I just learned those LGBTQIA+ posts on official Disney accounts today weren't done to distract from the walk outs. They were done by individual cast members, who work in social media, in *support* of the walk outs.

i used the word “individual” to emphasize it wasn’t a concerted effort to shift a narrative, but in retrospect, it wasn’t the best word to represent social media staff. (there’s a copyright symbol on the graphic so I thought it was clear it wasn’t completely rogue, but I get it)

Said it once, will say it a thousand times: Walt Disney World's dependence on ever-increasing profits is creating a massive problem they will struggle to solve in 2-3 years when people have finally had enough. Fans will, mostly, tolerate it. But word of mouth on this? It's bad.

Disney California Adventure's event is $40 once you subtract parking ($10) and the dining card ($25). $40 to have hundreds of people return to work, spend an afternoon in a nice outdoor place where masks are enforced and maybe wave at Mickey Mouse is a win in my book.
