A Lawsuit Has Been Filed Due To a Rat Bite in Magic Kingdom

Orlando Florida

Well, this is quite the story! We just recently found out that a couple is suing Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. Supposedly, a rat bit a man. Yes, you read that right. A rat landed on the wife’s wheelchair, and when the husband went to knock it off, it bit him.

Galen Haldeman, then 59, and his wife, Carol, who was in the wheelchair, were leaving Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin attraction in Tomorrowland when a large rat ran into the merchandise store near the ride, according to a lawsuit filed in Orange County Circuit Court.

Somebody yelled, “Rat!” and kicked the animal, the lawsuit said. The animal jumped onto the wheel of Haldeman’s wheelchair.

“Just as the rat was about to bite into Carol’s arm, Galen grabbed the rat and yanked it off the chair,” the lawsuit said. “As he did so, the rat bit into one of Galen’s fingers. Galen had to twist the rat’s neck, and the rat fell to the floor where someone threw an empty plastic container over it.”

A Disney Cast Member hurried over, urging visitors not to photograph the animal, and took the rat away, according to the lawsuit.

“Disney violated its duty to keep its park clean and safe by allowing conditions to get to the point where rats were inhabiting the park and were even bold enough to come out openly, among people,” read the lawsuit filed March 19.

The couple is suing for more than $15,000 after Galen Haldeman attributed ensuing medical expenses, physical handicap, disfigurement, mental anguish and other problems to the incident.

I told you, quite the story!

YouTube Celebrity Arrested at Walt Disney World

MK

MK

It wasn’t the happiest place on Earth for YouTube Star, Jason Ethier, this past Sunday. The YouTube personality who is known for filming himself inside of abandoned homes and buildings was arrested right outside the Magic Kingdom on suspicion of trespassing and resisting an officer without violence per the Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrest affidavit.

Apparently, the whole altercation was even caught on film and posted on Ethier’s YouTube page which has around 1.8 million followers. During the clip, you can hear whoever is filming it stating that Ethier’s belongings were stolen. The arrest affidavit states that Ethier was verbally aggressive with Disney Security after his personal belongings were accidentally picked up by another Guest.

The affidavit also states that he was asked to leave the Magic Kingdom because he was filming Disney’s security check area which is a violation of Walt Disney World policy.

The arresting deputy stated, “I went to secure Mr. Ethier and as I grabbed his left arm he yanked and tried to break my grasp. Mr. Ethier was then taken to the ground using an arm bar take down.”

Today, Ethier took to Twitter today with the following:

Is Illuminations at Epcot About to Undergo Some Changes?

Is Illuminations at Epcot About to Undergo Some Changes?

Rumors have been circulating for some time now about changes coming to Epcot’s popular nighttime show, Illuminations. When it was announced that Siemens would be removing their sponsorship from Disney Parks, rumors started to circulate that show might be gone for good.

Today, WDWThemeParks.com is reporting that Illuminations will be getting some changes with the possibility of completely revamped show which would be called, “Illuminations: Windows on the World.”  Reports say that drones would have a large presence in an updated show or completely new show. In addition to the drones being a large part of the nighttime show, the drones themselves may be used to operate what Disney calls “Fixels.” Fixels are used used to display large puppets and projection scenes. If you remember, there was a nighttime drone show previously offered at Disney Springs during the 2016 holiday season.

WDWThemeParks.com also says some of this drone technology could be used for a new show on the Seven Seas Lagoon. Hopefully this wouldn’t mean an end to the long-running Electrical Water Pagaent but maybe just an enhancement.

Jungle Cruise Movie Cast British Comedian Jack Whitehall

Jungle Cruise Movie Cast British Comedian Jack Whitehall

Disney cast actor-comedian, Jack Whitehall in the highly anticipated film Jungle Cruise.   Dwayne Johnson was cast earlier in the year with  Emily Blunt to follow soon after.  Whitehall plays Blunt’s brother in the film,  another lead role in the movie. The British comedian and actor round out the comedic cast!

The Jungle Cruise is a famous theme park attraction found at several Disney parks. Disney hopes to bring the ride to life in a live-action comedic thriller.  Disney plans to franchise the Jungle Cruise movie and build an empire like the billion-dollar Pirates of the Caribbean series.

