We’re keeping up with the Disney Shareholder’s Meeting today and there has been a LOT of Disney updates!
We’ve got an opening date for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, more information on the reopening of Disneyland Resort, and even an update on Disney+ subscribers (oh, and more too!). And, as Disney rolls out new rides and attractions in the theme park, they’re also thinking about the environment.
During the call, Disney shared that they will be adding more solar fields in Orlando to support the operations at Disney World. More solar panels will lead Disney World to function on only 50% of electricity, leaving a smaller environmental footprint.
Solar energy isn’t new for Walt Disney World. Currently, there is a 270-acre field in Orlando with 50-megawatt solar panels that are being used to power the property and Disney has even installed solar panels on the roof of their upcoming ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to help provide power to the attraction.
Ultimately, the Disney Company hopes to continue innovating and leading the way in renewable energy and environmental responsibility. Stay tuned for more Disney news and updates!

Solar panels on the roof of, what used to be the Universe of Energy pavilion, are nothing new. They were there right from the opening in 1982. The building itself is designed at an angle, facing south to catch as much solar energy as possible.
