Iger: “It’s Time For Me to Have A Blank Canvas”, Talks Life After Disney In New Interview

In an interview with CNBC (yes, the same CNBC that reported on a prediction that Iger returns as Disney CEO in 2022), former Disney CEO Bob Iger talked a bit about his life after Disney.

I tried to book the Sunshine Flyer for my daughter who is flying down to spend a few days with us during our vacation. Her flight comes in at 943pm and it only showed buses up to 10 pm. When I asked if this would work out, I was told no they don't go that late. Just something to keep in mind when booking.

Most of those changes sound stupid and/or unnecessary. I think I'll pass on this version of the show.

With the shooting involving Alec Baldwin, they may have thought it prudent.

Disney World To Livestream Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks TONIGHT!

If you’ve got some free time on your Tuesday night, we recommend that you tune in to @DisneyParks TikTok account where Disney World will be sharing a very special holiday treat. Starting at 11:15 pm ET, there will be a wonderful broadcast of Minnie’s Wonderful Christmastime Fireworks Show which is one of the highlights of ANY Christmas visit to “The Most Magical Place on Earth” and now you can experience right from the comfort of home.

This is late so I may not get real time help - but does anyone get how to watch this? I'm not a huge TikTok person - I know it well enough. But I keep going to the DisneyParks TikTok page and it's not clear how I would watch a live video of theirs and I'm getting frustrated.

I’m sorry I wasn’t on earlier to help you, but for future reference, make sure you’re following them… once you’re doing that, it should automatically notify you if they’re live while you’re on the app… if not, go to the bottom of the page and click ‘Inbox’, it will list on top anyone you are following that is currently ‘Live’. I hope that helps!!

Thank you! I kept refreshing and eventually, I noticed their avatar had a sort of changing (glowing?) icon that said "Live" which looked different than before. So, I clicked and it worked. I had tried following, etc but didn't know the inbox part - so thank you so much! Admittedly, I asked late - I just kept thinking, "I'll go to the news story and it'll have the link I need to click." And it sort of did, but that led to me to Twitter, which didn't link to the DisneyParks TikTok page at all.

I know I'm probably just cranky - but this feels like a great example of what so many of us are feeling right now. Why on earth did they have to make it so difficult? I feel like other situations where they've live-streamed things, they had Facebook links, Disney Parks Blog posts, etc all posting to Youtube (or at least one common place). I could've seen it if there was some sort of "log into Disney+" thing which allowed them to drive more viewers there - but TikTok?

Anyway - thanks for your help, @mrsap!

Looks like Amazon Web Services just tanked on east coast again ... keep an eye out for potential issues with websites/apps this morning if it doesn't get resolved soon. Depending on how bad it is, this could have the potential to mess with the MDE app and the parks today. DownDetector is already reporting a bunch of stuff going down
