Head over to Orlando Vineland Premium Outlets to sample craft Caribbean Rums at Caribbean Moonshine

Looking for a new experience to add to your vacation itinerary? Experience a slice of the Caribbean’s rich history and vibrant flavors right in Central Florida at the Orlando Vineland Premium Outlet Mall. Introducing Caribbean Moonshine, a vibrant 3,000-square-foot hub of craft distillery, tasting, and tropical retail delights that aims to bring some of the best craft spirits from the Caribbean to the U.S. mainland.

Rum’s legacy traces back to the 17th-century sugar cane fields of Barbados. Slaves began producing what was then called “rumbullion”, eventually dubbed “rum” by settlers. Today’s Caribbean Moonshine takes inspiration from this legacy, with its rum base distilled in Puerto Rico’s Club Caribe distillery. This is then blended with Florida’s spring water and cane sugar, making it a delightful 50-proof drink. And for the curious, you can witness the final bottling process right at the store.

Decked in lively island colors, Caribbean Moonshine serves up what’s called the “Taste of Vacation”. Dive into five enticing rum flavors:

  • Passion Fruit Prohibition
  • Marmalade Mayhem
  • Cat 5 Coconut
  • Banana Breeze
  • PB&C (peanut butter and chocolate) Cannonball

Founded by travel pros Steve Nichols and Mike Weber, the store is more than a tasting room. It’s a walk through history. As Nichols shares, Florida was a haven for bootleggers in the 1920s and 30s, with mobster Al Capone even running a hidden distillery in the Everglades. “Our goal is to recreate a sense of those times,” Nichols explains, catering to both locals and global visitors.

Don’t miss out on their ‘shine’ cakes, a fruity rum cake delight crafted from Caribbean Moonshine. For those who want to shake things up, Nichols and Weber offer cocktail and baked goods recipes, available both in-store and online.

Good Burger 2 first full trailer released for Paramount+

Paramount+ has unveiled the first full trailer for “Good Burger 2.” In the preview, Dexter (played by Kenan Thompson) and Ed (portrayed by Kel Mitchell) discover that the evil Mega Corp has intentions of introducing Mega Good Burgers, operated solely by robots, in cities worldwide.

Announced in March, the movie is set to make its debut on Paramount+ on November 22. The sequel boasts an ensemble cast that includes Kenan Thompson, Kel Mitchell, Lil Rel Howery, Jillian Bell, Kamaia Fairburn, Alex R. Hibbert, Fabrizio Guido, Elizabeth Hinkler, and Emily Hinkler in the roles of Cindy and Mindy. Anabel Graetz stars as Ruth, and the film also reunites original “Good Burger” actors Josh Server, Lori Beth Denberg, and Carmen Electra.

“Good Burger” originated from a comedic sketch on the Nickelodeon series “All That,” with Kel Mitchell taking on the role of Ed. This sketch evolved into a full-fledged movie released in 1997. Impressively, the film garnered considerable success at the box office, raking in nearly $24 million in revenue while being produced on a reported budget of just $8 million. Its enduring popularity has elevated it to the status of a cult classic.

Kel Mitchell and Kenan Thompson have been serving up more “Good Burger” since their sketch on “The Tonight Show” in 2015. They have expressed their openness to the idea of revisiting the film in various interviews over the years. Additionally, Kel Mitchell reprised his role as Ed in the 2019 revival of the “All That” series, further cementing the enduring legacy of “Good Burger.”

Now, we’d like to hear from you: On a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being “not excited at all” and 5 being “incredibly excited,” how thrilled are you about the upcoming release of “Good Burger 2”?

Tale of the Lion King originally debuted at Disney California Adventure in June of 2019 but closed in 2020 due to Covid-19. The show then reopened in 2022 at the Fantasyland Theatre in Disneyland with some updates.

“Rediscover Simbaโ€™s journeyโ€”from timid cub to mighty kingโ€”as you have never experienced it before.

Narrated by the Storytellers of the Pride Lands, Simbaโ€™s rise to royalty is presented in a unique, theatrical styleโ€”with live music and dance inspired by the cultural roots of this timeless story. The stirring tale of Simba, Nala, Mufasa, Scar, Timon and Pumbaa features new arrangements of treasured songs, including “Circle of Life,” “Hakuna Matata” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight.”

With all-new staging at the Fantasyland Theatre, itโ€™s heartfelt entertainment for the whole family!”

Before Tale of the Lion King came to the Fantasyland Theatre, โ€œMickey and the Magical Mapโ€ was the featured show. With Tale of the Lion King ending, it could mean a new show will be coming soon.

โ€˜Once Upon a Studioโ€™ adds a dash of Magic with Legends Burny Mattinson and Richard Sherman

Now available exclusively on Disney+, the original short film “Once Upon a Studio” from Walt Disney Animation Studios invites both beloved heroes and iconic villains, charming princes and enchanting princesses, faithful sidekicks and powerful sorcerers to come together in a unique blend of hand-drawn and CG animation. This extraordinary creation commemorates an impressive ten decades of storytelling, artistic brilliance, and technological innovation.

Crafted under the skilled direction and writing of Dan Abraham and Trent Correy, with the talented production team of Yvett Merino and Bradford Simonsen, “Once Upon a Studio” showcases over 500 cherished Disney characters hailing from more than 85 feature-length and short films. Additionally, this enchanting journey includes two magical contributions from legendary Disney figures.

The narrative unfolds within the hallowed halls of Walt Disney Animation Studios in Burbank, California, as the workday draws to a close. We witness Disney Legend Burny Mattinson, the longest-serving employee of The Walt Disney Company for an astounding 70 years (may he rest in peace as of 2023), as he becomes the last person to exit the premises. The story takes an enchanting turn as Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse spring to life from a framed picture, gathering a remarkable assembly of 541 other characters to capture an official 100th-anniversary portrait.

