New Spooky Halloween Concoctions at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar

Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar is brewing up some spooky Halloween concoctions! If you’re brave enough, sip on the limited-time Forbidden Apple and Autumn Smash cocktails or try the special mocktail Poison-less Apple. They will be available until early November so grab them while you can!


Quench your thirst for action at this 1940s airplane hangar turned dive bar—ex-home of Indiana Jones’ sidekick and pilot at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar.

Jock Lindsey – The Backstory
How did Indiana Jones’ barnstorming pilot Jock Lindsey end up in Disney Springs?

Fans of Raiders of the Lost Ark can’t forget Indy’s easygoing pilot Jock Lindsey—owner of a pet snake named Reggie—but how did Jock arrive here?

The two globetrotters stumbled on Disney Springs in 1938 while chasing down a mythology-based tip in central Florida. Attracted to the town’s natural springs and lush terrain, Jock bought some waterfront property and eventually settled down, piloting seaplane tours across the fast-growing Sunshine State.

Jock eventually built an airplane hangar, air tower and runway, and invited fellow members of The Society of Explorers and Adventurers to pay him a visit. His home base soon became a popular stopover and watering hole for world travelers and locals alike.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar was born!

Today, thrill-seeking families cross borders and continents to soak up the rugged charm of this artifact-strewn hangar bar, with its spare airplane parts, salvaged equipment and dusty mementos of glory days gone by.

Mushu and Music Will Appear in Upcoming Remake of “Mulan”

Mushu

Mushu

“Mulan” fans everywhere were excited when it was announced that a live-action remake was in the works. We can confirm that production is underway and have some exciting details to share from the set per The DisInsider. 

First off, everyone’s favorite sidekick, Mushu, will be in the live-action version of the movie. The hilarious Mushu was just as much a star of the original so I know I am excited to see him back!

Secondly, there was a rumor swirling that the live-action reboot would not feature any music from the original. When director, Niki Caro, was asked earlier this year if music would be in the movie, she said, “Yes, from what I understand, no songs right now, much to the horror of my children.” We are definitely happy to hear that is turning out not to be true and we will be able to enjoy some of the originals from the first “Mulan.”

“Mulan” is scheduled to arrive in theaters on March 27, 2020.

Walt Disney Company Layoffs in Consumer Products and Interactive Media

Walt Disney Company layoffs

Walt Disney Company layoffs have happened. Some employees of the Consumer Products and Interactive Media division of The Walt Disney Company have been laid off.

According to The Hollywood Report, these pinks slips are coming following a company restructuring in March and prior to the merger with 21st Century Fox.

With an 8 percent decline in revenue and a 10 percent loss in operating income for this most recent quarter, it is not entirely surprising that the layoffs occurred within this segment of the company.

Disney has not issued a statement on the layoffs, but sources have said that while the number of those laid off was not that large, it impacted lower-level employees up to vp-level executives.

While it can only be assumed that this may have something to do with the upcoming merger, insiders are saying that they are due to the restructuring announced earlier this year. As part of that restructuring the consumer products division would be merging with the successful parks and resorts division into a segment called “parks, experiences and consumer products,” which will be run by chairman Bob Chapek.
