Changes to Liberty Tree Tavern’s Lunchtime Menu Means No More Pot Roast

October 28, 2016

Disney foodies and Liberty Tree Pot Roast Lovers will be mourning the loss of their favorite dish as recent upgrades to Liberty Tree’s lunchtime menu has relegated the beloved Pot Roast to the kids A La Carte menu to make way for the All-You-Care-To-Eat Patriots Platter which will now be the focal point of Liberty Tree Tavern’s lunchtime dining experience.

The Patriots Platter will feature Roast Turkey, Prime Rib, Carved Pork Roast, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Mac and Cheese and a seasonal vegetable.

Those looking for an alternative to the Patriot, will still have the ability to order from the A La Carte options like Pasta with Sauteed Chicken or Sauteed Shrimp, the Colony Salad or a cheeseburger. However, it does appear that entree options have been scaled back significantly.

What are your thoughts about the changes to this Liberty Square eatery? Do I hear chants of “Bring back the Pot Roast?” Tell us what you think below.

Doctor Strange Film Review, The Doctor Is In

Chip and Co Past Writers and Friends

October 28, 2016

Marvel is at it again, and let me just say, I welcome it. Marvel’s “Doctor Strange” is yet another ball-out-of-the-park film from the Disney camp. If you’re in the mood for a visually stunning, action packed, comic book movie, get to the theater when it opens, because I can tell you right now, you don’t want this spoiled for you by your overzealous friends.

“Doctor Strange” is about Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch), a gifted New York neurosurgeon. His wealth, brains and cockiness closely match another known Marvel quantity who’s building is seen in an establishing shot. Strange gets into a horrific car accident (which is one of the best crash scenes I’ve seen, no joke), and finds himself in desperate need of help, not just for his hands, for himself as a whole. He travels to Kathmandu in search of Kamar-Taj and The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), to heal himself. In turn he discovers the mystic arts and becomes a powerful sorcerer. That’s when the real challenges begin.

This is by far the most visually stunning of all the films in the Marvel Universe. Ben Davis’s Cinematography and Charles Wood Production Design is beautiful. Visual Effect Supervisor Stephane Ceretti and Special Effects Supervisor Paul Corbould made the unreal 100% plausible. The bending of reality meshed seamlessly with the absolute real of the New York, Napal and Hong Kong settings.

Directed by Scott Derrickson, this is a step away from his usual genre. Derrickson is most known from horror films (“Sinister”, “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”), this was an interesting choice for Marvel, and it works. He gets tension and reveals down to a science. I’m sure he also was thrilled when he found out who his actors were – along with Cumberbatch and Swinton, the film also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Benedict Wong and Mads Mikkelsen. Not a bad cast, at all.

(L-R) Actors Benjamin Bratt, Benedict Wong, Mads Mikkelsen, Tilda Swinton, wearing Haider Ackermann, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel McAdams, writer/director Scott Derrickson, executive producers Victoria Alonso, Louis D'Esposito and president of Marvel Studios/producer Kevin Feige (Photo by Alberto E.

Rodriguez/Getty Images for Disney)

“Doctor Strange” is a welcome addition to the Marvel universe. I’m planning on seeing the movie again, and I recommend everyone watch it as soon as it comes out. One last thing, stay for both buttons at the end of the credits, you won’t regret it!

SeaWorld Orlando Creates One-of-a-Kind Penguin Wetsuit

Lisette R

October 28, 2016

Be sure to visit Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin on your next visit to SeaWorld Orlando. You will notice that there is one little penguin who does not look like the others. The reason for this? She is wearing her very own custom-made wetsuit.

This adorable female Adelie penguin has experienced feather-loss, which can happen to penguins in their natural habitats and wild populations. As a result of this feather-loss, she had difficulty naturally regulating her body temperature. SeaWorld Orlando’s aviculture team set out to assist her and created a wetsuit that mimics her former coat of feathers. The coat was designed and sewn by SeaWorld’s wardrobe department and custom fit just for her.

The wetsuit is serving this sweet little penguin well. She swims, sleeps, and eats alongside her fellow penguins. This is just another extraordinary example of how SeaWorld Orlando cares for the marine animals at the park.

What do you think of this penguin wetsuit? Please leave your comments in the box below.

A limited time sneak peek of Disney’s upcoming animated feature “Moana” will be available at Hollywood Studios beginning November 5th. Guests can enjoy an advance look at scenes from the film presented as part of the One Man’s Dream attraction, which is currently showing a preview of Marvel’s Doctor Strange until November 4th. The special preview of Moana is already playing at Disney California Adventure park at the Bug’s Life Theater and features a 3D presentation with exclusive in-theater effects.

“Moana” is the story of an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people. During her journey, Moana (voice of Auli‘i Cravalho) meets the mighty demigod Maui (voice of Dwayne Johnson), who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder. Together, they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds, and along the way, Moana fulfills the ancient quest of her ancestors and discovers the one thing she’s always sought – her own identity.
