As you may have heard, Disney operates a parks business, a direct-to-consumer sports service and a line of family cruises. You want to see Johnson’s smirking face on the Jungle Cruise ride then stop off for a Dole Whip infused with Teremana tequila?

Seven Bucks has been studio agnostic for the majority of its 12 year run but has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Disney. Highlights include the previously mentioned film adaptation of
“Jungle Cruise” starring Johnson and Emily Blunt, and two seasons of “Behind the Attraction” for Disney+.

In November, Johnson will reprise his role as demigod Maui in “Moana 2,” the sequel to the Oscar-nominated 2016 animated film. The latest trailer for the film broke all previous records for Disney animation trailers when it amassed 178 million views in just 24 hours. A live action version of “Moana” is set for a summer 2026 release.

Disney’s ESPN is also a broadcast partner for the UFL, the pro football league owned in part by Johnson, Garcia, and Gerry Cardinale’s RedBird Capital Partners.
