After a long day in the parks, mom and dad deserve a break to sit back and unwind. Now guests staying at Walt Disney World Resort’s Disney’s All-Star Music Resort can enjoy a refreshing adult beverage at the hotel’s new lounge area. The lounge is located at the Singing Spirits Pool Bar, grab a drink and relax, the lounge is open from 5:30 p.m. – 1 a.m., nightly.

It should also be noted that Singing Spirits Pool Bar will soon be adding appetizers to their menu. I love the pool bars at the resorts. At the end of the day it’s super fun to kick back and chat with fellow guests, and I am sure the new lounge will make this experience even better.

I will be checking-in at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort in just two weeks, I can’t wait to check out the new lounge…hopefully they will have their appetizer options available!

Dak Prescott and Jarrad Davis Attend NFL Training at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex

Are you ready for some football? It’s almost that time, NFL training camps will begin soon and before you know it the season will be in full swing. Performance trainer Tom Shaw has been running offseason workouts at Walt Disney World Resort’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex and several NFL players participated including, Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott and rookie LB Jarrad Davis of the Detroit Lions.

Prescott (drafted by Cowboys in the 4th round of the 2016 NFL Draft) and Davis (drafted No. 17 overall by the Lions this year) are training at Disney with fellow NFL players working with Shaw to improve speed, agility, strength and explosiveness. Shaw has worked with other NFL stars such as Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks, Jameis Winston, Calvin Johnson and Tom Brady.

Part of the workouts with Prescott and Davis involve training with youth athletes who are spending their summers getting ready for their upcoming sports seasons. In addition to Davis and Prescott, Shaw also had more than 40 NFL prospects and veterans in his program earlier this spring, including the No. 17 overall pick (Washington Redskins) DE Jonathan Allen.

Over the years, Shaw has worked with more than 145 NFL first-round draft choices, 10 No. 1 picks and 11 Super Bowl MVPs – many of whom he has trained at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Shaw also works with youth and collegiate athletes, including those who participate in Disney Spring Training, where high school and college baseball, golf, lacrosse, rugby, softball, tennis and track & field teams train at Disney during spring

The razor-thin line between redemption and retribution explodes with a vengeance in “Marvel’s Daredevil: The Complete Second Season.”

With Wilson Fisk behind bars, Matt thinks his efforts to bring order to Hell’s Kitchen are succeeding—until chaos reignites with two new arrivals: Frank Castle (a.k.a. The Punisher), an anguished ex-soldier determined to visit bloody, irrevocable “justice” upon his adversaries, and Matt’s volatile old flame Elektra Natchios. Meanwhile, a lethal, relentless source of ancient evil continues to amass power. Now, as both the stakes and the body count rise, Matt faces a life-altering choice that forces him to confront what it truly means to be a hero.

“Marvel’s Daredevil” The complete second season will be available to own on Blu-ray and DVD on Aug. 22 with 13 exciting episodes for fans to add to their libraries. Don’t miss out on the excitement and pre-order yours today!

She discovers that the source of her trauma, a mind-controlling sociopath named Kilgrave, has resurfaced, forcing her to use her gifts as a private eye to track him down before he causes more damage to her life or to anyone else.

Disney is cutting back on Cast Members Hours

According to reports Disney is going to be cutting cast members hours as early as tomorrow!

The word on the street is that Disney is making adjustments to the shifts at its parks and resorts with changes going into effect starting Sunday July 23, 2017. These cuts are slated to run until September 30, 2017 which is the end of Disney’s fiscal calendar.

Little is known as of yet as to what impact this will have on the customer experience though historically this has resulted in longer wait times at the attractions.

Cutbacks like this are not all that uncommon at the theme parks with the last notable round happening in early 2016 leading many to speculate that soaring costs at Shanghai Disney were having an effect on operations stateside. Disney however has argued in the past that hours will typically fluctuate int the normal course of business. In a statement last year to the Orlando Sentinel they added “We continually refine our operations to be as efficient as possible while delivering an experience that exceeds the evolving expectations of our guests,” the company said in a statement.

Stay tuned to Chip and Co for further information on this story and the latest Disney news, updates and reviews.

With seats for 2 riders, an interactive dashboard with lights and real movie sounds, and a 5 miles per hour driving speed, this speeder provides a truly galactic driving experience.

Darkwing Duck Returns

Get ready DuckTales fans, because things are about to get dangerous! He is the terror that flaps in the night, he is the mouse that nips your cheese, and he is returning to TV in the new Ducktales reboot on Disney XD! That’s right guys, DarkWing Duck returns once more in the new DuckTales reboot!

The confirmation that DarkWing Duck returns, was made at the San Deigo Comic Con by the creators of the DuckTales reboot. Only a brief image of concept art was shown, but that’s enough to get this Duck fan super excited! The brief sneak peek also shows Darkwing’s motorcycle, the Ratchatcher, and his ultimate arch nemesis MEGAVOLT! The show creators stayed very quiet on how Darkwing will be introduced, or even when we will see his first appearance, but knowing it WILL happen is enough for me!

DuckTales will make it’s premiere with an hour long movie on Saturday, August 12th on the Disney XD channel. The series will make it’s official debut with two new episodes Saturday September 23rd!

Are you excited for the return of Darkwing Duck in the new DuckTales reboot?
