About this listen
Disney just inked the largest CCPA settlement in California history, a whopping 2.75 million dollar payout announced February 11 by Attorney General Rob Bonta, after probes revealed their opt-out tools on Hulu and Disney Plus let data sales slip through cracks across devices and apps, according to the California Department of Justice press release and Clark Hill analysis. Theyre now overhauling those privacy mechanisms company-wide with universal opt-outs and three years of monitoring, a wake-up call for their streaming empire amid tightening regs.
Hot off that, Disney legend Miley Cyrus is sashaying back for the Hannah Montana 20th anniversary special hitting Disney Plus March 24, a nostalgic love letter packed with behind-the-scenes magic and a non-stop streamathon of all four seasons plus the movie and concert film starting February 19, as per official Disney Branded Television and Disney Plus announcements. Fans are buzzing over half a billion hours already streamed, proving that double-life diva vibe still slays.
Parks wise, Disney Springs gears up for Gideon’s Bakehouse savory spinoff Six Ravens with hand pies and brews later this year, plus Level99’s adult challenge playground on the old NBA Experience site, per Disney Food Blog scoops, while their Lime Garage wraps refurb phase two through March 13. Whispers from Disney Tourist Blog and WDW News Today podcasts swirl that new CEO Josh D’Amaro, crowned February 14, is supercharging Villains Land at Magic Kingdom, ditching tame plans for bolder thrills amid bigger parks investments—pure speculation but with insider chatter on fan ROI and Imagineering hype.
On the edge, Disney fired off a cease-and-desist to ByteDance over AI tool Seedance 2.0 amid Hollywood fury, ScreenDaily reports, signaling IP claws out. No big public sightings or X storms, but construction hums: Cinderella Castle repainting advances per WDWMagic photos February 17, and five-year plans tease Mandalorian Falcon missions May 22, Muppets coaster takeover, and Soarin’ America swaps. Disney’s playbook stays packed, blending fines, throwbacks, and theme park gambles under fresh leadership.
