Did you know he turned the page over to someone else?

Sorry, I don’t quite understand what this means. He isn’t the one posting on FB?

Nope. There was a post about it a few weeks ago on that page. I think it's run by a female travel agent now, but that's just based on my memory of the fb post.

Thanks for letting me know. I will take those rumours with a grain of salt now as previously he had gained my trust as being someone who only posted information that he had good information to substantiate.

I found the post again, from Feb 25, so it's still there if you want to read it.

Now back to our regular programming...

On Feb 25 this was posted on the fb page. There is more to the post but if you want to read it it is dated Feb 25 of this year.

Hello Everyone,
As you might have noticed, this page has been pretty quiet for several months. The previous owner of this page decided to move on and I wish him all of the luck in the world in his new endeavors.

Being the kind person that he is, he offered to allow me to take over his page so that you could all continue to enjoy Orlando related news, tips, and the wonderful community that you have all come to enjoy. I will be posting fun stuff on a regular basis so stay tuned!

Can we just come out and say who’s page this is? I’d like to make sure it isn’t one of the pages I follow without having to scroll to Feb 25 on all of them.

Definitely sad to hear about this. Mizner’s lounge was always a good place to enjoy a well made drink and listen to the band. It served as an escape from the gimmicky overpriced souvenir cups, light up iced cubes, sugary drinks and the hubbub that comes along with all that. Dont get me wrong, I enjoy those things too, like at Trader Sams. Just nice to have a low key alternative. Though I think I’m in the minority in my opinion.
Also on a side note, Mizner’s was always my dad’s favorite place to visit for a drink, so maybe a little sentimental.

If you need a new low key relaxed lounge, Territory Lounge at WL is pretty mellow and laid back...or at least it was. Haven't been since character dining opened at Artist Point. I hear Geyser Point is nice too... looking forward to trying it in June.

Second this. Also haven't been since Storybook opened. Smallish space so few tables. Maybe go early or late to miss the traditional cocktail before dinner crowd. Known for good small dishes since (old) Artist Point kitchen sourced.

Yeah, we would go mid afternoon or at like 8:30 or later. It was pretty busy on weekends, but during the week it was nice.

Whisperer's Guide to Orlando or something like that.

No exact details yet but just read first rumour that a refurbishment to Cinderella’s Castle may begin as early as next month in preparation for MKs 50th Anniversary.

Refurbing what? Changing the outside? The inside?

I takes a long time to turn the castle into a giant birthday cake.......

Please don't even joke about that...

Pepto-Castle. Saw it in person, never want to see it again.

If I remember correctly this was Joe Black’s facepage @black562 here on the DIS. He used to predict every release of Disney discounts (free dining, stay play dine, etc - he always was spot on). He was a great resource, hasn’t posted on the DIS for a year though.

Maybe they'll put a big painted scrim around it like the one in DL!

Not to bother anyone, but is there a thread on this site discussing places to live around Disneyworld? Looking to relocate from NY in few years and work for the Mouse. Please include link if so.

There is not, but there is a Facebook group based around the Moving to the Magic Podcast that the DIS Unplugged does. I recommend watching one of those podcasts to get info about where to find the group.

 

[ksromack]

ok, gotta admit, the Dumbo sipper and Casey Jr popcorn bucket are pretty darn cute

View attachment 391425

No coincidence at all....they match! have to have both! And can't have them both without the Dumbo Magic band....

Hope they both make it to WDW by our trip in four weeks.

Um, yeah......both would be needed but I'm trying to figure out if I really need this item. Hm.....I think I do.

NEWS

Registration is open of the latest RunDisney virtual series and medals have been released ... it's Marvel themed!

https://www.wdwinfo.com/recreation/disney-world-marathons.htm#virtual

I already signed up for the first two.....

We saw Dumbo last night and I have to agree, it wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Out of five stars we'd give it three. Without giving anything away for those who plan to see it, I will say after the movie ends you can leave. There is nothing else to watch after the credits.

I'm seeing it on sunday with my dd. Already bought our tickets and chosen our seats!

Orange bird sippers are back at EPCOT

https://twitter.com/disneyfoodblog/status/1111715569143812101?s=21

They are still there on Tuesday.

I definitely need one of these. I hope they hang around a bit longer (like 45 days longer).

I saw someone mention that on Facebook thatba CM told them but couldn’t find any explicit source .... that would be quite the refurb if starting already

Well, I imagine it'll take some time to make it into a birthday cake. I wish I could find my pictures from the last time. We were there in person.
