Celebrate World Tapas Day at Jaleo Disney Springs

World Tapas Day is just around the corner, and there’s no better place to indulge in this celebration of Catalan-style dining than Jaleo at Disney Springs. Led by the renowned chef and culinary icon, José Andrés, Jaleo has become a destination for those seeking authentic and innovative tapas in the United States. If you have not yet had the chance to experience Jaleo, World Tapas Day (June 15th, 2023) provides the perfect opportunity for you to do so!

World Tapas Day celebrates the history and popularity of the traditional Catalan-style of dining. Jaleo’s chef and international culinary icon, José Andrés, was instrumental in bringing this unique dining style to the United States. Since his arrival from Spain in 1993, he has used his popularity and restaurants around the country to educate and introduce the small-plate format to diners. At Jaleo, Andrés takes tapas to new and modern applications, while also embracing traditional tapa dishes.

Guests can enjoy Tapas at Jaleo, featuring dishes like Gambas al Ajillo (shrimp sautéed with garlic) and Berenjenas con Miel (fried eggplant with honey and lemon zest). Additional fan-favorites include Patatas Bravas and Pan con Tomate. Tapas are best paired with Jaleo’s selection of superb sangrias and signature cocktails, like its signature Salt Air Margarita.

You also don’t want to miss out on Sangria hour, occurring from 4 pm to 6 pm daily!

Disney Working on Adding New Tower to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Construction on Tiana’s Bayou Adventure continues to take shape, and later this summer, a tiara-topped water tower emblazoned with the Tiana’s Foods logo will make its way to Magic Kingdom.

We got over to the parks to get some images. So let us take a Photo tour of how construction is going at the old Splash Mountain, now the Southern Dome Salt Company.

Above you can see construction is almost complete at the bottom of the drop. New rock work has been installed and Imagineers added some touches and paint.

Central look at all the scaffolding in place for the new Tiara Topped Watertower due to be installed this summer.

Two Amazing Flavors of Spring Rolls Now Available at the Magic Kingdom. It takes us time to get through all the various snack carts, quick service dining, treats, and dining locations. We find it hard sometimes to find time to go back and try things again especially when it is a favorite.

Spring Roll Cart in Adventureland has become a go-to spot for many people looking to get a quick bite to eat at a reasonable price—$ 9.50 for 2 Spring Rolls. The menu right now is still the Cheeseburger Spring Roll, and the 50th Anniversary (renamed) Pastrami and Pepperjack.

We got 1 of each and a Coke to enjoy on a beautiful day in Magic Kingdom. Eating a Spring Roll, while sitting on the Hub Grass, staring at Cinderella Castle, made for a perfect early afternoon. The Festival of Fantasy parade was making its rounds as we noshed.

Are you a Spring Roll Cart fan? If so what flavor do you like, or would like to see return?

Star Wars Outlaws will provide a new frontier for gamers in a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Star Wars Survivor continues to captivate gamers and Star Wars fans all around the world. I personally am deeply engulfed in the latest adventures of Cal Kestis and have spent more hours so far playing the game than I care to admit. I have, at times, wished I could explore the game more via an open-world format. It turns out the fine folks at Ubisoft must have been listening, as the trailer for the open-world Star Wars Outlaws has been released!

During the Xbox Showcase, Lucasfilm Games dropped the bombshell trailer for Star Wars Outlaws, an open-world game set in the Star Wars universe. The trailer unveiled a visually stunning landscape, capturing the iconic atmosphere and aesthetic that fans have come to expect from the Star Wars universe.

The Ubisoft game, which will be available on Xbox, Playstation, and PC, will be the first-ever open-world Star Wars game and will be set between the events of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. As an open-world game, Star Wars Outlaws grants players the freedom to navigate the galaxy at their own pace.

According to the description that accompanied the trailer, players will be able to “Explore distinct planets across the galaxy, both iconic and new. Risk it all as Kay Vess, an emerging scoundrel seeking freedom and the means to start a new life, along with her companion Nix. Fight, steal, and outwit your way through the galaxy’s crime syndicates as you join the galaxy’s most wanted.”

Star Wars Outlaws is slated to drop sometime in 2024, with additional information on the game expected at the Ubisoft Forward Live event later today.

Disney Reveals New ‘Once Upon A Studio’ Short at Annecy Film Festival

During the opening ceremony of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, Disney revealed a new short film titled “Once Upon A Studio.” This nine-minute masterpiece commemorates Disney’s 100th anniversary and showcases a remarkable ensemble of over 400 Disney characters. The beloved Genie, voiced by the late Robin Williams, and Olaf, portrayed by Josh Gad, take center stage alongside iconic figures such as Tiana, Peter Pan, Moana, Maui, Merlin, Elsa, Goofy, Winnie The Pooh, and Flash the Sloth from Zootopia.

Expressing his enthusiasm, Gad took to Instagram to share his excitement about the short’s premiere at Annecy. He revealed, “Now that it’s premiered at Annecy, I’m so thrilled for the world to finally witness what @DisneyAnimation has created to honor the extraordinary 100-year legacy of the studio. I was almost moved to tears when I discovered that Olaf would appear alongside The Genie, incorporating previously unreleased audio of my idol #RobinWilliams.”

Additionally, the short film pays tribute to the late Burny Mattinson, a renowned animator who passed away earlier this year. Mattinson makes a cameo appearance, adding to the emotional depth and nostalgia of the production.

“Once Upon A Studio” is directed by Dan Abraham and Trent Correy. Eric Goldberg lead the hand-drawn animation for the short, while “Raya and the Last Dragon” supervising animator Andrew Feliciano oversaw the CG.

“This is a love letter to the medium, to Disney animation, and really a thank you to anyone in the audience that’s ever connected with a film over the last hundred years,” said director Dan Abraham.

“Once Upon A Studio” will be released, alongside an upcoming theatrical release, “Wish,” which arrives in theaters on November 22, 2023.
