How far would you go for Disney? One man, Don Muchow, is embarking upon an epic run that will take him from coast to coast. Don is determined to complete a Disneyland-to-Disney World ultra marathon. This runner’s journey is quite different from what runDisney offers in terms of distance!

Don started his run in Newport Beach, CA on February 1st. From there, he ran over 14 miles to arrive at the esplanade between Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. He will run over 2,830 miles from Disneyland to Walt Disney World. The last leg of Don’s journey will be going from Disney World to Melbourne, FL so he can say he started at the Pacific Ocean and finished at the Atlantic Ocean. Don hopes to complete his Run Across America in 98 days and finish on May 8th, 2020.

The runner’s journey will take him through nine states. He already knows it’ll take him an estimated nine days to reach Walt Disney World once he crosses the Florida state line. Don already knows what he will do when reaches the Magic Kingdom. “Eat, get a massage, and go ride It’s a Small World,” said Don Muchow. He’ll have a day filled with Disney fun at Magic Kingdom before finishing his last 74 miles to arrive at Melbourne.

Don is an inspiration to others for his commitment to running long distances. With the right mindset and determination, we can achieve fantastic feats. Maybe one of our readers will think about joining a runDisney race in the future!

According to the quarterly report from The Walt Disney Company, Disney+ is now sitting at 28 million subscribers, with hopes of reaching 60-90 millions subscribers by 2024.

It appears that Disney is well on their way to reaching their goal and we can’t wait to see what The Walt Disney Company has in store for Disney+.

‘Loki‘, ‘WandaVision‘, and ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier‘ Added to Disney+ Release Schedule.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (August 2020)

Following the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” Sam Wilson/Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) team up in a global adventure that tests their abilities—and their patience—in Marvel Studios’ “The Falcon and The Winter Soldier.” The all-new series is directed by Kari Skogland; Malcolm Spellman is the head writer. Debuts on Disney+ August 2020.

WandaVision (December 2020)

Marvel Studios’ “WandaVision” blends the style of classic sitcoms with the Marvel Cinematic Universe in which Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen) and Vision (Paul Bettany)—two super-powered beings living their ideal suburban lives—begin to suspect that everything is not as it seems. The new series is directed by Matt Shakman; Jac Schaeffer is head writer. Debuts on Disney+ December 2020.

Loki (Spring 2021)

In Marvel Studios’ “Loki,” the mercurial villain Loki (Tom Hiddleston) resumes his role as the God of Mischief in a new series that takes place after the events of “Avengers: Endgame.” Kate Herron directs and Michael Waldron is head writer. Debuts on Disney+ next year, Spring 2021.

Bob Iger Says Marvel Studios is Developing 10 Shows for Disney+. During the quarter earnings call for The Walt Disney Company, Disney CEO Bob Iger shared that Marvel Studios is currently developing 10 Marvel Series exclusively for Disney+. After highlighting Loki, WandaVision, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Iger went on to say, “There are seven other Marvel series in various stages of development or pre-production.”

Currently slated for Disney+ are Marvel Series:

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
WandaVision
Loki
What If…?
Moon Knight
Hawkeye
Ms. Marvel
She-Hulk
Marvel’s 616
Marvel’s Storyboards

Marvel Studios is getting ready to begin Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the release of Black Widow on May 1st, but shared at the 2019 San Diego Comic Con that Marvel has already planned out Phase 5 for the MCU.Bob Iger Says Marvel Studios is Developing 10 Shows for Disney+

“We debated what we should announce today,” Feige told MTV News during SDCC 2019. “Should we announce Phase Four and Five? We’ve planned them out, we’ve got five years down the road and I was like, I think eleven projects in two years is plenty having not mentioned anything for two or three years.”

Iger did not share any official plans for Phase 5, but likely Phase 5 will include titles such as: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Captain Marvel 2, Spider-Man 3, and Deadpool 3. Though we will likely see multiple seasons for most of these new Marvel shows, it’s a safe assumption that Marvel and Disney will work to bring even more Marvel content exclusively to Disney+.
