The Walt Disney Company had some fun news this week with one major surprise!
EPCOT
The Disney Company is keeping us on our toes in 2025 with major changes like DinoLand’s closure beginning, Muppet Vision 3D signing off soon, and the continued search for the next Disney CEO which will be announced sometime next year. There is always something going on within the Disney brand so we’re wrapping up the three biggest news stories from this week!
It’s been a busy week for Disney! Of our three new stories this week, 2 of them were exciting and 1 left us baffled! Starting off with the sweetest news, Disney’s newest baby has made his debut! Baby Bakso is the Sumatran tiger cub that was born at Disney’s Animal Kingdom and we can finally go see him ourselves.

Bakso arrived at the Maharajah Jungle Trek earlier this week with his mom, Sohni, for guests to enjoy. When we stopped by he was sleeping quietly in the grass so he was hard to spot, but he was there! We promise!
Oh Bakso, where are you?
We’ve been watching Bakso through Disney’s Tiger Tuesday updates online and it has been so exciting to see him grow!
See more about Bakso’s debut here!
