According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Disney is weighing their options on offering an Amazon Prime type of membership program to help drive sales to different divisions throughout the company.
Disney’s Chief Communications Officer Kristin Schake said,
Technology is giving us new ways to customize and personalize the consumer experience so that we are delivering entertainment, experiences, and products that are most relevant to each of our guests. A membership program is just one of the exciting ideas that are being explored.
Although the report in the WSJ emphasized that “Disney Prime” will not be the name of the new program, it seems reasonable to compare it to Amazon Prime for now. With Disney offering many memberships such as Disney+, Disney Vacation Club, Disney Visa, and so on, perhaps this program would offer various benefits and discounts.
The WSJ’s report cites inside sources stating that the program has Disney CEO Bob Chapek’s approval.
Last month, Deadline revealed that Disney was deep in development on an adaptation of “The Princess and the Pea”, one of the last classic fairy tales to have never seen a Disney adaption before. But a new rumor has surfaced suggesting that the film could be part of the Walt Disney Animation Studios family when it releases.
According to The DisInsider, the film is tentatively titled “Penelope” and will be loosely based on the classic Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale where a girl claiming to be a princess is tested by placing a pea under twenty mattresses to test whether she is truly sensitive enough to detect it.
The first report claimed it will be a musical, but new hearsay from The DisInsider suggests it will be animated and release in 2023 as the next feature after “Strange World” releases this Thanksgiving.
While there’s no confirmation yet from Disney on even the existence of this film, there is an untitled Walt Disney Animation Studios film set to open November 22, 2023 according to Disney’s latest release calendar, making this “Princess and the Pea” project a possible candidate.

As the refurbishment of the Matterhorn Bobsleds continues at Disneyland, scaffolding has gone up around the mountain in full view of guests.
The presence of the scaffolding suggests that the rockwork on the exterior will be spruced up during the refurbishment.
To accommodate the mountain’s slope, the scaffolding has been erected in levels.
Some sections have been wrapped in tarps, as seen in the picture above.
The work extends to a nearby tunnel, where more scaffolding is now up.
The attraction closed earlier this month for the refurbishment. Nearby construction walls offer displays on the history of the ride, which opened in 1959.
What do you hope they improve with this refurbishment? Share your thoughts in the comments!
