  1. it’s a shame that Disney is so taken over by the Woke
    as a child I loved Disney, grew up on it. anything Disney was Gold Standard. Mickey Mouse Club, Davey Crockett, Swamp Fox, Spin & Marty, Donald Duck, Annette … rrrrrrrowl, even Walt himself, were beloved characters of my childhood.
    going to Disneyworld was a pilgrimage for my children …. took them about 5 times. loved Main Street, Cinderella’s castle, Pirates of the Carribean, Frontier Land, Swiss Family Tree House, Captain Nemo, Hall of Presidents, the Monorail, Haunted House …. please, dont’ mention ‘It’s a Small World’ …. ooof
    now, after their butchering (even further than Lucas did) of Star Wars & the woke garbage they’ve churned out since, Disney is just another enemy of our way of life …. & another ruination of my childhood … they don’t deserve my spitting upon them

    I wish nothing more than their utter demise
