Harrison Ford Claims ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Will Begin Filming Very Soon

Harrison Ford Claims ‘Indiana Jones 5’ Will Begin Filming Very Soon. Lucasfilm is taking a short hiatus from Star Wars films, and has shifted focus to the other stories previously told by the studio such as ‘Willow’ and ‘Indiana Jones‘.

During an interview on the red carpet for Ford’s latest film, The Secret Life of Pets 2, Harrison told Variety that the movie “should be starting to shoot sometime next week [referring to the week of June 2nd].” “I’m looking forward to it,” he added. “Things are coming along well.”

Rumors had been swirling for some time about Indiana Jones 5. The rumors were mainly about casting choices, timeline of the story, and if the studio would be casting another actor to replace Harrison Ford in the role of Indiana Jones himself. Highly rumored was the potential casting of Chris Pine as a younger Indy.

Harrison did not take kindly to those questions about the potential replacement, and was adamant that those are strictly rumors. “Nobody is going to be Indiana Jones,” Ford replied after being asked who he’d like to see take up the role. “Don’t you get it? I’m Indiana Jones. When I’m gone, he’s gone. It’s easy.”

Harrison then joked about the comment, “This is a hell of a way to tell Chris Pine this. I’m sorry, man.”

It had been previously announced by Stephen Spielberg that the film would begin filming in April 2019, but that date has since past with no sign of filming by the studio, which sparked more rumors about the films likelihood to be created at all.

It does appear that Indiana Jones 5 has been added to the Lucasfilm release date schedule and is set to premiere in theaters on July 9, 2021, regardless of the many things being said about the film.

What are your thoughts on a new story about Indiana Jones? Are you excited to see Harrison Ford again as Professor Indiana Jones? Do you think Shia LeBeouf (Mutt) or Karen Allen (Marion) will be signed to the project? We would love to hear what you think

Teen Pays His Family’s Way to Disney by Selling Cupcakes

Isaiah Tuckett has been asking his family to take him to Walt Disney World for as long as he can remember. Due to family financial issues, they were never able to afford it. Many kids would just whine and complain until they got their way. Instead, Isaiah decided to do something about it!

Isaiah has been baking in local fairs and competitions collecting champion ribbons in categories aproned-grandmothers are used to winning. He has also been making cupcakes for family events, even 750 in one weekend! He set out to make and sell enough cupcakes to take his family to Disney.

His parents supported his efforts as much as they could paying for Isaiah’s baking supplies – including those used to send the family to Disney World.

Isaiah went on a cupcake baking spree! At $20 a dozen, Isaiah sold enough cupcakes in one year to pay for airfare, hotel and Disney World tickets for his mom, dad, sister, brother, sister-in-law and nephew – seven people in all.

To accomplish his goal, Isaiah needed customers. It didn’t hurt that a month after Isaiah filled his first order, Madison’s bakery closed its doors. The closest stand-alone bakery still operating was 30 miles away. “People were looking for stuff and there wasn’t a bakery anymore,” Isaiah’s mother says. The orders for Isaiah’s cupcakes – baked and frosted in a variety of flavors – poured in. “I’ve done birthday parties, confirmations, graduations, reunions, funerals, weddings,” Isaiah says.

Isaiah now has goals of culinary school and baking his way into a pick-up truck! This kid is just amazing!

If you’re taking a trip to Batuu, you may want to accessorize! The Droid Depot of Galaxy’s Edge has the perfect Droid Accessories, to keep you in style with the planet’s local trends. The Droid Depot may be for building droids, but you’ll find these fun accessories inspired by our favorite Droids R2-D2- and BB-8.

There is a mini backpack, and matching zip around wallet. Mini backpacks have been a Disney style craze, so it’s exciting to see such a uniquely designed Star Wars theme. They feature a circuit board like print, with metallic prints of BB-8 and Artoo. Metal plaques of the droids also adorn the bags, along with copper colored hardware and zippers. These are exclusives to the Droid Depot and will not be found anywhere else outside of the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge lands in Disneyland, and Walt Disney World (When it opens).

In addition to the bags there is also Droid inspired jewelry! You’ll find pieces inspired by BB-8 and R2-D2 in different metal tones, and designs.

The Droid Headbands are my personal go to choice for a hair accessory while at Galaxy’s Edge. However if headbands aren’t your thing, there is also a very cute Droid Bow! This bow has two-tone metallic fabric, and a metal BB-8 icon in the center.

Like most items on the mysterious planet of Batuu in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, the fun Droid Accessories have a purchase limit of 1 per person. Will you be accessorizing like a Droid when you visit Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge?

Volcano Bay Closed and Staff Taken to Hospital Over “Technical Issues”

June 2, 2019

An undisclosed incident at Universal Orlando’s Volcano Bay has resulted in staff being taken via ambulance to the hospital earlier today. The park was also closed down to “address the issues faced at the time.”

UPDATE 6/3/2019 1:36pm

The Orlando Sentinel is stating that three people were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center and one to Dr. Phillips Hospital after the Orlando Fire Department responded at 4:44 p.m. Sunday. A small group of workers at Universal’s Volcano Bay were taken to the hospital on Sunday as a cautionary measure, Universal spokesman Tom Schroder had said in a statement Sunday. The employees were later released from the hospital, Schroder added. His statement made no mention of any injuries to guests. Universal declined to comment further Monday.

