As Walt Disney World gears up for a busy July 4th holiday week and weekend, we noticed new barriers installed around the security at Magic Kingdom. In an announcement today, June 29, Comcast said it will spin off both NBCUniversal, along with it’s theme parks and its European media company Sky.

All this and more in today’s daily recap for Monday, June 29, 2026.
