‘Disgusted' Disney World fans fume that execs are ‘wiping out' park's original spirit as Rivers of America attraction closes down: ‘Canceling my trip'
They're sad about the happiest place on Earth. Disney World fans are fuming after the theme park announced the closure of three of its most iconic attractions: Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat. The beloved destinations are set to shutter on July 7 to make way for Piston Peak National Park— a new attraction based on the Disney and Pixar 'Cars' universe. 3 The riverboat Liberty Belle sailing on the Rivers of America passes Tom Sawyer Island at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. TNS 3 Disney World, which has been in operation since 1971, is pictured. AP 'Imagine an awe-inspiring wilderness filled with towering trees, snowcapped mountains, breathtaking waterfalls, roaring rivers and impressive geysers,' the Disney Parks Blog enthused in a post promoting Piston Peak. 'While fictional, Piston Peak is inspired by the Rocky Mountain area and the history and iconic sights of the American Frontier and its national parks.' However, many Disney World visitors are dismayed that the new park will be constructed ot the expense of the other three attractions — all of which have been open to the public for decades. 'Canceling my trip in October and sadly, will never visit that park again,' one mourned. 'I am heartbroken at the loss of Tom Sawyer Island,' a Disney detractor declared on X. 'This is the WORST decision ever.' 'Walt's Rivers of America transports you to something ideal in American values of exploration, adventure, history, and scenery. A true park within a park,' an additional fan fawned. 'This is a HUGE mistake from Disney. Cartoon Cars will never last the test of time.' 3 However, other Disney lovers were far more upbeat about the upcoming changes, saying plans for Piston Peak appeared promising. A drawing of the future attraction is pictured. Wandering In Disney: A Disney Theme Parks Blog 'More wiping out of the Walt Disney era,' another spluttered. 'I'm disgusted with current leadership of Disney Corp. I'm done with them. Still love classic Disney, but I've lost all interest in anything about current 'Disney' (parks , movies, streaming). They are not part of my world anymore.' However, other Disney lovers were far more upbeat about the upcoming changes, saying plans for Piston Peak appeared promising. 'I showed this to my 10-year-old and he SQUEALED with joy and shouted 'PISTON PEAK?!' I'm thrilled that new generations are getting spaces in the parks that speak to them. Almost forgot this is the whole point,' one Disney defender posted on X in light of the news. 'Thanks for your insight,' one reader responded. 'I'm so tired of the negativity around this upgrade of the space. 'I like that they're incorporating the river & adding new water features to keep the same vibe,' another wrote on Facebook DW News Today shared the news.

Meghan Markle Shares Pics of Archie and Lilibet Experiencing 'Pure Joy' at Disneyland
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appeared to enjoy Disneyland almost as much as their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in a Reel posted to Instagram by the Duchess of Sussex on Friday. 'Thank you @disneyland for giving our family two days of pure joy!' Meghan wrote in the caption of the adorable montage of the family's adventures. The whole group was at the amusement park for Lilibet's fourth birthday. Playing to Peggy Lee's song 'It's A Good Day,' the first clip showed a nervous Lilibet holding her mom's hand as she approached her hero, Elsa from Frozen. Lili was also gifted a Little Mermaid-themed birthday cake reading 'Happy Birthday Lili,' making it a day of Disney princesses for the royal one. The group could then be seen on various rides, including Tiana's Bayou Adventure, Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters, Space Mountain, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, and the King Arthur Carousel. Meghan shared a clip of just herself and Harry on the more demanding Rise of the Resistance, laughing and screaming together as they came down on the roller coaster. In a group shot, Meghan covered her kids' faces, but showed off her Minnie Mouse ears. Harry was kneeling by the two children and has his arm around Archie. Lili is barefoot and wearing a white dress covered in a colorful graphic bow pattern. Before the Disney party, Meghan celebrated Lili's fourth birthday with never-before-seen footage from the delivery room taken just ahead of her daughter's birth. In the clips, she and Harry are dancing together to help induce labor, because both Lili and Archie arrived past their due dates. 'Four years ago today, this also happened,' she wrote in the caption. 'Both of our children were a week past their due dates. So when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work—there was only one thing left to do! 😂.'

Nightmare Unfolds As Dogsitter Tries To Put Puppy to Bed: 'Help Me'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman who agreed to look after her sister's puppy never expected how chaotic the night would become. Roberta Burton, 56 and from Nottinghamshire in the U.K., recently spent time at her sister's home in Surrey after agreeing to look after her home and Maltipoo puppy, Paddy, while she was away. "Paddy has lots of energy," Burton told Newsweek of the 6-month-old pup. "When I say a lot of energy, I mean the zoomie type." "At 11 o'clock at night, I was absolutely shattered, and said, 'Right, Paddy, it's time for bed'," Burton added. "It had been a long day. But Paddy had other ideas; he thought it was play time, and thought it was a game." Zoomies, also known as the frenetic random activity period, is a way for dogs to release excess energy, and often happens at night, according to the American Kennel Club. It is completely normal behavior, particularly for puppies, who take plenty of naps throughout the day along with huge bursts of activity—which, unfortunately for Burton, happened to Paddy when she was trying to go to bed herself. In a video to her TikTok account @burtysblog on June 2, viewed over 413,000 times, Burton pleads with Paddy to get into bed. But the pup clearly isn't ready, as he's sprinting all around the room, jumping on the sofa and flying off again, so fast he comes across in the video as almost a blur. "As I tried to pick him up to put him in, he jumped over my hands," Burton told Newsweek, "jumping over me, under me, on top of me." Roberta Burton tries to catch Paddy, left, who sprints around the room through her arms and legs, right.

TikTok @burtysblog Burton tries her best to catch the pup, but it just adds to Paddy's fun, as he expertly dodges out of her grasp and in between her legs—even as she tries throwing a blanket over him to trap him. Burton resorts to getting on her knees and begging Paddy to relax and go to bed. At one point, Burton lies across a footrest in despair. And, adding insult to injury, Paddy then lies on the footrest beside her—only to sprint away again when she raises her head, leading Burton to plead: "Help me, Jesus." In the end, Burton gives up, and sits quietly on the floor trying to calm herself—and Paddy then jumps on her repeatedly, trying to get the game going again. "I'm not playing," Burton tells him, refusing at this point to even look at him. And in response, he gives out a high-pitched bark. The video ends with the battle finally won, as Burton approaches the camera with a finally tired-out Paddy in her arms. And she told Newsweek that it was all thanks to her 84-year-old father, who had been in the next room. Her dad walked in, said, "Don't be so dramatic," called Paddy a good boy, and had him in his crate asleep almost immediately. Left, Burton despairs as Paddy waits for the game to begin again, and right, the moment she captured the pup.

TikTok @burtysblog TikTok users were in stitches, with one commenting: "In the dog's defense, it does look like a really fun game." "This had me crying with laughter, I can't stop watching it," another posted, as a third wrote: "When I say I laughed I LAUGHED. Your sister owes you a spa weekend for this!" And one comment read: "I've watched this about 10 times, possibly the funniest thing on here." Burton told Newsweek her sister was also "crying with laughter" when she saw the video of Paddy's "shenanigans"—and told Burton, "Next time, give him cheese." "Why didn't you tell me that before?" Burton asked, awarding the pup the ultimate nickname: Paddy the baddie. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
