Disney’s $63 Billion in Product Sales Leads the Global Licensing Market

A new report shows product sales of licensed goods crossed the $300 billion threshold in 2024, with Disney accounting for just over 20% of the market. According to the 2025 Top Global Licensors report from trade magazine License Global, total retail product sales reached $307.9 billion last year, marking a 10% increase from the previous year.

Disney held its leading position in the licensing industry, generating an estimated $63 billion in product sales—a figure consistent with the previous year.

The rest of the top 10 rankings included:

Authentic Brands Group ($32 billion)
Dotdash Meredith ($26.7 billion)
NBCUniversal ($17 billion)
Hasbro ($16.1 billion)
Warner Bros. Discovery ($15 billion)
The Pokémon Co. ($12 billion)
Bluestar Alliance ($10 billion)
Mattel ($8.8 billion)
Sanrio ($8.4 billion)

License Global compiled these figures for licensed consumer product sales from January 1 to December 31, 2024. The data was provided by the companies or estimated using various industry sources.

Apparel remains a leading growth category, with 70% of brand owners identifying it as a key opportunity for licensed goods. Toys and games follow at 54%, while food and beverage has seen a dramatic increase in importance, with 52% of brand owners highlighting it.

The report also predicts a generational shift in purchasing, with Gen Z buyers expected to slightly surpass millennials in licensed product sales for 2025-26. Gen Z is forecasted to account for 27% of sales, while millennials’ share is expected to decrease from 28% to 24%. Gen Alpha will likely make up 22% of the market.

The report from License Global highlights that successful brands will need to move beyond individual products to create integrated experiences across physical, digital, and hybrid platforms. Consumers are increasingly prioritizing products that deliver meaningful connections, nostalgia, and identity expression. According to Ben Roberts, content director at License Global, these trends show the “resilience of emotional connections in consumer decision-making.” He notes that even with economic pressures, consumers remain loyal to brands that matter to them personally, a force that often transcends traditional market dynamics.

Disney World Union UNITE HERE Local 737 Filing Formal Complaint Against Patina Restaurant Group

Disney World Union UNITE HERE Local Filing Formal Complaint Against Patina Restaurant Group

Disney Springs and EPCOT Restaurant Workers File Complaint Against Patina Group, Citing Code of Conduct Concerns

A group of unionized restaurant workers from several dining locations at Walt Disney World is filing a formal complaint against the Patina Restaurant Group, alleging violations of The Walt Disney Company’s Supply Chain Code of Conduct. The complaint, filed by members of UNITE HERE Local 737, centers around concerns related to labor practices and workplace treatment, and calls on Disney to investigate and enforce its corporate standards.

Disney World Union UNITE HERE Local 737 Filing Formal Complaint Against Patina Restaurant Group

The employees involved work at various Patina-operated restaurants at Disney Springs and EPCOT, including well-known locations such as Morimoto Asia, The Edison, Maria & Enzo’s, Via Napoli, and Space 220. While these restaurants are physically located on Disney property, it is important to note that they are not owned or operated by Disney. Patina Group is a third-party vendor and a subsidiary of Delaware North, which independently manages the restaurants and employs their staff.

The union’s complaint focuses on three key areas outlined in Disney’s Supply Chain Code of Conduct:

Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining
Compliance with Applicable Laws
Sexual Harassment and Abuse

The action follows a series of reported events over the past year, including worker-led calls for union recognition and a high-profile petition regarding the termination of an employee who reported sexual harassment. Earlier this year, workers gathered during Disney Springs’ “Ramen Rumble” event to raise awareness about the employee’s firing, drawing attention to what they view as a pattern of mishandled grievances and workplace issues. This action also comes on the heels of the workers at the Italy Pavilion at EPCOT meeting to lay out demands for a new contract.

As part of their campaign, union members held a press conference outside Disney’s Labor Relations office at 1675 Buena Vista Drive. Wearing red union shirts, participants presented what they described as a courtroom-style display, comparing excerpts from Disney’s Code of Conduct to alleged workplace conditions within Patina-managed locations.

