I'm working on a largely positive review of SeaWorld's 2018 Christmas Celebration. SeaWorld still has some legit issues to still work on/through but many many people in Central Florida underestimate the quality of their seasonal fests. This one is probably their best.

Wow! Sounds just like Lin-Manuel Miranda in the "Mary Poppins" trailers!

That description jives nicely with what Disney told us late this afternoon: that the scooter did not cause the door to come off of its hinges.

Disney Announces Plans to Build Nature-Inspired Mixed-Use Resort on Bay Lake https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/disney-announces-plans-to-build-nature-inspired-mixed-use-resort-on-bay-lake-300733846.html Hotel and Proposed Disney Vacation Club Property, Three Other Previously Announced...

Paris was. The storytelling in Florida is fine. To mirror what you said, it could just use a heaping helping of pixie dust ( and money) to improve the wow factor. Most of the older Florida attractions need it. Great Movie Ride, in particular, could have become something really special again...

But other than THAT... it's fine ;)

Well, then call me a Disney fan. And I am quite fond of Universal. Their best efforts can and do rival or beat Disney. When it opened, I though IOA was the most beautifully themed park in terms of fantasy in the US, if not the world. (Still preferred Animal Kingdom overall, though)

In the OCSO Incident report, one of the two witnesses says they tried to lift the cart together but it was too heavy. The other witness says the injured worker asked them to back the vehicle off of him, saying he could not breathe. Both witnesses agree they were concerned moving the vehicle...

I've just read the preliminary report from OCSO. Two other witnesses saw/heard it happen. It appears the cast member was repairing a motorized cart when it took off, went up a fence then fell on top of him. Just a very sad accident. My heart goes out to his family, and the two witnesses (also...

I’ll get it changed. I imagine it was posted like that because we were initially told Animal Kingdom by OCSO. Only later did the Sheriff’s spokesperson clarify it happened at the Lodge, instead. It looks like the copy got updated and not the pic or headline.

That somewhat matches what we are hearing unofficially. But there may be a little more to it. Definitely some unanswered questions here. Disney, appropriately, is publicly-focused towards the loved ones over sharing specifics it has learned on the accident itself, although I’m sure their...

My pleasure, Steve.

Based on what I can see from our news helicopter it is not gondola-related. Scene is near a propane tank next to what looks like a place for vehicle maintenance and, possibly laundry

Sorry. What I mean is that for now they aren't being specific about what kind of accident/how this happened/safety protocols, etc. Not trying to hint at anything sinister.

Disney is, so far, only calling it an accident. The full statement attributed to George Kalogridis is in this article we posted a short time ago. Separately both Disney and Orange Co. Sheriff's Office tell us the investigation continues into how this happened...

Disney is not yet confirming Skyliner construction. But that would make sense. It was my first thought when they said "industrial accident."

For now... Disney is only calling it an accident. They sent us a statement attributed to George Kalogridis. https://www.clickorlando.com/news/man-found-dead-near-disneys-pop-century-resort-officials-say

Immediately before Rock N Roller Coaster's construction, that pad also housed trailers for Disney Feature Animation. I remember having lunch with a friend back there watching the Tower of Tower while we ate. She told me stories of how TOT's power needs disrupted the computers they used for CGI...

Temporary tends to last much, much longer at Disney than in the rest of the world.
