Soarin' Updates Eiffel Tower and EPCOT World Celebration Ending 1

Soarin’ Around the World at EPCOT has received some updates to the end of the ride film, offering guests an improved (and less bendy) experience. These changes include a revamped Eiffel Tower sequence and a refreshed final scene featuring the World Celebration neighborhood, bringing the attraction in line with EPCOT’s ongoing transformation.

Soarin' Updates Eiffel Tower and EPCOT World Celebration Ending 3

A Straightened View of the Eiffel Tower

For years, fans have chuckled at the “leaning Eiffel Tower,” a quirky side effect of the screen’s curvature. This update addresses the issue by adjusting the sequence’s perspective. Riders now approach the tower from much farther away, offering a more accurate and upright view of the Parisian landmark. The smoother approach feels more cinematic, ensuring a breathtaking moment for guests soaring over the City of Light.

Soarin' Updates Eiffel Tower and EPCOT World Celebration Ending 2

A Celebration of World Celebration

The final scene, showcasing EPCOT, now reflects the updates to the World Celebration neighborhood. As riders glide toward Spaceship Earth, the former Fountain of Nations and Pin Central have been replaced by the redesigned plaza. The scene features the illuminated EPCOT logo embedded into the ground near a central planter—though, true to life, these lights have not been operational for months.

Tinker Bell continues to sprinkle her pixie dust as fireworks burst into the night sky, forming a familiar Mickey silhouette behind Spaceship Earth. Combined with the ride’s iconic score, the updates are a fitting finale to this global journey.

Enhanced Visuals and Clarity

In addition to these changes, the entire ride film appears sharper and more vibrant, indicating a general upgrade to the projection quality. The clearer visuals make every scene—from the sweeping Swiss Alps to the majestic Iguazu Falls—even more stunning, adding to the attraction’s enduring appeal.

Story Time with Deadpool: Holiday Special at Disney California Adventure

Story Time with Deadpool: Holiday Special at Disney California Adventure

The Merc with a Mouth is back and merrier than ever! “Story Time with Deadpool” has a holiday makeover, bringing festive fun to Disney California Adventure’s Hollywood Land.

The set is decked out for the holidays with a green garland of chimichanga ornaments, a green backdrop, and a Deadpool family portrait. The mantel is adorned with red baubles and candles, and stockings hang for Vanessa, Blind Al, and Peter. A red Christmas tree, decorated with black baubles, a silver star, and unique ornaments, stands above a Wolverine-inspired gift. Deadpool’s signature claw-marked chair and sticker-covered lamp complete the festive scene.

For this special holiday performance, Deadpool is dressed as Santa Claus, sporting a red velvet coat and hat trimmed with white fur. His trusty steed, the unicorn, is also in the holiday spirit, adorned with extra festive bells and reindeer antlers.

Breaking away from the usual Disney stories, Deadpool takes center stage with a Christmas tale of his own. We saw him retell “Twas the Night Before Christmas”. He plays the character “Santapool” in his version of the story. Deadpool references “Two Guys and A Girl”, the sitcom Ryan Reynolds was on in the late 90’s. He also mentions multiple Marvel characters including Gambit (whose accent he makes fun of).

Other jokes include Deadpool suggesting he should’ve replaced “flew like a flash” with “Quicksilver” due to “IP related reasons” since The Flash is a DC character. After finishing the story, he reminds guests to check out all the shows on Disney+ since story time is sponsored by the streaming service.

Wolverine did not appear at this story time, however, he has joined other versions. Snowtimes may vary but these were the times on the first day:

10:30 a.m.
11:30 a.m.
12:30 p.m.
2 p.m.

The Enduring Power of Moana: A Disney Phenomenon

When Walt Disney Animation Studios released Moana in 2016, it wasn’t just a film; it was a cultural phenomenon. The strong-willed wayfinder, voiced by Auli’i Cravalho, captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. The film’s success, both critically and commercially, has solidified its place in Disney’s legacy.

A Global Sensation

Moana topped the global box office in its opening weekend and has continued to captivate audiences. Its popularity is evident in its consistent ranking among the top-streamed movies on Disney+. In 2023, it surpassed a billion hours streamed, making it the most-streamed movie on any platform in the U.S.

Beyond the Silver Screen

The impact of Moana extends far beyond the cinematic experience. Disney has masterfully woven the character into various aspects of its entertainment empire. From Disney Stores to theme parks, Moana’s presence is undeniable.

Disney Parks: Moana’s spirit can be felt in attractions like “Moana: A Homecoming Celebration” at Hong Kong Disneyland and the immersive “Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana” at Walt Disney World Resort.

Disney Cruise Line: The upcoming Disney Treasure cruise ship will debut “Disney The Tale of Moana,” bringing the beloved story to the stage for the first time.

A Legacy of Inspiration

The creative team behind Moana and its upcoming sequel, Moana 2, is humbled by the film’s enduring popularity. They believe that the character’s inspiring journey resonates with people of all ages.

“I love that people can continue Moana’s story by themselves,” says David Derrick Jr., director of Moana 2. “With every toy, you get to reenact the story or find new ones. And I love how through the toys, through the parks, it allows everyone to become part of that incredible journey and to be inspired by Moana.”

Auli’i Cravalho echoes this sentiment, adding, “Disney magic can be felt everywhere.”

As Moana continues to inspire and entertain, it’s clear that her legacy will endure for generations to come.

SeaWorld Orlando Rescues Distressed Manatee in North Carolina

SeaWorld Orlando and Partners Rescue Distressed Manatee in North Carolina

SeaWorld Orlando, a leading marine life theme park and a vital hub for manatee rescue and rehabilitation, has once again demonstrated its commitment to wildlife conservation. SeaWorld Orlando, a leading marine life theme park, recently played a crucial role in the rescue of a distressed manatee in North Carolina.

In collaboration with a network of organizations, including the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Clearwater Marine Aquarium Research Institute, and North Carolina wildlife agencies, SeaWorld’s expert team successfully transported the 855-pound marine mammal to its world-class rehabilitation facility in Florida.

The manatee, weighing 855 pounds and measuring nearly 9 feet, was first reported in late October 2024 in North Carolina. Concerns arose as the manatee was observed listing in shallow waters and struggling to maintain its body temperature in the cold water. The rescue team, composed of experts from SeaWorld Orlando and its partner organizations, swiftly responded to the urgent situation.

Manatees, gentle giants often referred to as “sea cows,” are particularly vulnerable to cold stress when water temperatures drop below 68°F. Prolonged exposure to cold can lead to serious health issues, including hypothermia and pneumonia. The manatee, which had been spotted struggling in the cold waters of North Carolina, required immediate intervention to prevent further deterioration.

SeaWorld Orlando’s manatee rehabilitation program is one of the most advanced in the nation. The park’s state-of-the-art facilities, coupled with the expertise of its dedicated staff, provide optimal care for these marine mammals. The rescued manatee will receive specialized treatment, including temperature-controlled pools, nutritional supplements, and medical attention, to aid in its recovery.

This rescue operation underscores SeaWorld’s commitment to marine conservation and animal welfare. The park’s involvement in such initiatives highlights its role as a leader in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation. By working together with government agencies, non-profit organizations, and other stakeholders, SeaWorld strives to protect endangered species and preserve the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.
