Opening Date Announced For ‘The Edison’ At Disney Springs

The Edison Opening Date

We now know the opening date of the much anticipated Disney Springs dining location “The Edison”. In a very strange way, The Edison announced its opening date for January 1, 2018. They slipped it in very small print inside of its Daylight Savings Time Reminder.

https://twitter.com/TheEdisonFLA/status/926459462491054080

The expected opening date was originally announced for “Late 2017”. It appears more time was needed to complete the final touches. This is just one of multiple dining locations announced for Disney Springs from the Patina Restaruant Group.

Are you excited to try out The Edison when it opens?

New Christmas Disney Trading Pins Now Available at the Disney Parks

A few old favorites, like the Snow Man with Mickey ears have returned as well. My personal favorite of the new pins is the Baymax wrapped up in Christmas lights though. With the new pins is also a Hanukkah pin featuring Chip and Dale as well!

New Christmas Disney Trading Pins Now Available at the Disney Parks

It’s definetly all about Star Wars with the pins this year, which makes sense with the release of the new film, The Last Jedi opening in theaters this December. There are three sets I find really fun. The first is the Star Wars Snowflakes, featuring images of the Empire, and the First Order within the icy designs.

The second set is Star Wars Stockings! Yoda, Chewbacca, Darth Vader, and R2-D2 are re-imagined as Christmas stockings for this pin set.

New Christmas Disney Trading Pins Now Available at the Disney Parks

My personal favorite are the Star Wars Droid Ornament pins. This little collection comes on a perforated backing, so you can split them up and give them as gifts! C-3PO, R2-D2, and BB-8 are just darling as glittery Christmas ornaments, with satin ribbons to top them off.

There is also a special Santa Yoda on a backing that says “Silent Knight, Jedi Knight” which is rather amusing.

Of course we can’t forget the fun Christmas lanyard for putting our New Christmas Disney Trading Pins on! This is a reversible lanyard, with a cheerful solid red on one side, and a fun green with snowflake Mickeys on the other side.

New Christmas Disney Trading Pins Now Available at the Disney Parks

There is also a new Christmas lanyard pouch available, and not only does it feature a festive picture of Disney characters around a gorgeous Christmas tree, it also has a big gold JINGLE BELL! I think I would need that just for the bell haha.

Terms and Conditions Around Last Jedi Screening Contract Make Some Theaters Wary

SW

According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, theaters may be shying away from hosting the latest installment in the Star Wars franchise The Last Jedi which is slated to open nationwide on December 15, 2017.

The piece goes on to explain that the Walt Disney Company is requiring theaters to agree to secret terms in order to run the film which is making some owners nervous about committing to screen The Last Jedi.  The terms include Disney receiving 65% of the revenue from ticket sales (an industry record) as well as requiring the theaters to agree to screen the film in their largest auditoriums for at least a month after it’s release (which is double the usual length stipulated in contracts of this nature).

Should theater chains agree to these terms but fall short of meeting the guidelines set by Disney, the Studio will charge a penalty fee of 5% which would raise their ticket profits to 70%.

Though these terms may not effect cinema juggernauts, the smaller more independent filmhouses will be hardest hit by the revenue split and the loss of space in which to run other popular films during the holiday period.

 

 

What impact will this have on moviegoers this Christmas? That remains to be seen.  However, for most cinemas, it is expected to be business as usual.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi will open on December 15, 2017. Keep following along with Chip and Co for the latest Star Wars news and updates.

Plane Crash Survivor To Participate In The Disney Two-Course Challenge At The Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend

Plane Crash Survivor To Participate In The Disney Two-Course Challenge At The Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend

This weekend, the story of an amazing journey will play out at the Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend. San Diego resident Hayley Brown, a plane crash survivor,  will participate in the Disney Two-Course Challenge at the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend presented by MISFIT™ (Nov. 4-5) at Walt Disney World Resort.

In June of 2012, at the age of 18, Brown, who was traveling to volunteer at a medical clinic in Sinaloa, Mexico, was in a plane crash. The four-seat Cessna plane she was in hit a power line and when the wing of the plane was ripped off, the plane crashed into a river.

Brown survived the plane crash but as a result had internal injuries, lacerations, broken bones, and a head injury that required her to be placed in a medically induced coma for a week.

After her three month recovery, during which time she missed her high school graduation, Brown was able to return to school and her normal life with the help of running.

Five years later, at the age of 23, Brown has run an ultramarathon, three marathons and countless half marathons, and now she will run in the 10K and half marathon races this weekend at Disney.

She will join more than 35,000 runners for the 8th annual Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon Weekend.  This weekend includes runDisney Kids Races, 5K, 10K, half marathon races and the runDisney Health and Fitness Expo which includes the new Interactive Zone with Disney character meet and greets, yoga for runners, games and much more.
