Disney Stock Could Double: Return To Historical Performance
Disney Shows Bullish Strength Despite Neo-Nazi Protests From DeSantis Supporters: Bull, Bear Case
10:13 am ET June 13, 2023 (Benzinga) Print
Walt Disney Co (NYSE: DIS) was popping up about 0.8% in the premarket Tuesday following softer-than-expected consumer price index data, which gave investors hope the Federal Reserve will apply a pause when it issues its decision on interest rates Wednesday.
Despite having to battle Florida governor Ron DeSantis for over a year — and after his supporters protested Disney World’s Gay Days celebration over the weekend with neo-Nazi flags — the stock has been staging a rebound.
In the trading days following Disney’s May second-quarter earnings print on May 10, the stock fell 14% to reach a May 30 low of $87.01. Since then, Disney has rebounded about 7% and on Monday, the stock appeared to be breaking up from a bull flag pattern.
The bull flag pattern is created with a sharp rise higher forming the pole, which is then followed by a consolidation pattern that brings the stock lower between a channel with parallel lines or into a tightening triangle pattern.

DIS>Disney Honors 101-Year-Old World War II Female Navy Veteran

Dorothy "Pat" Rudd honored as "Veteran of the Day" during daily Flag Retreat ceremony in Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Disney honored World War II female U.S. Navy veteran Dorothy "Pat" Rudd as "Veteran of the Day" during the June 7th Flag Retreat ceremony in Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World. A pioneer and heroine, Pat volunteered and joined the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES) program to perform shore-based duties for the U.S. Navy after U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Public Law 689 in 1942.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (June 7, 2023) – World War II and U.S. Navy veteran, Dorothy “Pat” Rudd, visits Country Bear Jamboree in Frontierland at Magic Kingdom Theme Park at Walt Disney World Resort. Pat’s late husband and U.S. Navy veteran, Gerald Rudd, helped with the construction of Frontierland prior to the park opening on Oct. 1, 1971. (Photo credit: Disney)
The law established the Women's Reserve as a branch of the Naval Reserve and authorized women to serve in the U.S. Navy for the duration of the war, plus six months. Stationed in Washington, DC, Pat became one of the first 200 WAVES to be deployed overseas – in her case, to the then Territory of Hawai'i. There, she served as an educator, teaching service members how to read and write and helped in the hospital attending the wounded.
Pat met her husband, Gerald, at Pearl Harbor, who was active-duty Navy himself and were married for 71 years. Prior to participating in the Flag Retreat ceremony, Pat visited Frontierland in Magic Kingdom, which her late husband helped bring to reality. Gerald was part of the construction team that built the structures in this area of the theme park, as well as parts of EPCOT and the original resort hotels of Walt Disney World.
"I was really happy the buildings he helped build in Frontierland are still there," said Rudd. "I'm proud of him and that his work has brought so much joy to so many people here at Disney."
Honoring Pat during the day's events were members of Disney SALUTE, a veteran employee resource group, including Susan Finnigan, Lead Project Manager for Disney marketing and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.
"Pat's unwavering spirit and commitment to duty are an inspiration to fellow servicewomen," said Finnigan. "It was an honor to be able to join my fellow veterans here at Disney to help celebrate a trailblazer and hero like Pat."
On June 12, 1948, three years after the end of World War II and Rudd's naval service, President Harry S. Truman signed the Women's Armed Services Integration Act into law, officially opening the door for women to serve as full, permanent members of all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces. The day is recognized annually as Women Veterans Day.
Disney has long honored those who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces throughout the 100-year history of The Walt Disney Company. That tradition continues today with events like the daily Flag Retreat ceremony at Magic Kingdom, where an active-duty military member or veteran is selected from the park's daily visitors to be honored.
Disney is honored to offer a heartfelt tribute to the unsung female military heroes of the past and all those who continue to serve today.

DISNEY PUBLISHED THIS AFTER THE CDC'S LATEST MONKEYPOX WARNING::
Monkeypox and Disney World: What You Need to Know
You might be wondering just what monkeypox is, whether it’s present in Florida, and what the current situation with this virus is. Knowing those things could help you prepare for your next Disney World trip. We’ve already shared a look at what experts are saying about monkeypox, but now we’re giving you a complete look at the situation and all the latest updates. Let’s take a look at what is known so far.
Monkeypox Symptoms
So what symptoms should you look for when it comes to monkeypox? This is what the CDC lists:
* Fever
* Headache
* Muscle aches and backache
* Swollen lymph nodes
* Chills
* Exhaustion
* Respiratory symptoms (e.g. sore throat, nasal congestion, or cough)
* A rash (which might be located near the individual’s private parts or other places like * hands, feet, chest, face, or mouth)
* The rash will go through several stages, including scabs, before healing.
* The rash can look like pimples or blisters and may be painful or itchy.
The CDC notes that an individual might experience all of the above-listed symptoms, or they might only experience some. Still, they note that most people who do develop monkeypox will get some kind of rash, so that’s an important thing to be on the lookout for.
Symptoms tend to start within 3 weeks of exposure, and if a person has flu-like symptoms they may develop a rash about 1-4 days later. According to the CDC, infections with this type of monkeypox virus are RARELY fatal. “However, people with weakened immune systems, children under 8 years of age, people with a history of eczema, and people who are pregnant or breastfeeding may be more likely to get seriously ill or die.”

More:Here's everything new coming to Max in June 2023
There's also James Cameron's blockbuster sci-fi sequel "Avatar: The Way of Water" (June 7, also on Disney+), and even more Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) shows from HGTV, Food Network, TLC, etc., migrating over from Discovery+ post-merger.
Who's Max for? HBO fans and movie lovers. And now, unscripted-TV fans too, with a slew of Discovery+ shows.
Play, pause or stop? Pause and think it over. "The Idol" aside, there look to be some good shows on the way. But at that price, you kinda want some great shows.