The union is not accusing Disney of direct wrongdoing, but rather calling on the company to uphold the standards it has outlined for all vendors and licensees that operate within its properties. Disney’s Supply Chain Code of Conduct is a corporate responsibility document designed to ensure safe, respectful, and lawful working conditions across all segments of its extended business operations.

At the time of this article’s publication, Disney has not issued an official comment regarding the complaint. Similarly, Patina Group and Delaware North have not responded publicly to the allegations.

Possible Incident on Magic Kingdom Ferryboat Wednesday Night Leads to Reported Guest Injuries

Possible Incident on Magic Kingdom Ferryboat Wednesday Night Leads to Reported Guest Injuries

Scary Scene on the Seven Seas Lagoon: Sudden Stop on Disney Ferryboat Sends Guests to Hospital

A magical night reportedly took a frightening turn Wednesday evening when a Walt Disney World ferryboat came to a sudden stop near the Ticket and Transportation Center (TTC), causing passengers to tumble during a severe storm.

The incident occurred at approximately 11:40 p.m. as the General Joe Potter ferryboat, one of the iconic vessels that transport guests between the Magic Kingdom and the TTC, was making its final approach to the dock. According to guests onboard, the boat came to a jarring and complete stop, catching everyone off guard and throwing standing passengers forward.

Social media quickly lit up with firsthand accounts from shaken guests, many describing the moment as “terrifying” and “chaotic.” Several noted the heavy rain and stormy conditions that blanketed the area at the time, suggesting the weather may have played a role in the vessel’s abrupt stop.

Emergency dispatch logs confirm that a mutual aid call was issued at 12:02 a.m., matching the TTC ferryboat dock location. Units reportedly remained on site until after 2 a.m. Multiple sources indicate that nearly 20 passengers were transported to local hospitals for evaluation following the incident.

As a free-floating vessel navigating the expansive Seven Seas Lagoon, the General Joe Potter, like all of Disney’s ferryboats, is susceptible to shifting lake conditions, particularly during inclement weather. Unlike monorails or buses, there are no seat belts onboard, and most passengers remain standing throughout the voyage, which increases the risk of falls if the boat stops unexpectedly.

While Disney has not yet released an official statement on the incident, ferryboat operations resumed as usual by the next morning, with the General Joe Potter reportedly undergoing inspection.

This is not the first time weather has complicated watercraft operations at Walt Disney World, but it may be one of the more serious incidents in recent memory involving a large number of injuries.

For now, guests are reminded to hold onto rails and be alert during inclement weather when traveling across the lagoon—and hopefully, the next ferry ride is much smoother sailing.

First Look at Eerie Eats and Snister Sips Coming to Jock Lindsey's Halloween Hangar Bar in Disney Springs

Jock Lindsey’s Halloween Hangar Bar Debuts at Disney Springs This Fall — With Spooky Bites to Match!

Indiana Jones’ favorite pilot is trading in his pith helmet for a pumpkin! Starting August 19, 2025, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar at Disney Springs is getting its first-ever Halloween overlay — and the initial sneak peek is more treat than trick.

Dubbed Jock Lindsey’s Halloween Hangar Bar, this frightfully fun transformation will bring themed décor, creepy-cute eats, and limited-time libations to the fan-favorite lounge. While the bar has long been known for its holiday glow-up each winter, this is the first time it’s embracing the eerie vibes of spooky season — and we are here for it.

