Custom Raft Unveiled For SeaWorld Orlando’s New Attraction Infinity Falls

Custom Raft Unveiled For SeaWorld Orlando's New Attraction Infinity Falls

SeaWorld Orlando will be debuting its new Infinity Falls river rapids attraction next summer and we have the first look at the first of 15 custom rafts that guests will be riding. The 8-passenger rafts mirror those found on real white-water rafting expeditions with custom theming and décor. The circular raft design puts riders face-to-face and allows friends and family to enjoy this exhilarating attraction together.

Aboard the raft, riders will embark on an adventure through a lush rainforest environment inspired by some of the world’s most incredible freshwater ecosystems. The new attraction will feature the world’s tallest drop on a river raft ride and allow visitors to experience the feel of exhilarating rapids. The ride will also feature an innovative elevator lift designed to transport the rafts to the top of the ride’s 40-foot drop.

Custom Raft Unveiled For SeaWorld Orlando's New Attraction Infinity Falls

Infinity Falls will be the first attraction at SeaWorld to tell a story beyond the ocean and share a message of water conservation through the adventure of a white-water river expedition. This is just one example of the park’s new “Park to Planet” initiative, a mission to help guests understand some of the challenges facing the planet and inspiring them to help.

The new attraction will be the centerpiece of a newly themed area designed to resemble the basecamp of explorers and scientists. After riding Infinity Falls, the entire family can explore the village and take part in interactive experiences that combine play with education to create a positive impact on freshwater ecosystems, reinforcing “Park to Planet” in real time. SeaWorld’s Animal Ambassadors will also provide up-close encounters with animals native to South America.

Get the latest Infinity Falls updates by following SeaWorld Orlando on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and the SeaWorld Orlando Blog.

Peppermint Santa Macaron Now Available at Disneyland

Peppermint Santa Macarons are now available at Jolly Holiday at Disneyland.

This seasonal macaron offering from Jolly Holiday is filled with creamy chocolate peppermint filling. We’d describe it as a “less intense” York Peppermint Patty.

And in the shape of a Santa Hat, this seasonal treat couldn’t be any sweeter!

Today at Disney’s Yacht Club Resort we were able to get a sneak peek inside the all-new Ale & Compass Lounge and also a first-hand look at their all-new menu!

While not open to the public until November 21st we were invited in to a Private Event to sample some of their new food items!!!

The inside of the Ale & Compass Lounge was tastefully decorated with an all-new nautical theme. I love the pattern on the plates!!!

The color scheme inside is very sleek and clean, the carpet has a new but worn look like they have at Disney’s Swan & Dolphin Resort. Very cool!

The menu has expanded immensely… Sorry, the menu is a little blurry but you can see some of it online here.

We had the Oven-roasted Littlenecks with potatoes and bacon. It was delish!  The drink, we just asked for something pretty and the bartender mixed up a Coconut rum fusion. It had blood orange/ passion fruit infused vodka, pineapple juice, and margarita mix. It even came with a glow cube which we will be taking home!

Thank you so much to Disney and the Team of Ale & Compass for allowing us to sample an appetizer and drink before it opens on November 21st!

We will be back again as soon as it opens!

Check out a video I shared from inside the Ale & Compass Lounge and Bar area below.

The Beautiful Snow White Le Creuset Collection is Now Available

Snow White Le Creuset Collection

I adore cooking, and I am always in need of fabulous new things for the kitchen. Disney kitchen items aren’t always easy to come by, but Le Creuset has partnered with Disney once again, to bring us a gorgeous new collection in commemoration of Snow White’s 80th anniversary. The beautiful new Snow White Le Creuset Collection that everyone has been longing for, is now available at lecreuset.com!

The Beautiful Snow White Le Creuset Collection is Now Available

To celebrate the 80th anniversary of Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Le Creuset and Disney have collaborated once more, to create the apple cocotte, and petite apple cocotte set. These sets are inspired by the film’s iconic poisoned apple. Don’t be scared though, the cocotte might tempt you with its whimsical apple shape, and gorgeous red ombre color, but it won’t be poisonous. Both sets also include a commemorative charm and tea towel. The tea towel is white as snow, with fantastic silhouettes of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs woven through out vines, in a splendid apple red. If these sets weren’t beautiful enough, Le Creuset cookware is also some of the best out there, and makes for a wonderful piece that can be used for years to come.

The Snow White Le Creuset Collection is available now, and on lecreuset.com!