A Universal lifeguard, who declined to use her name because of fear of losing her job, said she had been told there was a wiring short at the Krakata Aqua Coaster. The park’s centerpiece ride that goes through the towering 200-foot volcano that can be seen from Interstate 4 had recently been rewired, she said. But she stayed in the water anyway. “Everybody knows if you leave your post, it’s grounds for termination,” the lifeguard said.

Sarah Carlino of Boston and her two sisters walked at Volcano Bay when her siblings both unexpectedly reacted in pain. They both felt like they were “zapped” on their feet, Carlino said, expressing frustration about what she called Universal’s slow response when guests reported being electrically shocked. Carlino, 32, said her sisters were electrically shocked several hours earlier at about 11 or 11:30 a.m. Carlino’s frustrations were from with Universal’s response after she explained what happened to a manager, she said.

“She didn’t believe what we were saying,” Carlino said. “They weren’t taken this seriously.” It took about 10 minutes before the area by the lazy river near the aqua coaster was closed, Carlino said. The park would later shut down that day. Carlino said an ambulance came to the scene and first responders cleared her sisters who were not taken to the hospital. “They need to be held accountable,” Carlino said. “What if somebody had a pacemaker? Or there was a child?”

___________________________________

Workers were transported to the hospital and a spokesperson for Volcano Bay says there were “technical issues” and “workers reportedly transported as a precaution.” The nature of the reported technical issues is currently unclear, but Universal Orlando spokesperson Tom Schroder told Spectrum News in an email that the workers were taken to a hospital “out of an abundance of caution.”

He said a “small number” of Volcano Bay’s team members were transported, though an exact amount has not yet been specified. Schroder also said Volcano Bay closed early Sunday to continue to address the issue they faced.

We will continue to bring you any details on this event as we receive them.

New Loaded Onion Rings At Golden Oak Outpost

The Golden Oak Outpost located in Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom is now serving Loaded Onion Rings!

This quick service location is perfect to provide you with sustenance after conquering the mountains, that’s Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, of course.

Golden Oak Outpost has brought us the Loaded Onion Rings! These rings are nicely golden and crispy and topped with yummy cheese sauce. Then they cover these golden rings with loads of bacon bits and garnish with green onions. All that bacon, and this dish is only $6.99! If you don’t like bacon; wait who doesn’t like bacon?! Anyway, if you’re looking for a different option, you can also get these rings topped with chili and cheese. Either way, you can’t go wrong!

If you’ve got a sweet tooth, the Golden Oak Outpost can help you out with that too. Try out their sweet treats. For dessert, or for anytime really, you can choose between their Rocky Road Milk Shake, the Dulce de Leche Milk Shake, or a Warm Fresh-baked Chocolate-Chunk Cookie. All for $6.99 and lower.

This quick service spot has been known to change out their menu quite a bit. Previous favorites have included the Jalapeno Poppers, Fried Cauliflower, Loaded Waffle Fries, and Barbecue Chicarrons. With frequent changes to their snack options, we think it’s safe to say, get these rings while they’re hot!

Which Loaded Onion Rings are you going to try? Let us know in the comments!

Well, the Aladdin Dooney & Bourke Collection debuted this weekend, and it is as every bit as magical as we could have hopped for! The collection features three silhouettes, a Tote, a Satchel, and a Foldover Crossbody.

The Jasmine Tote is fit for a sultan’s daughter! An all over screen art design of Princess Jasmine and Agrabah wraps around this beautiful bag. Multiple pockets and metal feet make this tote functional and fashionable. This is also part of the Dream Big Princess bags that Disney and Dooney have been releasing, like the Snow White, Cinderella, and Tiana bags we’ve seen in the past. This bag is currently sold out on shopDisney, but I have heard the Disney Fashionista may know how to find them here. The bottom of this bag has a Magic Carpet like design on it.

Aladdin Satchel by Dooney & Bourke – $228.00 on shopDisney

The satchel is big on style while cutting a chic, compact silhouette. A repeating print pattern of Rajah, Abu, and Genie adorn this regal bag which features a removable, adjustable strap and multiple pockets. I’m loving the background design has a Magic Carpet feel to it.

Aladdin Foldover Crossbody Bag by Dooney & Bourke – $178.00

The Foldover Crossbody Bag makes a regal fashion statement. The same beautiful Rajah, Abu, and Genie repeating print pattern s the Satchel adorns this bag too. It features a removable, adjustable strap, credit card slots and multiple pockets.

Something magical has come to Schmoozies at Disney California Adventure! Pairing perfectly with the new Lemon Blueberry Magic AKA the Donald Duck Butt Cronut! The Get Your Ears On Celebration just ended and with that brought an influx of new seasonal treats to Disneyland. Today alone we found two fantastic and super photogenic treats at Schmoozies!

Schmoozies! is a Quick Service location in Hollywood Land offering some of the best snacks at Disney Califonia Adventure Park. Seasonally changing treats plus delish smoothies and epic coffee choices make this one of our favorite stops.

The new Sorcerer Mickey Shake is a perfect blend of cookies and cream, whipped cream, and chocolate cream filled cookies(Oreos) as ears for $7.49! It is a super smooth drink that went down very easy. It pairs perfectly with the new Donald Duck Butt Cronut.

The New Lemon Blueberry Magic AKA Donald Duck Butt Cronut is filled with lemon blueberry jelly, which offers a great balance of sweetness and tartness. It is HUGE and can be shared between two people for sure. The cronut is flaky, and light just like you’d want from the donut hybrid. It’s topped with whipped topping to mimic Donald after he has been shot into the wall during Mickey’s Philharmagic. Totally adorable! The Sorcerer Hat is white chocolate.
