At Disney, we know that a wish can be so much more than a single moment – it can stay with a family for a lifetime. For Eadie, Lucy and James - a family from South East England - that journey began years ago when, during a difficult time, Eadie made a wish to experience ‘Frozen’ live on stage in London. This became a magical turning point, inspiring resilience and hope that the family still carries with them today✨ Last month, they returned to Arendelle - this time at Disney Adventure World, Disneyland Paris - and were among the first families invited to experience the grand opening of World of Frozen. A true full circle moment that gave them the space to simply experience joy and togetherness. For more than 45 years, we’ve seen how a wish can be so much more than a single moment. With more than 175,000 wishes granted globally, Disney and Make-A-Wish International continue to show the incredible, lasting impact of imagination and storytelling💫 🎥 Watch the heart‑warming video below, which also includes the experience of a Wish family from Norway. #DisneyWeekOfWishes #MakeAWish #DisneyUKI #DisneyMomentsThatMatter Make-A-Wish® UK

📼 ⏪Back to the ‘80s, power lunch style😎   The world of Rivals is steeped in big personalities, bold flavours and unmistakable 1980s excess.   So to celebrate the launch of season two, we've teamed up with Waitrose & Partners to bring back the 80s power lunch, with a food range rolling out in stores from 27 April - featuring classic flavours, ‘nosh-talgic’ design, and unapologetic indulgence🍸🥪🍨     Fans watching the new season will also be able to spot an authentically recreated 80s Waitrose store on screen, forming the backdrop to a key moment in the story 📺   Congratulations to the production team, Disney+ and Disney Advertising for bringing this campaign to life - which includes the very first brand integration for a scripted Hulu Original on Disney+ in the UK.

👠 A red carpet for a premiere? Groundbreaking. Twenty years on, ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ strutted into London last night for the final stop of its global tour.  Attended by the cast, including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Stanley Tucci, Kenneth Branagh, Simone Ashley and Caleb Hearon, the premiere at Leicester Square delivered fashion‑first moments straight off the pages of Runway itself. In true ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ style, the official afterparty, ‘A Night with Runway’ took over The National Gallery, where the iconic staircase was transformed into a red carpet for guests including Donatella Versace, Amelia Dimoldenberg, Calum Harper, Alex Scott, Vanessa Williams and Jess Glynne. 📸 Get a sneak peek at the night in the video below. #TheDevilWearsPrada2 #DisneyUKI 

When we get conservation right, we’re able to see and experience the natural world in ways we never thought possible. That’s what Bertie Gregory discovered while filming the largest gathering of fin whales – a species so rarely seen that moments like this are incredibly rare.  Reflecting on what he witnessed, Bertie said: “It was one of the greatest gatherings of wildlife I think I’ll ever see.” Step into wonder with National Geographic’s Earth Month collection and stream Epic Adventures with Bertie Gregory on Disney+. 💚 #EarthMonth #NationalGeographic #StepIntoWonder 

We recently welcomed Olympic gold medallist Lizzy Yarnold to our London office as part of our Career & Experience Day for Cast Members.   Lizzy joined us for a special session hosted by Deborah Armstrong, sharing honest reflections on building a ‘squiggly’ career and the setbacks, challenges and learning moments behind her success.   From being brave in your own voice to breaking big challenges into smaller, doable steps, the session was all about momentum. Lizzy spoke about staying focused, tuning out distractions, and giving yourself permission to try something new, showing how trust, curiosity and a bit of courage can help you find your flow and lead to some genuinely exhilarating outcomes.🏅   Huge thanks to Lizzy for such an inspiring conversation, and to the Cast Members who helped bring the overall event to life.🚀   #CareerDevelopment #DisneyUKI
