The colors remind me of childhood in the '90s lol (in a good way).

Did Caring for Giants today. Stella recently turned 2 years old. She weighs roughly 1560 pounds and is starting to not drink her mother’s milk. She and the other female elephants were very active today.

Did you like this event or the rhino event better? *Revised* Never mind, saw your answer.

Space restaurant at EPCOT named Space 220 and 350 seats? I also heard the screens are 250' in length. Anyone confirm?

Given that they’ve extensively worked with their legal counsel and conducted their own investigation of the allegations against Lassiter, I would say they have.

Indeed. I'm sure Lassiter's contract has a bullet-proof Morals/Professional Conduct clause in it. If he does anything remotely shady, he's history.

New floats for Universals Mardi Gras

https://orlandoinformer.com/universal/mardi-gras/

The floats made for this year are really awesome, I got to see a few of them before they did final assembly and they look great, they are hands down better than any of the new floats being built for the New Orleans Mardi Gras parades.

Patina International Restaurant Group posted restaurant name and some info to recruit staff here:

https://en.internationalservices.fr/international-program-epcot-space-220-restaurant-c133.html

Reported by Disney Food Blog and Waltineers

Suggested they are going for an international space station theme so a cast of international waitstaff. Would mesh perfectly with Epcot's tech, future and multicultural themes.

One could speculate that the menu may reflect a variety of international dishes to tie in with an international space station. No concrete source though for that guess. Must be a hook other than dry astronaut ice cream.

Feels tortured to me (multiculturalism around the universe would obviously look like multiculturalism on earth — ok, sure, why not), but if the menu and atmosphere are solid I’m there.

Do we have a sense of where it fits in the quality / $$ spectrum yet?

Seems to me like maybe a recent tweet was the result of a hack — it seemed quite out of character.

That's curious. Wonder if it was actually him?

It was a verified account but struck me as having been hacked given a recent joke tweet. Not surprised it’s down for now.

It was a verified account so it was definitely from him or his office. It could have been someone who works for him and operates his account or something?
