Waystar Royco, the powerful media conglomerate of HBO's "Succession," led by the late, great Logan Roy, has always resembled Fox News with its conservative corporate leanings and bombastic news channel, ATN, and its behind-the-scenes family dynasty drama. But in the most recent episode, it was all Disney.
In the episode, the sixth one of the final season, titled "Living +," the surviving Roys launch a product to a meeting of their investors. It's a "land cruise" experience, a planned community with all the perks, an emphasis on staying young and more than a passing resemblance to Celebration, the Florida master-planned community developed by the Walt Disney Company in the 1990s. A suburb of Orlando, Celebration was meant to be an extension of EPCOT, expanding Walt Disney's vision of an Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, and giving the people what they wanted: a way to never die.
