Disney Sports Announces New Wine & Dine Half-Marathon

Running 13.1 miles can be quite a challenge, but Disney Sports has come up with the ultimate dangling carrot to motivate runners to make it all the way to the finish line.

Actually, itâ€™s more like a dangling Lamb Chop with mango chutney. Or Jerk Pork with spicy pineapple sauce. Or any of the other extraordinary culinary creations at the Epcot International Food & Wine Festival, which will essentially be the finish line for a new half-marathon race at Walt Disney World Resort.

Earlier today, Disney Sports released just some of the details of its latest endurance event, but you can bet its going to be more â€“ a lot more â€“ than just a race. Hereâ€™s what we know so far: Appropriately enough, itâ€™s going to be called the Disney Wine & Dine Half-Marathon Weekend and will debut Oct. 1-2 in 2010.

If youâ€™ve visited Disneyâ€™s California Adventure Park recently, you know the lagoon has been dry for many months as Walt Disney Imagineers install and test the newest and coolest water fountains at any Disney Park.

You can now see that the floor of Paradise Bay is a superstructure thatâ€™s nearly an acre in size and covered with a mass of metal, wiring, nozzles and gadgets. Itâ€™s all part of an intricate engineering feat to support â€œWorld of Color,â€ an exciting new nighttime water show that brings Disney animation to life with powerful fountains and amazing projection.

‘Ho White’ Beer Ad Incurs Disney’s Wrath

A beer advertisement featuring Snow White blowing smoke rings while lying in bed with seven semi-naked dwarves has reportedly left Disney fuming.

The raunchy Jamieson’s Raspberry Ale ad renamed the fairytale cartoon heroine “Ho White”.

Loveable Disney dwarves, like Sleepy, Happy and Doc, were replaced with Filthy, Smarmy and Randy to portray different types of drinkers. Campaign creators The Foundry claimed the idea was to convince Australian drinkers that the fruit-flavoured beer was “anything but sweet”. But the ad has come to the attention of the entertainment giant which licenses Snow White, according to Australia’s Daily Telegraph.

The Foundry says it has had “a little bit of contact” with Disney over the issue, the paper said. The campaign’s official website, anythingbutsweet.com, could not be accessed. The Foundry’s site had featured pictures of Ho White but links to the campaign appeared to have been disabled.

Australia’s Food Week website speculated that this may be due to a copyright infringement.

Chef Remy Audio-Animatronics Figure Remains in Epcot

Judging by online conversations, theres some question about whether Chef Remy, one of Disney’s newest Audio-Animatronics characters, can still be seen in Epcot. The answer is, yes, you can still enjoy Chef Remy’s culinary talents.

Bon Appetite from Chef Remy at Les Chefs de France at Epcot was initially scheduled to end in September but his appearances have been extended.

If you havent experienced Remys hi-jinks, you should. The rat-turned-chef made famous in the Academy Award-winning film Ratatouille flirts, dances and entertains several times a week at the France pavilion in Epcot.

Excitement around Chef Remy begins with his presentation how hes revealed. He travels table-to-table on a rolling gourmet food cart. Then a Maitre d lifts the lid off a silver-domed cheese platter to begin the show and the smallest Audio-Animatronics character ever created by Walt Disney Imagineering doesnt disappoint.
