They’d get it done maybe by the time the 5th Avatar movie releases!

You’re*** (loved this gif, even though the person who made it doesn’t know the proper use of your!)

“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!

‘Cosmic Rewind’ Villain Updated to be More Imposing Than Version Seen in the Movies​

A report from The Direct puts to rest if Eson, the antagonist from Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, is really that Eson. Fans of Guardians of the Galaxy have been wondering if the Eson that they saw on screen is really the same Eson that aims to wipe out all of humanity on Walt Disney World’s newest roller coaster.

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".

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...
