsed by it.

          1. H

            as a Disney fan since my childhood, I’m happy and proud to see it changing with the times. Even Walt knew they would need to keep changing and evolving to survive, and they are still thriving because of their abilities to grow and change. The dinosaurs died out once, they will again soon.

        2. Jona Denz-Hamilton

          Your first couple of sentences made you sound pro-Disney.

        3. Netalia

          I’m a Christian who sends their child to a Christian school and loves Christ. Christ loved and WELCOMED all people, not just followers. Disney is fantastic and the only problem are cult like “Christians” who have lost sight of what Jesus stood for and why He died for us.

      3. Walt

        Gee Mel – I hope you count yourself among those ingnorant people

        1. Tia

          I used to be a Disney fan, but now won’t take my kids to their films. They’ve lost my trust and my money.

          1. D

            I’m sure Disney is broken up about it 🙄

          2. Far

            Buh bye

          3. Jona Denz-Hamilton

            You’re way in the minority.

      4. Candice

        Wow, such an ignorant comment that you just posted Mel

        1. Theresa

          How is it ignorant? Mel stated that clergy and ignorant people are more dangerous than Disney’s support of their over 70,000 employees. If you don’t like a place’s values or opinions don’t go. Means less of a line for the rest of us.

          1. h

            With fewer and fewer of them there, it won’t only have shorter lines, it truly is becoming the happiest place on earth!

        2. Far

          You’re not forced to do anything Disney, just shut up about it it’s not hurting you 👶

      5. Far

        Many of whom are probably armed and mental

      6. Lang

        Stereotype much?

    2. Daniel

      As a Christian who follows the teachings of Jesus, I see nothing wrong with Disney. They are definitely not evil. You can disagree with certain things that they support (which they do out of care for their employees, customers, and patrons), but that doesn’t mean they are evil. This whole “anti-woke” is ignorant at best and even goes as far as being evil hatred. Being “anti-woke” is just political rhetoric created by fascists in order to gain control over their followers. If you knew what “woke” even meant and the idea behind it, it falls in line more with Jesus’ teachings. Is it exact? No. But definitely more in line than the “anti-woke” movement that so many so-called Christians in the US have adopted even though they usually don’t even know what it really means. Only developing their beliefs on it based on politicians and news media instead of actual facts. People who say they are Christians need to start following Jesus instead of political leaders. That doesn’t mean we have to agree with everyone, but we have a different way of walking in this life than what politicians are leading so many to.

      1. John

        Brilliant

      2. Jay

        Cool story…

        1. Stacey

          Thank you for being the voice of reason. DeSantis is picking a fight he cannot win, thank God.
          As a Mom, if I were to suggest taking my daughter to a Christian theatre company in lieu of Disney, she would not be happy, and neither would my husband and myself.
          I’m sure such theatres have their merit, but only to devout Christians. Keep your religious indoctrination vehicles away from Florida. The Holy Land Experience is a good example. They closed because families would rather allow their children to enjoy themselves and make family memories at Disney than sit them in a theatre to be bored and horrified by biblical fiction.
          But please, if you’re going to cry about Disney being “woke”, don’t come to Florida. We don’t need to listen to holy roller propaganda while our kids have fun.

      3. Former cast member

        The Walt Disney company as it is now spits on christians and discriminates against them. Stop supporting them if you are a follower of Christ.

        1. Stacey

          Yes please! Followers of Christ who have an issue with Disney should definitely stay away and attend your god theatre instead. The Disney Theatre arks might be a little less crowded and more enjoyable for us Heathens.

        2. love disney

          😂😂😂😂🎁🎁

        3. Far

          Lists aren’t Christians and you just lied twice. Good riddance

      4. Karen

        Well spoken.

      5. E Ryuu

        You need to wake up and read the Bible again. That and actually do research on what’s actually happening in society today by the Woke Left.

        1. Jona Denz-Hamilton

          Yes, understand how Jesus was about as woke as they get!

      6. Steven

        Agree!

      7. Mark R Peoples

        Calling yourself a Christian I’m not religious but I do know the Christian teachings you must be one of those go out and fornicate and drink and sin then go to church and repent for your sins kind of Christian Keep your blasphemy out of conversations unless you follow the teaching of your faith. Which you obviously don’t. There is no such thing as being transgender according to the bible. As a matter of fact God would have had the Israelites commit genocide on anyone that sinned against his creation of male and female You are more than likely not even a Christian just using that platform to berate people just like transgender ideology does without any facts to back up what you say

      8. Lang

        Very well said. Some do put thier faith in politicians and or government and allow division and evil in. My hope -Yaweh

      9. Jona Denz-Hamilton

        Ten gold stars for you. If only these folks could understand how Woke Jesus was.

