Shares of Walt Disney (DIS 1.83%) are failing to keep up with the market for the fourth time in the last five years. The company still has another seven months to turn things around. What will it take to get back on track? This should be a big month for Disney. It has two big movies opening this month. There's an important financial update coming in a few days. A rival is opening the first major theme park in this country since 1999. There's a lot to unpack here, so let's start at the top.

I went to Comcast's (CMCSA 1.49%) new Epic Universe theme park this past weekend. It's a glorious celebration of next-gen ride technology, at least for the three flagship rides. There's a jaw-dropping eye for detail everywhere else. Through three days of previews, I got a taste of what will make the highly anticipated destination a major addition to the Central Florida tourism landscape. I also saw the flaws that will hopefully be addressed before the park officially opens to a wider audience.

Like a limited series on a streaming service, it seems as if Roku (ROKU -2.25%) can't hold investor attention for long. Shares of the company behind the leading operating system for streaming TV soared to a fresh 52-week high after posting blowout financial results in mid-February. The stock has gone on to shed more than a third of its value since that short-lived peak. The stage could be set for a repeat performance when it reports its first-quarter results after market close on Thursday.

Cathie Wood's investing style is bouncing back into fancy. The co-founder, CEO, and investment manager of Ark Invest is winning again. Her most popular exchange-traded fund has risen 6% over the past month, a welcome contrast to the flat overall market in that time. Her 14% return over the past year may not seem all that impressive, but it's comfortably ahead of the market. Wood was busier than usual on the trading floor on Tuesday.

Special things can happen when sleepy stocks start to wake up. Looking back the past few years, there may not seem to be a lot that's interesting when it comes to Coca-Cola (KO -0.77%), Disney (DIS 0.22%), and Verizon (VZ -2.11%). They're all names that most investors and consumers know, but they have a long history of slow growth. The three stocks make up 10% of the names in the Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI 0.05%).

How "Disney World old" are you? I'm Disney World old enough to have been to River Country as a kid.
Epic Universe is great in so many ways, but after spending 3 days there, I see at least 7 fatal flaws that it will have to fix before it becomes the exclusive, big-ticket Discovery Cove of the theme park space. It starts with the Virtual Line fiasco. https://t.co/HlPIHu7WzS
