Cake Decorating Experience Returns to Amorette’s in Disney Springs. More and more experiences and extras are reopening at Walt Disney World all the time. With recent tours returning to Epcot, and now a food experience that sounds yummy.
During this 90-minute hands-on experience, you will create your very own edible work of art in a small group setting. Learn from the talented Amorette’s Patisserie cast members as you decorate a classic Mickey Mouse Dome Cake. They’ll guide you through the decorating process from pouring glaçage to placing Mickey’s iconic ears, all while sharing tips and some behind-the-scenes stories about Amorette’s Patisserie.
At the end of class, you and your fellow artists will have a beautiful character cake to take home, along with a special send-off from the team. You’ll also have a chance to purchase your favorite sweet treats from Amorette’s Patisserie before it opens for the day (because you can never have too many desserts)!
The experience is $199 plus tax, for up to two guests decorating one cake and includes all-you-care-to-enjoy beverages like specialty coffees, teas, water, and select alcoholic beverages (available with valid ID). Reservations will be required. Online bookings will begin November 14, and for classes beginning November 16. Stay tuned to @DisneySprings on social media for additional details coming soon.
CNBC’s Jim Cramer called for the firing of Disney CEO Bob Chapek after The Walt Disney Company turned in dismal fourth-quarter earnings earlier this week.
Cramer criticized Chapek for his “delusional” portrayal of the quarter, in which Disney+, the company’s streaming service, took a $1.5 billion loss, rendering the media giant to miss Wall Street’s projections.
Using a sports analogy, Cramer compared Chapek to a head coach leading the “Mad Money” host to say Chapek “absolutely” should be fired because the “team” has been “going downhill.”
“There is just no doubt that he has to go,” Cramer said. “The way he handled it, he made it sound like it was a four-star quarter. Delusional.”
You can listen to Jim Cramer’s criticism of Bob Chapek’s job performance in the video below.
“Disney, they have ESPN. If we were on ESPN, we would say he’s got to be fired. That’s pretty cut and dry,” Cramer said on CNBC’s business news program “Squawk Box” Wednesday morning. “The losses here are just mind-boggling. When you’re going over the quarter, it’s stunning.”

First Look at Updated Adventureland Treehouse Returning to Disneyland in 2023
Today, Disneyland announced that the beloved treehouse in Adventureland at Disneyland Park will return in a fresh, new way in 2023.
Paying tribute to the original treehouse that Walt Disney and his Imagineers built in 1962 for the hit movie, “Swiss Family Robinson,” the Adventureland Treehouse inspired by Walt Disney’s Swiss Family Robinson will showcase wonderous new environments created amongst the branches of a giant tree on the shores of the Jungle River.
Guests will find fascinating rooms that the family in this new story created for one another, such as the mother’s music den, the young sons’ nature room, and the teenage daughter’s astronomer’s loft. The bottom floor will showcase an ingenious kitchen and dining room, along with the father’s art studio, which will display hand-drawn sketches and paintings of each room.
For those who would rather stay on terra firma, the bottom floor will showcase an ingenious kitchen and dining room, along with the father’s art studio, displaying hand-drawn sketches and paintings of each of the rooms.
Walt Disney Imagineers are hard at work and delighted to bring this classic back in a fresh way, full of magic, enchantment, and wonder.
We look forward to sharing an opening date and more details about the new Adventureland Treehouse coming to Disneyland park in the future.

Captain America Star Chris Evans is the 2022 Sexiest Man Alive
People magazine has crowned actor Chris Evans this year’s Sexiest Man Alive.
While speaking with the outlet for the cover story, Evans noted that one of the first things that went through his mind is that his mom would be “so happy” to hear the news, noting, “She’s proud of everything I do but this is something she can really brag about.”
Before jumping into PEOPLE‘s cover story, the actor mentioned it was an interesting thing to be interviewed for. “This whole thing is tough to be interviewed about,” he said. “It feels like a weird form of humble bragging.”
Among those likely to heckle him are co-stars and previous Sexiest Man Alive winners like Rudd, Ryan Reynolds and Chris Hemsworth.