    3. Kathleen Parker

      Seriously? Lol. If you really believe that Universal is different… 🤣🤣😘

    4. Victor Monroe

      Generations change from one to the next. When there is a complete disconnect in ideology and they become violent then that’s when something has to give. All it takes is someone with enough charisma to convince masses of people that evil exists among them and it must be destroyed. History has proven his occurs. Most wars that happen within it’s own borders are because of ideological differences. All countries have witnessed this occurence and always will. Humans need no God or gods to destroy themselves. They will do this with with extreme prejudiced. I pray and hope this will pass by us and come together, but at this point in time it’s doubtful. Secular vs Religious will always be at odds. God help us all.

    5. Steve

      Your kids will turn out poorly because of you.

      1. Far

        Yes we blame your parents for you, thank you!

    6. J

      Cool! Thanks for giving up your spots in line(s)! By the way – you DO realize universal has 2 entire sections devoted to “evil” witchcraft and wizardry, right? Feel free to stay away from that park too.

  3. silly

    lolllll seethe harder, christfags

    1. Not a sheep

      Love it when the sodomites speak up.

      1. Trevor

        Sodomy is my favorite! Nothing better than sodomizing my girlfriend and her friends.

      2. Stacey

        You are the Sheep. We are free thinkers.

  4. Gary

    Listen to other people Walt would never have let what is going on in Disney now so keep hitting the Woke faction and get everything the way it should be!!

  5. Walt

    Te biases of these authors is ridiculous . Everything i s “far Right” Extreme Right” While guys dressing up as women, and every other sexual disfunction is just dandy. Ummm only those on one side of this argument had their proclivities listed in the Diagnostic Services Manual (IV and V) until activists shut down Mental Health conferences with whistles shouting and other disruptions at conferences. By definition Disney is siding very vocally with the non-normal element of the population. Normal BY DEFINITION is what most people do. And by the way I would go to Universal BECAUSE they are not shoving it in our face and down our throats. I don’t care how you live your life BUT I don’t want ANY sexual crap including Heterosexual crap shoved down my families throat. AND Men cannot become women and vice versa – it is IMPOSSIBLE. It is programmed into your genes! – not your jeans.

    1. Stacey

      The way what should be? Get your ass to church if you want god talk. Mickey’s not a Christian, lol!

    2. Stacey

      If you don’t believe in gender reassignment, don’t transition. Leave those alone who wish to. What the hell do you care what procedures some have done to their own autonomous bodies! Are you a pervert? Keep your nose out of other peoples’ pants ffs.

      1. E Ryuu

        Because they’re starting to push it on CHILDREN! Children as young as TWO! Children don’t have the capacity to make life changing decisions like transitioning. Taking hormone blockers can STERILIZE them. Leave your depraved fetishes and life styles behind closed doors!

        1. mcta2

          Lol what? Hormone blockers aren’t started until puberty… also the FDA says it’s fully reversible short term (past the age of consent). depression causes infertility and death. So maybe there’s no need to judge children.

    3. Far

      Can you be any less American?

  6. Mason

    Walt Disney was against communism and was pro-America unlike so many of Disney’s employees today.

    1. CJA

      What is your reasoning that Cast Members are not pro-American? What evidence besides what you think is right or American do you have? Labeling something Communist does not make it so; it’s a form of government that hasn’t really been followed even if called as such. These are just dog whistle words for those who disagree with you.

    2. Far

      Site the pole or sit in one

  7. Sigurther

    “aggressive far-right actors like Gina Carano”

    Like, what? Sounds like something written by someone who’s intimidated by strong women.

  8. John

    LOL. There’s literally no difference in taking your kids to Universal rather than Disney.

  9. John

    As if anyone cares what some random theater does. Ironic, however, that the theater industry includes many, many LBGTQ+ artists you seem so scared of.

  10. Jim

    (Sigh) You sound like a dog, “woke! Woke! Woke!”
    Having a conscience that respects the individuality of others, pervasive systemic injustice, and a need for understanding and compassion is the opposite of evil. To dog, everything is a bone, I suppose.

  11. Shae

    I have always loved everything Disney from the time I was just 3 years old. (I am 53 now) However, I cannot support a company that is supporting an agenda that goes completely against my beliefs. Honestly, I have seen a marked decline in the magic of Disney since they have decided to embrace the woke ideology and agenda. I had a horrific experience the last time I was at Disney and now that they are so wrapped up in the sexualization of children it is time to hang up my mouse ears. I will be looking for another place to enjoy with my family. This venue looks promising.

    1. Stacey

      What’s wrong? Disney’s too woke? GOOD. It should be. And it’s only going to get more open, progressive and inclusive.
      Please, Christian’s…. Don’t litter our parks with your fire and brimstone fairytales.

    2. Steve

      Good riddance!

    3. Far

      THEN DON’T YOU’RE NOT FORCED TO SETTLE DOWN. For Christ sake get a life!

  12. Just what kids need , crazy Christians telling them lies

    1. E Ryuu

      Lies like men can become women? That someone can actually be part animal or fairytale creature? That someone can identify as a candle? Yeah no, I think we’re the ones actually based in reality, thank you.

