Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party: A Photo Essay – Lately, it seems Disney has been in a bit of a rough patch. The Disney streaming service, Disney+, doesn’t make any money and is losing billions of dollars. There is CEO drama. The stock price is way down. And while the Disney theme parks are total cash machines, we can say from our review of Disney World’s Grand Floridian that their hotels leave much to be desired.
