“Tale of the Lion King” Debuts May 28th at Disneyland


Beginning May 28, 2022, Disneyland park will welcome “Tale of the Lion King” to its new home at the Fantasyland Theatre where this original, story-theatre adaptation of Disney’s “The Lion King” will be staged in an all-new presentation (as depicted in this artist rendering). At the heart of the production is a traveling troupe known as The Storytellers of the Pride Lands who weave the tale of how a cub becomes a king through dialogue, song, dance and percussion. From the scenic and costume designs to the new original musical arrangements and choreography, every aspect of “Tale of the Lion King” honors and is inspired by the cultural roots of this timeless story.


Also on May 28, Troubadour Tavern will return with new menu items inspired by the show.
 

New Policy May Delay First Responders at Walt Disney World


The Reedy Creek Fire Chief recently enacted a new policy that may delay emergency assistance at Walt Disney World, according to union representatives.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, an April 11 internal email (provided by union chief Jon Shirey) prohibits the Reedy Creek Fire Department from requesting assistance from neighboring fire departments for “non-emergency transports, medical calls, or supplement responses to calls such as structure fires.”

The department can still request assistance from the Orange and Osceola County Fire Rescues for emergencies, but communications staff who take the calls have to notify their commanders of the request.

Well, I'll miss Mickey and the Magical Map, but I am glad to see this theater getting used for something. Should be a good show and I hope it has live-miked singers!

Not quite understanding how severe this is. It sounds like it only applies in situations that aren't emergencies. Does having somebody else make the call cause a critical delay?

Sorry, I couldn't make it past "It features the characters Star-Lord, Gamora, and everyone’s favorite talking racoon, Groot".
Well, there is a comma in between racoon and Groot so they could technically be referring to two different characters. Could just be poorly written? Or maybe I'm just being too kind...
