It Would Take You Over 100 Years To See Everything in Disney World

Due to the sheer size of Walt Disney World, we thought it would be fun to see how long it would take to see every room at every Disney World hotel. Credit: Disney The sheer size of the Walt Disney World Resort cannot be understated. Featuring four theme parks—Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom—two water parks—Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach—and over 30 hotels on a gigantic 27,000-acre property, Walt Disney World is a massive vacation destination. There are so many great hotels to stay at while on Walt Disney World property like Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Disney’s Boardwalk Resort, Pop Century, and countless others. According to online sources, Walt Disney World has 36,923 total rooms that guests can stay in. We did the math, and this means it would take a little over 101 years to stay inside each room at Disney World. Below is a full list of all the Disney Resorts on property! Bay Lake Tower at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Boulder Ridge Villas at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Disney’s All-Star Movies Resort Disney’s All-Star Music Resort Disney’s All-Star Sports Resort Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Jambo House Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Disney’s Beach Club Resort Disney’s Beach Club Villas Disney’s BoardWalk Inn Disney’s BoardWalk Villas Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort Disney’s Contemporary Resort Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Disney’s

MAGA Attacks DC Reboot Movie, Stars Respond to “Superwoke” Immigrant Backlash

Ahead of Superman‘s (2025) global release, the movie has gotten into hot water with the MAGA crowd. Credit: DC / Warner Bros. The New Era of DC, Superman, and Comic Book Storytelling James Gunn’s upcoming Superman film, set to soar into theaters on July 11, 2025, is more than just a reboot of the iconic hero—it’s the official launchpad for the newly restructured DC Universe under the banner of “Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.” This fresh cinematic universe isn’t a solo flight for the Man of Steel but rather a carefully designed entry point into a much larger, interconnected franchise. Gunn, now serving as co-CEO of DC Studios alongside Peter Safran, promises a more hopeful and character-driven approach, distancing this Superman from the darker, brooding energy that defined earlier versions in the Snyderverse. Credit: DC Studios David Corenswet takes up the cape as Superman, portraying a hero already three years into his journey rather than starting from scratch. He’s joined by Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane—whose own casting story went viral thanks to her finding out in a public restroom—and Nicholas Hoult as a modern-day tech mogul version of Lex Luthor. The film brings in a surprising ensemble of DC characters like Mister Terrific, Metamorpho, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, and even Krypto the Superdog, showing just how deeply interconnected this universe will be from the outset. Gunn’s goal is to blend emotional depth with classic comic book fun, laying a foundation not just for Clark

Disney+ Cuts Three Shows, Marvel and ‘Star Wars’ Fans Disappointed

While the influx of new franchise television series has drastically slowed down since Bob Iger’s return to the head of The Walt Disney Company, studios like Marvel and Lucasfilm are still putting out a plethora of content. Some fans, though, noticed that three upcoming shows were cut from Disney+’s latest announcement. Credit: Inside the Magic Disney+ has been active since late 2019. A savior for Disney fans living through the pandemic, Disney’s extensive media library was made accessible to anyone with a subscription. From classic movies like Walt Disney’s first feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) to a host of original content like The Mandalorian and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, Disney+ combines the many studios under the House of Mouse. Over the years, the streaming service has undergone extensive changes, including the service’s cost and the purging of multiple titles. Looking ahead, with Disney now in full control of Hulu, the biggest change may be yet to come as the services are seemingly on the precipice of combining. Credit: Disney So far this year, Disney+ has gained multiple new titles, like the latest Star Wars series Andor and the recent Marvel Cinematic Universe addition, Ironheart. Now, half way through 2025, The Walt Disney Company has shared a new sizzle reel of shows still to hit the streamer–but a few confirmed releases were noticeably absent. While the sizzle reel advertised upcoming projects like Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair starring Glenn