Let’s dig into some of the bone-chilling bites you can expect from this spirited celebration:

Fried Chicken “Eyeball” Biscuit Sandwich – This savory snack puts the boo in biscuits! Fried chicken is nestled in a flaky biscuit and topped with skewered olives for a comically creepy “eyeball” effect.
Crated Chicken & Eyeball Eggs – Chicken bites are paired with devilishly dressed deviled eggs made to look like — you guessed it — eyeballs, all served in a rustic wooden crate.
Spooky Skull Quesadillas – Mini quesadillas are stamped with skull designs and laid atop chopped veggies, complete with a blood-red dipping sauce. Grim, but delicious.
Mummified Sausages in a Coffin – Pastry-wrapped sausage “mummies” arrive in a coffin-shaped box with a tangy sauce on the side. Talk about a graveyard snack smash!

Though the food alone is enough to lure us in like moths to a flickering jack-o’-lantern, the overlay promises even more. Themed cocktails and desserts are reportedly on the way — and if they’re anything like the visuals we’ve seen, they’ll be just as photo-worthy as they are fang-tastic.

While Disney Springs doesn’t (yet) go full haunted house for Halloween, this is a wickedly fun step in that direction. Jock Lindsey’s has always leaned into its adventurous and eclectic theming, and now it’s flying into spookier skies.

So if you’re heading to Walt Disney World this fall, be sure to swing by Disney Springs for a chilling charcuterie, a spellbinding sipper, or just to soak up the festive ambiance at the Halloween Hangar Bar. Just don’t be surprised if your food is looking back at you…

Disney Lorcana Announces Major News at Gen Con 2025

July 31, 2025

Two years after its debut at Gen Con 2023, Disney Lorcana, the collectible trading card game from Ravensburger, has become a breakout force in the genre. With eight sets released and more than 1,800 unique cards in circulation, the game reached a milestone in June with its first-ever World Championship—an event that dazzled fans and underscored Lorcana’s growing global footprint.

Now, Ravensburger is turning the page. At this year’s Gen Con, the publisher offered fans a preview of what’s next, headlined by Fabled, the game’s ninth set, which launches globally on September 5. On the convention’s streaming stage, the team unveiled a slate of new content: character cards including Powerline – World’s Greatest Rock Star, a series of themed Lorcana jigsaw puzzles, and early details on upcoming sets Whispers in the Well and Winterspell, the latter slated for release in the first quarter of 2026. Fans can find the full slate of announcements and card reveals on Disney Lorcana’s official Instagram account.

Powerline World's Greatest Rock Star ENCHANTED

At Gen Con, the nation’s largest tabletop gaming convention, fans of Disney Lorcana were treated to a preview of the franchise’s latest evolution. Ravensburger, the publisher behind the rapidly growing trading card game, unveiled a selection of cards from the upcoming Fabled set, including the introduction of a new, ultra-rare card category: Iconic.

Only two Iconic cards will appear in Fabled—Mickey Mouse – Brave Little Prince and Minnie Mouse – Sweetheart Princess. Even rarer than the coveted Enchanted tier, these cards are distinguished by full alternate artwork, a shimmering foil pattern, and hot-stamped text and stats, making them instant collector highlights.

Beyond the card game, Ravensburger also introduced a new line of Disney Lorcana-themed jigsaw puzzles. Six 1,000-piece puzzles, each inspired by a color of magical ink central to the game’s lore, will soon be available. Gen Con attendees were shown the designs for four puzzles—Amber, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire—joining the previously revealed Amethyst and Steel editions. Each puzzle assembles a vivid collage of beloved Disney characters reimagined through Lorcana’s visual lens.

The puzzles will go on sale September 1 at participating retail locations and will be accompanied by a promotional card: Mickey Mouse – True Friend.

Fresh off the fanfare of Fabled, Disney Lorcana is poised to enter a new, enigmatic era. The next expansion in the trading card game’s evolving narrative, Whispers in the Well, beckons players to “Light Your Path” and unravel the mysteries hinted at by ghostly echoes in the realm of Lorcana.

At Gen Con, attendees were treated to early glimpses of glimmers from Zootopia, with Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps making their debut as sharp-eyed detectives. The set’s pre-release events begin November 7 at select local game stores and Disney retail locations, with a full release scheduled for November 14. Pre-orders are now open through online retailers.

