Universal Affordable Housing Community to receive Tuition-Free Preschool. Did you know Jeff Bezos and the Bezos Academy are building a network of tuition-free, Montessori-inspired preschools in underserved communities? Their preschools offer year-round programming, five days a week, for children ages 3-5 years old, for low-income families.

Wendover Housing Partners today announces it has signed a ten-year lease agreement with Bezos Academy to open a tuition-free, Montessori-inspired preschool that will be a part of the future Catchlight Crossings multi-family affordable housing community – the cornerstone of Universal Parks & Resorts’ Housing for Tomorrow initiative.

Housing for Tomorrow is Universal’s first-of-its-kind approach designed to help create an innovative solution to address Orlando’s critical need for affordable housing by creating inclusive, economically diverse housing options. Universal pledged 20 acres of prime land in the heart of Orlando’s tourist corridor to be used for 1,000 units of affordable/mixed-income multi-family housing. After conducting a national search, Universal selected Wendover to develop and manage the community and bring the vision for Catchlight Crossings to life.

Catchlight Crossings is a truly affordable, inclusive housing community that will provide economically diverse housing options to Central Florida residents. The community will be open to anyone who meets the income requirements set forth by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). 

Catchlight Crossings sets a new vision for what affordable housing can be; a community built to enhance the lifestyle of its residents. This includes a wide range of on-site services – like Bezos Academy’s tuition-free preschool – that will put residents first.

The Bezos Academy preschool will be located on-site within the Catchlight Crossings community. The school, Bezos Academy Orlando – Destination Parkway, will feature five classrooms, accommodate up to 100 children, will follow a full-day, year-round schedule, and will be open at the same time residents move into Catchlight Crossings. This will be the fourth Bezos Academy school located in Central Florida.

“In developing Catchlight Crossings, we wanted to think through all aspects of residents’ lives, and that includes early childhood education,” said Jonathan L. Wolf, founder, and CEO of Wendover Housing Partners. “By partnering with Bezos Academy, we are proud to offer free preschool education in addition to an affordable place to live. This community goes far beyond affordable housing, it’s about really improving the quality of life for Central Florida residents.”

“We look for partners who help us go above and beyond meeting the educational needs of the child,” said Mike George, President of Bezos Academy. “That is why we are so excited to be a part of Wendover Housing Partners’ and Universal Parks and Resorts’ plan to provide affordable housing with wrap-around services for its employees and the surrounding community.”

Families earning up to 400% of the federal poverty level with children aged 3-4 years old are eligible to apply. This means that, for a family of four, the annual household income can be up to $111,000 to qualify.

New Moana Journey of Water Construction update for October

New Moana Journey of Water Construction update for October. Just a month ago we got to see the actual 3D model of the new attraction coming to Epcot’s World Nature in 2023. We were all really impressed with what the Imagineering team at Disney has come up with and are highly excited for the opening day.

We got a chance to ride Disney’s Monorail and get a birds-ey view of the construction being done. A lot of the rock formations are complete and painted, and now the Cast members are adding some landscaping across the tops of the rocks.

One of the cooler things you can now see from the monorail is the Symbol from the movie Moana “The Heart of Te Fiti” in the rock sculpture. if you look through the scaffolding you can see it for yourself.

Zach Riddley said recently:

It was great to spend the day on our project site for Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana – the new attraction coming to the World Nature neighborhood of EPCOT. Many years go into designing these experiences and nothing beats seeing the real thing in its own “state of becoming.” Our guests are following along on this work from the monorail above our site, so I thought it would be fun to share a few views with you from on the ground, right in the middle of the process.

The craft of creating rockwork is a blend of art and science, and seeing this carving and sculpting progress live is one of the things I love most about my role as an Imagineer. I joined the project team for a walk of the site
alongside Imagineers Scott and Robert, two of our leaders overseeing the project. The range of textures are inspired by real-world formations – all the way down to the tiniest
details and variation that, when finished, should be impossible to distinguish from the real thing.”

The news is surprising, but welcome to Marvel fans. For starters, WandaVision viewers speculated about Dottie, one of the trapped townsfolk on the series, right from her introduction, and it seems like the studio will build more on her character with the Kathryn Hahn-led Marvel spin-off.

Elsa and Anna Cinderella Castle Dream Lights not returning in 2022. Disney just dropped a whole lot of news regarding this Holiday Season at the Walt Disney World Resorts. Some fun returning events like Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, and then some news about what is NOT returning this year.

On nights when Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is not held, Cinderella Castle transforms to take on a magical holiday look complete with special projection effects, festive colors, and a rotating series of designs including a whimsical Christmas sweater, a jeweled castle look, and more. 

Almost everywhere guests look they will be immersed in festive holiday decor at “The Most Magical Place on Earth.” Theme parks, resorts, and the Disney Springs dining, entertainment, and retail district are transformed into all that is merry and bright.

Decor highlights include:  

  • Jolly trimmings and theming throughout Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom Park.
  • Holiday glamour on Hollywood and Sunset Boulevards in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and festive touches in Toy Story Land.
  • Animal-inspired décor, luminaries on Discovery Island, and holiday cheer that ex-pats from Earth have brought to Pandora – The World of Avatar at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.  
  • Dazzling international decor around World Showcase at EPCOT.  
  • Nightly snow flurries and Disney-themed Christmas trees at Disney Springs.
  • Iconic Gingerbread displays and embellishments at Disney Resort Hotels.
  • And Christmas trees seemingly everywhere – more than 1300 at last count, some towering 65 feet.

Looks like Disney will not be returning the beloved “Frozen” Lights, which will make the second year they have not been put up. Last year Very Merriest After Hours was the first time since 2018 that the Cinderella Castle did not have a special light show or A Frozen Holiday Wish fan favorite Stage Show.

The Spider-Man card follows in the footsteps of previous library cards issued for the beloved children’s book The Snowy Day and the Library’s “Knowledge Is Power” card; aiming to help New Yorkers discover their full potential by tapping into the power of everything NYPL has to offer—millions of books to help readers scale new heights, a web of information via free computers and internet access, and a super-team of library staff—all available at your friendly neighborhood library.

The release of the Spider-Man card also marks the one-year anniversary of the Library’s decision to eliminate fines as a way to remove barriers to accessing the Library for all New Yorkers. This historic move was even a plot point in Marvel Comics’ Amazing Spider-Man #900, released on July 27. In a special story written by Daniel Kibblesmith, drawn by David Lopez, and colored by Nathan Fairbairn, Peter Parker returns a large stack of overdue books to the Library after learning of the elimination of late fines.

And, it doesn’t just have bacon; it features deviled eggs topped with fried shrimp, chipotle beef jerky, and salmon candy with a bourbon drizzle.  

The Bone and Brie will leave you wanting to devour every last bite on this foodie adventure. With roasted bone marrow, and honey-baked brie baked in a cast iron skillet with marionberry onion jam, this shareable dish is a must-try.