‘Harry Potter’ Actress Blasts Series, Says It “Wasn’t Important” to Her

A Harry Potter actress has dismissed the series, insisting that it “wasn’t important” to her. From 2001 to 2011, Harry Potter ruled supreme at the box office as the world’s most hyped franchise. Inspired by the series of the same name by JK Rowling, the franchise followed the Boy Who Lived (Daniel Radcliffe) as he and his friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) fought against the evil Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). Credit: Warner Bros. While it’s been over 10 years since the last installment – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 (2011) – hit theaters, it still has a tight grip on pop culture. So tight, in fact, that HBO is currently in the process of producing a TV reboot, this time releasing an entire season based on each of the original seven books. We’re still a way off the show’s premiere, but we do now have our core cast, with HBO unveiling the actors set to portray everyone from Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley to the likes of Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape, and Aunt Petunia. For now, it’s an entirely fresh cast. While some actors from the OG films have dismissed the idea of returning – and others have suggested they’d be keen to return in a different role – one actress we can assume won’t be revisiting the Wizarding World is Miriam Margolyes.

More Trees Bulldozed as Magic Kingdom Guests Watch, Original Park Landscape Erased

Walt Disney World Resort is pushing forward with historic changes to the Magic Kingdom, ensuring that the 53-year-old theme park will never be the same. On Wednesday, crews cleared even more land on the outskirts of the original Central Florida Disney park. This construction update comes just a week after workers bulldozed hundreds, if not thousands, of trees in the area. On Sunday, the Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island had their final day of operations in Frontierland. One day later, Walt Disney Imagineers and construction crews were spotted on and around Tom Sawyer Island, surveying the area for demolition. Earlier this month, construction workers bulldozed trees and poured gravel in an area just outside Magic Kingdom Park, preparing a staging area for construction equipment when it’s not in use in Frontierland. Credit: Inside the Magic After decades at the Magic Kingdom, Tom Sawyer Island and the Rivers of America closed to make way for Piston Peak National Park, inspired by the Cars (2006) universe. Inspired by the natural beauty of American National Parks, the area will feature several original features, including barrel bridges and part of the Rivers of America. It will also be home to two attractions: a family-friendly ride and a thrilling rally race. Concept art for Piston Peak National Park suggests that it will connect to another upcoming addition to Magic Kingdom Park, a Disney Villains land “beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.” Walt Disney Imagineering first announced this expansion at D23 Expo 2024,

Disney White House Meeting: Iger Discusses Future of Company as New Concern Rises

Bob Iger decided to have a serious Disney White House meeting to discuss the company’s future in light of the ever-growing concerns over artificial intelligence. Credit: Gage Skidmore, Flickr (Donald Trump) / Inside the Magic Disney Conducts a White House Meeting About the Future of AI and the Company’s IPs “It’s like watching your childhood being reprogrammed.” That’s how one Disney fan reacted after seeing an AI-generated clip of Mickey Mouse in a shockingly inappropriate video. What once seemed like harmless fun in the AI age—fan edits, deepfakes, and animated parodies—has quickly escalated into something more troubling, even dangerous. But now, the Walt Disney Company is taking a stand. Behind the scenes, in a meeting that was not broadcast or livestreamed, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Chief Legal Officer Horacio Gutierrez recently walked into the White House with a mission: to sound the alarm on how artificial intelligence is not just bending the rules—but breaking them wide open. So what exactly are they so worried about? And why does this matter not just for Disney, but for every family visiting the theme parks or watching a Disney+ film tonight? Let’s break it down.

From Snow White to Elsa, from Simba to Luke Skywalker, the studio has fiercely protected

Fan Backlash Forces Disney To Change Jollywood Nights 2025

If there’s one thing Disney fans know how to do well, it’s give feedback—especially when something doesn’t quite hit the mark. And when Jollywood Nights first rolled out as Hollywood Studios’ glamorous take on a holiday celebration, the idea was great, but the execution left some guests frustrated. The biggest complaint? Guests didn’t feel like they were getting enough time in the park for the price of admission. Well, good news for anyone planning a trip this year: Disney has finally addressed that issue, and it could make Jollywood Nights 2025 the best one yet.
