Haunted Forest Apple Mousse is a Beautiful Treat that Misses the Mark

We were finally able to try the Wilderness Lodge’s Haunted Forest Apple Mousse

The Haunted Forest Apple Mousse, available at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, is one of the resort-specific Halloween treats available at Walt Disney World this year. Since this treat is only available at Wilderness Lodge, you will need to leave the parks and head over to Roaring Fork to experience the snack. We recently tried the dessert, and have our review ready for you.

The first impression of the Haunted Forest Apple Mousse is simply wow, as it truly looks like a world of art. The dessert, which seems to have been plucked directly from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, features Green Cake with Cookies and Cream Mousse and Sour Apple Mousse.

Unfortunately, we did not find the taste of the snack to live up to its looks. The apple on top, which contains the sour apple mousse, was quite tasty. The icing on the cake, which provides aesthetic appeal, was a bit thick through the bite and had a licorice-like taste.

Netflix Increases its Prices on Basic and Premium Plans

Netflix Increases its Prices

Netflix Increases its Prices on Basic and Premium Plans

Netflix recently made significant changes to its subscription offerings in Canada, the US, and UK. In Canada, they eliminated the “Basic” tier, which costs $10 per month and provides an ad-free experience at an affordable price. However, in the US and UK, Netflix has also done away with their cheapest ad-free plan. As a result, new Netflix subscribers now face a choice between accepting ads or dealing with a substantial cost increase.

This adjustment has further widened the gap between Netflix’s ad-free and ad-supported subscription tiers, putting the onus on users to determine where their preferences lie. Furthermore, Netflix has officially raised the prices for its Premium plans and the existing Basic plans. Subscribers on the Basic plan will now pay $11.99 instead of the previous $9.99, while those on the Premium Plan will see their monthly cost increase from $19.99 to $22.99.

Netflix Increases its Prices
netflix

Following the discontinuation of the Basic plan, Netflix in the US now offers three subscription tiers. To begin, there’s the Standard with Ads plan priced at $6.99 per month. This is a lower cost compared to the former Basic plan, but it now includes advertisements. The Standard plan from Netflix is available at $15.49 per month, representing a significant price hike. Meanwhile, the Premium plan, which previously had a $20 per month price tag, will also experience a price increase, now standing at $22 per monthโ€”twice the cost of the now-discontinued Basic tier.

In light of these recent changes in Netflix’s subscription offerings, it’s becoming increasingly evident that the once-alluring advantages of cutting the cable cord are beginning to fade. While streaming services initially emerged as cost-effective alternatives, the gradual price escalation across the industry is shifting the landscape. Netflix’s decision to eliminate its Basic tier and raise prices on other plans, coupled with the introduction of ads in lower-cost tiers, highlights a broader trend across streaming platforms.

Netflix Increases its Prices

As households find themselves paying premium prices for content across multiple subscriptions, the lines between cable and streaming are becoming increasingly blurred. Consumers now face a more complex decision-making process, weighing the cost of individual subscriptions against the convenience and variety they offer. In this evolving digital entertainment landscape, the quest for balance between content quality and affordability remains paramount.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the recent changes in Netflix’s pricing and subscription tiers. How do these alterations impact your streaming choices, and do you think it’s time for a reevaluation of the value streaming services provide?

The Rocketeer Returning as a Disney+ Movie

The Rocketeer Returning as a Disney+ Movie

The Rocketeer celebrated its 30th anniversary last year, a film that, few would have known given the lackluster treatment of this cult classic. This Disney movie, directed by Joe Johnston, made its debut in 1991. It was set in the late 1930s in Los Angeles and revolved around the story of stunt pilot Cliff Secord, played by Billy Campbell, and his endeavors with a rocket-powered jet pack for the greater good.

Despite its potential for launching a movie franchise at the time, The Rocketeer is making a comeback in the present, according to a report from Deadline. Disney is revisiting this world with a new movie on Disney+, although it’s unclear whether it will retain the title “The Return of the Rocketeer.”

The Rocketeer Returning as a Disney+ Movie

It’s a welcome sight to witness The Rocketeer’s return to the silver screen. The film’s lead actors, Campbell and Jennifer Connelly, were originally contracted for at least one sequel. However, Disney abandoned the idea of additional movies following The Rocketeer’s modest box office success. We initially caught wind of this Rocketeer reboot back in 2021, and it has remained shrouded in silence until now.

The production of the Rocketeer film will be overseen by David and Jessica Oyelowo through their Yoruba Saxon banner. Brigham Taylor will also serve as a producer, while Mortal Media takes on the role of executive producer. David Oyelowo, known for his roles in “Selma” and “The Lion Guard,” will take on the lead role as the Rocketeer in this project.

The Rocketeer’s revival promises an exciting new chapter for this cult classic. Are you excited to see this heroic character soar once more? Share your thoughts on the return of The Rocketeer!