Mattinson wasnโ€™t the only Disney Legend to share his time and talents with theย Once Upon a Studioย filmmakers. As Abraham and Correy contemplated the musical cue that would accompany a tender moment in which Mickey expresses gratitude to a portrait of Walt Disney, they knew it had to be something special in keeping with that emotional moment.

There was only one song that fit the bill: โ€œFeed the Birds,โ€ by Disney Legends Richard Sherman and Robert Sherman. And so, on a Friday afternoon in August 2022, Abraham and Correy joined Richard in the very same place where he and his brother would regularly perform the lullaby for Walt.

โ€œItโ€™s very nice to be back in Waltโ€™s office. Itโ€™s just the way it was when I was much younger and Walt was here; pianoโ€™s the same,โ€ Richard says in a behind-the-scenes featurette, streaming on Disney+. โ€œWaltโ€™s not here, but his spiritโ€™s here.โ€

Friends Stars Remember Matthew Perry

It is with heavy hearts and tearful eyes that the world bid farewell to the talented actor, Matthew Perry, who passed away at the age of 54. Perry, best known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on the hit TV series “Friends,” left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment and in the hearts of millions of fans worldwide. Over the past 24 hours, millions have taken to social media to express the impact of the show and the Perry’s work on their lives. The cast of the iconic show are sharing their reactions.

Matthew Perry was more than just an actor; he was a force of charisma and charm, wrapped in a bundle of wit and humor. Perry’s portrayal of Chandler was nothing short of brilliant, and it’s the reason we all fell in love with the character and the man behind it.

Chandler’s sarcastic one-liners, his unique blend of humor and vulnerability, and his eternal bromance with Joey Tribbiani (played by Matt LeBlanc) were just a few of the many reasons why Chandler Bing became an iconic character on “Friends.” Matthew Perry’s impeccable timing and delivery, his ability to convey the struggles and triumphs of the character, and his endearing smile made Chandler unforgettable.

We loved Chandler Bing because he was relatable. He was the person we turned to when we needed a laugh, a friend who could make us feel better with a witty remark or a shoulder to cry on when we needed a genuine heart-to-heart. Chandler embodied the essence of friendship, and his character resonated with so many of us. He taught us that it’s okay to be flawed, to use humor as a shield, and to embrace the journey of self-discovery.

Maggie Wheeler who played “Janice” on the show shared via Instagram, “What a loss. The world will miss you Mathew Perry. The joy you brought to so many in your too-short lifetime will live on. I feel so very blessed by every creative moment we shared. โ™ฅ๏ธ”

The official Friends account on X (Formerly Twitter) shared, “We are devastated to learn of Matthew Perryโ€™s passing. He was a true gift to us all. Our heart goes out to his family, loved ones, and all of his fans.”

Even heads of state are weighing in on the loss of this beloved talent. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who grew up with Perry shared via X, “Matthew Perryโ€™s passing is shocking and saddening. Iโ€™ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play, and I know people around the world are never going to forget the joy he brought them. Thanks for all the laughs, Matthew. You were loved โ€“ and you will be missed.”

Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer wrote in aย statement to Peopleย on Monday. โ€œWe are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but right now weโ€™re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss. In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Mattyโ€™s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.โ€

Friends Stars Remember the Late Matthew Perry

Matthew Perry’s legacy as an actor and a person will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of fans all over the world. In the end, it’s not just the character of Chandler Bing we loved; it’s the incredible talent and genuine warmth that Matthew Perry brought to the role.

As we say goodbye to Matthew Perry, we remember the countless moments of laughter and tears he gave us through his portrayal of Chandler Bing. Yet we remember his resilience, his kindness, and his ability to make us feel like we were a part of the “Friends” family. Perry was an immense talent, but more importantly he was a flawed human being who did his best to make his mark on the world, in spite of his own failings.

He was, and always will be, a true friend to us all. Rest in peace, Matthew Perry, and thank you for the laughter, the wisdom, and the endless joy you shared with the world. You will be dearly missed, but your legacy will live on in the hearts of all who loved and admired you.

The Thunderbirds Soared Over Walt Disney World in Tribute to Veterans

For the first time ever, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds showcased their exceptional aerial skills over two major theme parks in Central Florida: Magic Kingdom Park and EPCOT. This impressive flyover at Walt Disney World Resort kicked off National Veterans and Military Families Month, a time dedicated to honoring those who have selflessly served the nation.

The Thunderbirds, also known as “Americaโ€™s Team”, announced their presence with a roaring pass over the Magic Kingdom, then swiftly moved to EPCOT. Onlookers were treated to a second spectacle as the jets made another pass over the Magic Kingdomโ€™s Cinderella Castle, ending with their signature delta maneuver, reminiscent of a spectacular fireworks display.

This flyover aligns with Disneyโ€™s long-standing tradition of supporting the U.S. Armed Forces. To further celebrate this month of recognition, Disney has released a special line of military-inspired merchandise. For a limited period, these items will be available at select Disney resorts, including the Emporium at both Magic Kingdom Park and Disneyland, Elias & Co. at Disneyโ€™s California Adventure park, and the World of Disney at Downtown Disney in California.

Disney-Military-Inspired-Merchandise

Over the past century, The Walt Disney Company has consistently shown its gratitude to veterans and their families through various gestures like military discounts and daily flag ceremonies at their resorts. Furthermore, since 2012, Disney has generously contributed over $20 million to nonprofits aimed at supporting veterans and their families.

Let’s join hands in appreciating the sacrifices and contributions of all military personnel and veterans to our great nation.
