Disney+ Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐟 (@TheNicholasWolf) reported@PupienusMaxima My understanding was that after Colin Trevorrow backed out sort of last minute and Disney was in a bit of a bind and Rian actually had a lot of creative control, which is how JJ’s original script got axed. He was also ideologically aligned with the ESG-obsessed board members, so that probably exacerbated the issue.
-
Anti-Woke Techie (@AntiWoke_techie) reported@Aku_700 Way more work in the parks. Let’s also not forget the Epstein island Disney cruise stops.
-
Rahul Rajhans (@RahulRajha57345) reportedThe problem is males that can provide this exist . Romantics still exist Its just they wont look like disney princes .Far from it .
-
Kcold (@Kcmedia22) reportedthe inconsistent character work. I'm going to be blunt and say that Disney+ has done an absolute disservice to the series by limiting its overall episode output and it really damages how the episodes have to be constructed...
-
La Reina🇺🇸Creole🇩🇴🇯🇲🇵🇷🇹🇹🇨🇺🇭🇹🇲🇽🇨🇴 (@LaReinaCreole) reported@ChristinaPushaw There are VERY few Americans who work on Disney cruise ships. That was my observation during the last Disney cruise I was on 😳
-
Unknown Slayer (@browntownxpres) reported@ShitpostRock2 Why all this hate directed at Rian when he wasnt in charge of Disney Star Wars or even the movie he was hired to make? Yes he makes AWFUL **** movies normally but he wasnt the boss at Disney Star Wars allowing him to make anything in the first place. That was Kathleen Kennedy...
-
Nanna Whammy (@NannaWhammy) reported@0hour1 @Brent35326403 Much worse! When will Disney **** work be shut down?
-
cHaOtiCaLLy Rude (@Deepthough700) reportedMost women are not Disney love blind too they just want you to help out and stop being an *******
-
node (@nodehyena) reportedDesign for the new Star Fox looks awful. I'm like even wondering if the design was run through AI. DIsney live remake sort of vibe? Something feels soulless about it. People kind of split on it.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@RyanJacobBall @remarks Yes, the 28 crew members (including the 3 from Disney Magic) were on U.S. work visas, which CBP canceled before removing them from the country. Reports indicate 26 were from the Philippines, 1 from Portugal, and 1 from Indonesia. This was part of the April 23-25, 2026 operation.

CSharpDad (@CSharpDad) reported@1LikeCheese @afsilves @the_swap_shop1 I need to work on my sarcasm.. I re-read my post and it just sounds like I liked that she died.. but I meant was that Disney used her as a sacrificial lamb to do something that should be impossible because it breaks so many things.. and I wanted to point it out as an unlikable galaxy breaking thing.. ugh. Communication is hard.
-
Scott To Say (@Scotttobud) reported@JackPosobiec @ginacarano @MarkHamill Does he still work for Disney? Doing what?
-
“Krazy Joe” (@krazyjoe) reported@therennerd NAH. Disney and Kathleen Kennedy have made more good, high quality Star Wars than Lucas ever did.
-
BridgetteLucille (@BridgetteLucy83) reportedThis idiot is concerned about these sickos losing their jobs and being thrown off our soil, and not with sick stuff being done to children. It's Constant with people who work for @Disney don't give them a penny of your money. I don't care if your kids want to go, watch, or anything Disney. Say NO like a responsible parent, as my mother taught me.
-
Chuck Hollis (@KeyboardChuck) reported@ChristinaPushaw Disney has had this problem since the beginning. Not blaming them, the same happens in almost every child-focused organization. Reprehensible human conduct.
-
Mark Gorrow (@MARK_AND_MOVIES) reportedDisney buying Fox was understandably seen as a bad thing, but Paramount buying WB will escalate the problem. Art is too big to be this limited to a few studios.
-
CowpokeU🤠🏴☠️ (@cowpoke_u) reported@CSOonX I'll reiterate the already mentioned problem but Disney.
-
Proxima Centauri (@NOYK1847) reported@orionproxima I know the answer. Because it was the first of the trilogy and we had hoped Disney knew what they were doing and would fix the story. TFA lost me with the even bigger Death Star but I assumed that TFA was a bridge between the old and new. I gave Abrams too much credit. This was right before The Dark Age of Hollywood. We still believed Hollywood was still capable of making good movies.
-
Eli Gaultney (@eligaultney) reported@emilykmay @Aella_Girl Yeah absolutely, that's what I've seen. I have one friend in mind in particular who is obsessed with Disney and Taylor Swift and embodies Aella's sentiment here. She has clearly totally given up because she's not that hot and stands zero chance of landing the diamond in the rough. But she's actually really cool and smart (lawyer!) and if she just lowered her standards her quality of life would be so much better. Just my guess, of course.
-
Nate Houstman (@Panthercr02) reportedI can't remember if it was before or after I saw The Last Jedi, but I looked at the Disney logo, and the "D" didn't look like a backwards "G" anymore. I knew then the spell was broken.
-
Matthew (@MattLovesVinyl) reported@Bedhead_Teddy @TheNicholasWolf You obviously don't understand how basic economics work. TLJ didn't make Disney $1.4B. The movie's net profit was likely closer to $200M after production, marketing, and distributor costs were figured. And now no one watches it. So it sits on their servers COSTING them money.
-
L. Of Borg (@LocutosAwakened) reported@OpossumsVa @AwakenedOutlaw I think Disney would have to pay A LOT more to lower level staff to make the rigorous background checks worth it. Otherwise they’d be understaffed. Think about it, why would anyone be ok with invasive screening just to get hired to be a janitor, line cook, etc? Folks would just not apply there and work somewhere else for the same pay. Disney would have to make the benefits outweigh the inconvenience. If they already do background checks they probably are just very basic.

Christina Pushaw 🐊 🇺🇸 (@ChristinaPushaw) reportedDisgusting. Of course p3d0s would want to work on a Disney cruise ship where hundreds of kids are running around and parents have their guard down. You can never be too careful
-
BearBeardWiskers (@BearBeardWisker) reported@BuzzPatterson @Disney They work where there are children
-
The Squirrel Whisperer (@RogerTodger4) reported@libsoftiktok @ACLU "Ooen to work". He should apply to @Disney .
-
3freel (@3freel) reportedSame person who said they’d never work for Disney again. Bank account must be hurting to throw away your morals.
-
The Oz Director (@TheOzDirector) reported@The_Epic_Mike Maybe we should go. Then Disney will be confused and make more terrible movies and eventually go bankrupt. Then somebody else will buy Lucas Film. And they'll make great Star Wars films again. Bleh this all sounds like too much effort. Let's just do your thing.
-
JesusSavedMe (@SouthernSky25) reportedParents should worry not just about ships. Raid the resorts. If Lindsey Graham hangs out at Disney by himself - you KNOW there is an issue there!
-
Neha Singhel Trrader (@RhodaLevi2) reportedWhich subscriptions shouldn't you be paying for? [Last updated 2026] From best to worst... D (Still acceptable) • Spotify • Amazon Prime • YouTube Premium • Google One C (Average) • Netflix • HBO Max • Disney+ • Apple Music B (Cheat) ↓↓

Lesya Element ( Olesya Element) (@lesya_element) reportedIgnorance of the law is no excuse. I ask you to take action against the Walt Disney Company for violating my copyright. The company has made two films based on my works, using my characters, special effects, and copyrighted work for their own purposes.
