Studios Are Offering Free Screenplays And ‘Art Of’ Books For Their Oscar Contenders
PDFs of the screenplays and “Art Of” books have been released online — for free — for Disney’s Encanto and Raya and the Last Dragon, Disney/Pixar’s Luca, and Netflix/Sony’s The Mitchells vs. the Machines. These are the four highest-profile Hollywood animated films of the year, and all are very likely to get an Oscar nod.

Did I hear correctly that they changed the voice for Buzz in the new Lightyear movie?

New “Kids” on the Block at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Baby Nigerian dwarf goats have joined the herd at Disney’s Animal Kingdom as the latest baby animals available to see on the Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction!

I saw these last week and they were super cute!

Folks can't remember a color 80 seconds later?

I have to admit that I blanked last week (2 kids, single parent, trying to keep up). lol

Operating hours increased around President's Day at Walt Disney World theme parks

At Magic Kingdom, the park will now close at 10pm from February 20 through February 26, for a total of two additional hours per day.

Over at Disney's Animal Kingdom, hours have been extended in the morning and evening, with the park opening at 8am and closing at 8pm. The original hours were 9am to 7pm.

Finally, at EPCOT, February 20 and 21 will open an hour earlier than usual at 9am.

I haven't checked the shopping thread yet after being at WDW for a week last week - but they had just placed a really awesome Sam the Eagle pin behind the register (DHS, which I almost wrote as MGM, lol) for Presidents' Day 2022. I love(d) it so, so much (and if we hadn't happened to make it to this one register at the exact right time, we would've completely missed it as it was the last thing we did before leaving for the airport). I assume it's in the thread but in case it's not/you don't go there, here's a picture!

Well, Chris Evans is the movie character who inspired the toy. As I understand it, Lightyear is the movie in the Toy Story universe because Toy Story is set in a realistic version of the 90s.

I wonder why this keeps happening. Minor refurb without needing to close the ride maybe?