“Jaume Collet-Serra is on board to direct the movie based on the classic theme park attraction, which operates in several Disney Parks across the globe and takes guests on a guided tour through the rivers of the world. Oscar nominee Michael Green (“Logan”) penned the most recent draft of the script. He rewrote a screenplay by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay.”-Variety

food

“Star Wars: Galactic Nights” at Hollywood Studios promises to be an evening of “Star Wars-themed” action, entertainment, and adventure. It is also gearing up to be one of the best food events that Walt Disney World offers. Let’s take a closer look at some of the offerings:

food

The food and drinks featured at “Star Wars: Galactic Nights” is inspired by beloved “Star Wars” characters, worlds, and stories. Disney’s culinary team has dreamed up a great variety of gourmet bites just for the event as well as a few new options including Dueling Gazpacho. The Dueling Gazpacho is inspired by the lightsaber duel between Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and Sith Lord Darth Maul and features dueling flavors of red pepper and cucumber-melon.

A Foodie Universe is Awaiting at 'Star Wars: Galactic Nights' food

Also new is the Three-Cheese Pasta with a Meatball. This pasta dish features a creamy three-cheese sauce and spicy lamb and beef meatball and is inspired by the brave and persevering Resistance Movement. Looking for a little sweet and spicy? Then, look no further than the Sweet and Spicy Fried Drumstick. Guests who try this dish will sink their teeth into a honey-chili glazed drumstick with a pepper jelly biscuit. This dish gives credit to Chewbacca’s friendship with the porgs of Ahch-To.

food

A few dishes will only be found at the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge. The first one to check out is the Lemon Diver Scallop with Pork Belly. This dish combines the land and sea and pays homage to Luke’s time on the that marine planet. Another option at the Brown Derby is the Tofu and Rice Noodles which was inspired by Coruscant. This adventurous dish features a vibrant medley of pan-seared tofu, leeks, red onions, and noodles.

food food

If you can’t resist the adorable Ewoks, then you won’t be able to resists this new offering – Soba Noodle Salad. The Soba Noodle Salad compliments the Ewoks and their home on the Forest Moon of Endor. The Soba Noodle Salad consists of chili-soy Soba noodles, cucumbers, and carrots. To make it even more irresistible, it is topped with a hard-boiled, chili-glazed deviled egg. Also vegetarian, is the Plantmeat on Rootcrush which is inspired by Unkar Plutt’s concession stand on Jakku. Featured on this galactic dish is vegetarian meatloaf, mashed potatoes, root vegetables, and mushroom gravy. One bite of this and you will be energized to trade with the scavengers.

food food

Next up is a trap of delicious flavors! Guests looking for a little seafood action can sink their teeth into sweet corn cheese grits topped with a steamed crawfish and smothered in a decadent Louisiana boil broth. And, it’s not a party without some loaded cheese fries. The “Star Wars: Galactic Nights” take on loaded cheese fries, Loaded Red Curry Duck Fries, is inspired by the Battle of Crait and features seasoned fries that are topped with duck confit, red curry ketchup, and white blended cheese sauce. If anything will spark the hope of a rebellion, the Loaded Red Curry Dick Fries will!

foodfood

Inspired by Erso’s homestead which is known for its lowlands and black sand beaches, this Fish and Chips with smoked Paprika Remoulade comes alongside root vegetable chips and will have Guests thinking of Lah’mu. Looking to get even more adventurous? Head on over to BaseLine Tap House for the Ancho-Chili Octopus. The Ancho-Chili Octopus features octopus (of course!), jicama, pear, and cucumber slaw. This under-the-seas dish is based on Sarlacc, the creature found in the Dune Sea region of Tatooine.

food

Looking for some sweet treats? Have no fear! “Star Wars: Galactic Nights” will have all the favorites including Sweet and Crunchy Popcorn, “Star Wars-themed” Orange Truffle Cupcake, Mini-éclair Trio, and Glow Cotton Candy. But the highlight of all the all the sweet items is the Lightsaber Churros!
