Previously unreleased photographs show Jeffrey Epstein holding a young girl who had fallen asleep on his private jet after a 2004 trip to Disney World. The pictures, which remained hidden for years, unsettled the girl's father once he became aware of them, raising concerns about Epstein's frequent and often unmonitored access to minors. The images highlight how he repeatedly placed himself in situations that blurred the boundaries between acceptable behavior and troubling conduct.While the photographs themselves don't directly prove criminal activity, they fit into the broader context of longstanding allegations against Epstein and illustrate the pattern of questionable associations that surrounded him. Their delayed emergence also raises questions about why such material was kept out of sight for so long, contributing to the perception that evidence tied to Epstein was often buried or ignored rather than confronted openly.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

En la edición de hoy de Radar Empresarial, abordamos la última primicia de Reuters sobre Pop Mart. Wang Ning, CEO y COO de la empresa creadora de los populares muñecos Labubu, ha revelado que su ambición es construir un imperio mediático en torno a esta figura, siguiendo los pasos de Disney. “Llevamos mucho tiempo estudiando el modelo Disney. Su verdadero valor radica en saber gestionar su propiedad intelectual durante décadas, incluso más de un siglo”, explicó Wang. En esa línea, Pop Mart planea expandir su universo creativo con nuevas producciones audiovisuales y hasta parques temáticos, al estilo de Disney World. Lejos de centrarse únicamente en repetir el éxito de Labubu, el objetivo de la empresa es diversificar sus colaboraciones y mejorar la experiencia en sus tiendas físicas. 2025 ha sido un año excepcional para Pop Mart: sus acciones han subido más de un 200 %, superando en valor de mercado a gigantes como Hasbro y Mattel. En solo el primer trimestre, la empresa logró ingresos por 1.910 millones de dólares, superando por mucho todo lo facturado en 2024. Además, Wang declaró en agosto que esperan alcanzar los 4.000 millones en ventas antes de que finalice el año, impulsados en parte por su expansión en Estados Unidos, donde ya cuentan con 40 tiendas. A pesar del fuerte crecimiento, comienzan a surgir dudas sobre una posible burbuja. En el último mes, las acciones han caído un 16 %, principalmente por la desaceleración de la demanda en el mercado chino. Otro factor preocupante ha sido el fenómeno de la reventa, donde algunos especuladores están vendiendo a la baja por temor a una caída mayor. Desde la empresa, sin embargo, aseguran que esta situación era previsible. En un comunicado a CNBC, informaron que han triplicado su producción anual: de 10 millones de unidades en 2024 a más de 30 millones este año. Aunque su mirada está puesta en nuevos mercados y formatos, Pop Mart no olvida sus raíces. Recientemente, Wang anunció el lanzamiento de una versión mini de Labubu. Desde su fundación en 2010, cuando Wang convenció a sus amigos universitarios de fabricar juguetes coleccionables, la marca ha crecido hasta convertirse en un fenómeno global. Su éxito también se ha visto amplificado por el formato de “caja sorpresa” y por celebridades como Rihanna, Dua Lipa o Kim Kardashian, que han ayudado a viralizar la marca, al igual que ocurrió con los famosos Sonny Angel.

Disney parks are famous for their immersive lands—from dining inside Beast's Castle in Fantasyland to soaring on the back of a Banshee in Pandora. Each land transports you to a completely different world.

Send us a textHave you ever noticed how certain coworkers remind you of specific Disney rides? That's exactly what we explore in this episode while sipping on our homemade version of Jazz Kitchen's French 75 cocktail from Downtown Disney.The comparison starts with a bang as we match Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout to that coworker with unpredictable energy who keeps everyone on their toes but somehow makes the workplace more enjoyable with their great music choices. Then there's the lovable but dim "Mater" of your office - the person you assign menial tasks to because they're just not cut out for the important stuff.We tackle twenty different ride-to-coworker comparisons across both Disneyland and California Adventure, from the always-injured colleague (Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) to the workplace drama queen (Fantasmic!). Our personal favorite might be Small World representing that person who can't stop talking about work during break time - truly "always a punishment, never a pleasure."The episodes take hilarious turns as we discuss the perpetually late Pirates of the Caribbean personality, the dependable but overlooked Golden Zephyr employees, and the adventure-seeking Indiana Jones types who are always climbing mountains or hunting lions "with chopsticks" on their days off.Whether you're a Disney Parks enthusiast or simply someone who's had to navigate workplace personalities, you'll find yourself nodding along and laughing as you recognize these character types from your own professional life. Listen in and discover which Disney ride matches your workplace personality!Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Many tours include exclusive dining experiences, professional photography, and unique vantage points impossible to access during a regular park visit.

Episode 65: Show Notes Today on the show, we welcome Justin Vacula, who takes us through an introduction to a master's in maximizing gambling opportunities from a points and miles perspective. Justin is an accomplished travel ‘hacker' and host of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast, among other achievements. In our conversation today, we delve into the cross between miles, points, and gambling, unpack the advantages of using casino cards, when it's a good time to sign up for these cards, and dive into a discussion on how Caesar's credit cards stack up against MGM cards. Justin breaks down all things Vegas, what you need to know about the ground truth, how Vegas is like Disney World for adults, why he doesn't interact with minibars, and why there will ultimately be some work involved to maximize your trip. He gives insights into his phone army and how to play different games on different phones to get points. We also hear about his contributions to various travel-related conferences, how to prepare for Zorkfest, why Dave Ramsey is not accurate for everyone, and why he strives to educate people to make informed choices about the positives and negatives of loyalty programs.

The Cake Bake Shop and GEO-82 are two new dining experiences in the EPCOT Resort Area, both opening in 2025. The Cake Bake Shop is a family-owned small business run by Gwendolyn Rogers at Disney's BoardWalk, featuring breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner at the main restaurant and baked goods at the adjacent bakery. GEO-82 is the newest adult-exclusive lounge at EPCOT (all guests must be 21 or older to enter this venue) located in the Spaceship Earth pavilion, serving cocktails and small plates immersing guests in the flavors, views, and legacy that shape modern-day EPCOT.   In this episode, I share my honest reviews of both The Cake Bake Shop and GEO-82 after my first time dining at each location in Walt Disney World.
