Harrison Ford Dons the Fedora Again for a New Indy-Themed Disney World Ride

Harrison Ford, 84, is set to reprise Indiana Jones for a new Disney World attraction at Animal Kingdom, where his likeness will appear as an animatronic for Indiana Jones and the Myth of the Jade Serpent. Ford revealed the project via a pre-taped message at the D23 convention; the ride is part of the park’s Tropical Americas expansion and will follow Indy through a Mayan temple and serpent-protected ruins, though Disney has not announced an opening date. This marks the first use of Ford’s image in an Indy attraction, even as the franchise’s cinema future remains uncertain.

Disney World's iconic trash cans depart, nostalgia floods in

Disney World is phasing out its iconic flat-topped trash cans across its four theme parks and two water parks, replacing them with taller, solar-powered, self-compacting models. Fans mourn the change, recalling how the cans doubled as impromptu tables and photo backdrops, while Disney says the upgrade improves waste management and park operations as the rollout continues this summer. Nostalgia for the old design persists, with collectors and merchandise keeping its memory alive even as the new cans take center stage.

The Price of the Crown: A Disney Princess Leaves After Neck Pain

The Price of the Crown: A Disney Princess Leaves After Neck Pain

Katherine Randle spent seven years at Walt Disney World portraying Ariel, Rapunzel, and Mary Poppins from ages 18 to 25, but heavy Rapunzel braids caused chronic neck pain and arthritis. Despite medical care and union involvement, she says casting wouldn’t disapprove her in Rapunzel, and her final shift ended in tears after a manager urged her to seek health services. Now pursuing an MFA in London, she still wears a neck brace and cherishes the job, even as she questions whether she should have left sooner. Florida law provides workers’ compensation for on-the-job injuries, but removal from a role wasn’t granted, and other performers describe similar safety concerns; Disney did not comment.