  13. Joetuesday420

    Here we are in America. These comments are exactly the problem. 2 sides both think they’re right and in some ways they both are but it’s not the job or right of any corporation to get in the middle of social issues. Disney is not a person but has a very large reach and should not be used to push the beliefs of a single person or board on the rest of us. Kids should be allowed to watch shows and enjoy them not get caught in the middle of politics. It’s not Disney’s job to make my kids comfortable with trans people for example. It’s my job to explain that to them and as their father I will as I see fit, not Bob Iger. This is the issue with Disney. If a man wants to put on a thong and a dress and prance around like a woman he should have the freedom to do what he wants, but I as a believer in facts, remember those, I should have the freedom to reject the notion that he is actually a female because it’s simply not based in fact and there is no conclusive proof that because he feels like a lady, he is a lady.

    1. CJA

      Remember that the Supreme Court with its Citizens’ United decision ruled that corporations can and do have the right to their opinions and expression thereof. What galls me is that while freedom of speech can and does have private consequences (such as people boycotting), you are supposed to be protected from the government punishment, and DeSantis is imposing government sanctions on a company who disagrees with him. That should be a far bigger concern.

    2. JGB

      Right on point!

    3. Far

      It’s not Disney’s job to exclude their CUSTOMERS !!!!!!! Bless your heart!

  14. Rand

    Frankly, I couldn’t care less of people stopped going to Disney due to their “values.” Most of those people wouldn’t know “woke” if it fell out of the sky and landed on their pointy little, brainless heads. Don’t go. Parks are often too crowded and the fewer hillbillies there are generally being in the way the more space for the rest of us. By the way, Disney owns or has a large stake in ABC, ESPN, Touchstone pictures, Marvel, Lucasfilm, A&E, The History Channel, Lifetime, Pixar, Hollywood Records, and Core Publishing. They merged with 21st Century Fox. Don’t forget to put on your tin foil hats and hide under your beds when you encounter any of these businesses.

    1. Far

      Amen!

  15. Misty

    I’m just glad that there is someone that is willing to fight this woke b.s. that is being pushed on our kids. Disney is full of people trying to groom children. I hope DeSantis can win this war and I hope that the rest of America sees that th8s woke 8deology will not last. It’s not sustainable.

    1. Stacey

      The only thing DeSantis can win is a county fair style “largest pig” contest 😂

      1. Mark R Peoples

        You are the biggest moron in this space go play with your demented friends and stay out of conversations you can’t win

    2. Far

      Ron DeSantis wears high heels. Mary one break.

  16. Howard

    Disney is a fantastic company and nothing any of these snowflakes say or does will change Disney or hurt them. Cry on though.

  17. Akmett

    To be honest I had no problem with the race swapping, little mermaid the actress could sing, the songs being changed threw me off, but only cause the culture shift. The movie sucked cause the CGI made it unwatchable. Even the mermaids shells were poorly CGI’d. The other remakes bugged me for various other reasons mainly to do with poor lip syncing, Beauty and the Beast, and over all changes to the original story that made no sense, Aladin.
    They have made little to no attempt to make new original stories to support POC, and if they do its so preachy the movies are not magical anymore and way to politically driven in one direction and not in the middle at all. It makes the movies hard to watch and enjoy and see them as anything magical or fantasy based.
    Disney lost the magic when they got involved so far into politics that it leaks and spews into their movies, shows, and parks.

    1. Soar

      Well said indeed, the messages we are being barraged with are becoming nauseating and nothing like the Disney I grew up with. The PC blarney is why I’m on my way out from Disney and moving on to better entertainment choices that don’t have a hidden agenda.

  18. Daniel Turner

    Let’s hope so. If not, Disney will be facing problems that are worse than the box office bombs.

  19. J. E.

    And. Parochial schools

  20. Glen

    I like Disney. Inclusion is the way of the future. Making amount of a mole hill coming up with a solution for something that’s not a problem.

  21. Far

    Well it’s good they’re gathered in one place. (Cough, cough)

  22. Soar

    I am excited to see what this new theater company has to offer, am definitely tired of Disney pushing it’s ‘UN-wokeism’ agenda on my family and I. I am tired of hidden and not so hidden surprises in Disney movies when you take your child to a movie and am on my way out from Disney if this is it’s new face. I think Wallt Disney would be turning over in his grave if he could see what Disney is turning into and has become. I’m interested to see what this new theater company offers my family and I and will be keeping my eyes on this wonderful new option!👍

  23. Jona Denz-Hamilton

    If you truly understand where Jesus was coming from, you’d realize how WOKE he was and how he tried to enlighten those clinging to traditions that persecuted minorities and outcasts.

  24. Rock Show ness

    Take the place of Disney ? Oh… please 🤦

  25. There are very plenty of details like that to think about. This is a fantastic point out retrieve. I provide thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly you will find questions including the one you talk about the place that the most essential factor will likely be doing work in honest good faith. I don?t know if guidelines have emerged about such thinggs as that, but I am sure that the job is clearly defined as a reasonable game. Both youngsters glance at the impact of simply a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.