Looking ahead, Winterspell—the set slated for release in the first quarter of 2026—promises “Flurries of Fun.” While Ravensburger remained tight-lipped about the snow-covered expansion during the sweltering Indianapolis weekend, a few frozen hints melted their way into the spotlight. Fans can expect a frosty return from Angel of Lilo & Stitch fame, along with a flurry of wintry delights.

Though photos offer a glimpse, the true teases lie in motion. Enthusiasts eager for more details would do well to tune in to the official Disney Lorcana Instagram and the weekly Lorecast streams on Twitch, where subtle clues and previews often slip through the cracks—for those paying close enough attention.

Hong Kong Disneyland Unleashes “Friendtastic!” Parade for 20th Anniversary – And It’s Pure Magic

Hong Kong Disneyland is throwing a birthday bash like no other, and the guest of honor? YOU! To celebrate 20 years of pixie dust, magic, and memories, the resort has officially kicked off its “Most Magical Party of All”—and headlining the festivities is the all-new Friendtastic! parade, the largest and most dazzling daytime parade the park has ever produced.

att dexPxyowizrddqxvDoeBjmaaPCfXKnlcHelGns

This isn’t just a cavalcade—it’s a full-blown character-studded celebration, jam-packed with original music, stunning floats, local flair, and more Disney friends than you can wave a Mickey glove at. Let’s dive into five magical reasons you need a front-row seat for this unforgettable new experience!

1. It’s the Biggest Parade in Hong Kong Disneyland History

Turning 20 calls for something massive—and Friendtastic! delivers. With 11 elaborately themed floats, over 100 live performers, and 30+ Disney characters, this is a high-energy spectacle like nothing the park has ever staged. The route becomes a moving party celebrating friendship, storytelling, and a little Disney magic around every corner.

2. Duffy and Friends Make Their Parade Debut

Prepare your squeals of joy—Duffy and Friends are officially in the parade game! The cuddly crew gets their very own float for the first time ever at HKDL, complete with an original new song that will have you humming long after the last float rolls by. It’s a must-see moment for fans of ShellieMay, Gelatoni, StellaLou, CookieAnn, ‘Olu Mel, and LinaBell!

3. Encanto’s Casa Madrigal Dances to Life

We don’t talk about Bruno…unless it’s on a spectacular Encanto float! For the first time ever, Casa Madrigal has been brought to life in parade form, and it’s nothing short of magical. Windows, tiles, and floors move and groove to the rhythm of the music, while members of the Family Madrigal pop up all around. It’s a vivid, colorful explosion of magic that’ll have you shouting, “¡Encanto!”

4. Local Love: Hong Kong Details Hidden in Plain Sight

Disney magic meets hometown pride! The parade includes clever nods to Hong Kong, like the Bauhinia flower on the opening and closing floats—a tribute to the city’s iconic emblem. Look closely at the Zootopia float, and you’ll spot references to Lion Rock, a bubble tea billboard, and even signage that riffs off Kowloon (hello, “Cowoon!”). It’s a heartfelt tribute that makes this parade uniquely HKDL.

Celebrate Happy Cavalcade End Date Revealed at Disneyland

Disneyland has quietly confirmed the final performance date for the 70th anniversary “Celebrate Happy” cavalcade this year.

The Disneyland website confirms that the “Celebrate Happy” cavalcade will have its final performance on August 21. Beginning the very next day, August 22, it will be replaced by the Mickey and Friends Halloween cavalcade. These two cavalcades cannot run concurrently as they share some of the same floats and infrastructure. To make way for the Halloween festivities at Disneyland, “Celebrate Happy” will take a break for the season.

Since Disneyland’s 70th anniversary celebrations are slated to continue through summer 2026, it’s highly probable that the “Celebrate Happy” cavalcade will make its return after the holiday season concludes.

Have you had a chance to experience the Celebrate Happy Cavalcade?
