Disney Pulls Corporate Timeline From Its Website Without Explanation

Observers see the quiet deletion as an effort to minimize Bob Chapek’s turbulent 2020–2022 tenure.

Overview

  • The long-running page had chronicled company milestones from 1923 to recent years, including entries from Bob Chapek’s time as CEO.
  • Visitors who navigate to the timeline’s former web address now encounter error messages instead of historical content.
  • The company has issued no statement indicating whether the page will return, be revised, or remain offline.
  • Coverage ties the removal to efforts to distance Disney from Chapek, who was ousted and replaced by Bob Iger in November 2022.
  • Chapek’s tenure drew criticism over park pricing and policy changes, a political confrontation with Florida’s governor, and a content strategy that Iger later rolled back.
