The rich, robust flavor complements traditions new and old, with sweet, velvety notes of spiced chocolate and spruce tips. Available as whole bean, ground, and decaf.

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.”

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!

Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens welcomes Wekiva Island

Central Florida Zoo announces partnership with Wekiva Island

Nestled on the serene banks of the Wekiva River, Wekiva Island has long cherished Central Florida’s enchanting river otters. Such is the adoration that their very own wine and craft beer lounge is named ‘The Tooting Otter’ in tribute to these water-loving creatures.

This fondness recently took a significant leap forward. In collaboration with the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens, Wekiva Island will proudly sponsor the Zoo’s otter enclosure.

In its role as sponsor, Wekiva Island has made a significant contribution that will sustain the Zoo’s adorable otter, Molly, throughout the year. As a token of appreciation, the Wekiva Island emblem will grace the Zoo premises and its digital portal.

Expressing gratitude, Richard E. Glover, Jr., the Zoo’s CEO remarked, “Wekiva Island has been a pillar of strength and generosity for Seminole County. Their consistent contributions, both in kind and spirit, have been invaluable to our Zoo’s mission. We’re truly honored to have such a committed partner.”

To kick off their official patronage of the otter sanctuary, Wekiva Island is organizing a Seafood Boil fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 21. This delightful event aims to gather funds to ensure Molly’s well-being for the year. Their unwavering support for the Zoo isn’t new; they’ve been integral to events like ‘Brews Around the Zoo’ and even hold esteemed positions on the Zoo board.

Positioned beautifully in Longwood alongside the Wekiva River, Wekiva Island has been a symbol of community spirit in Seminole County for over a decade and a half. Their ethos revolves around sustainability, creativity, and knowledge dissemination. And in 2023, they’ve chosen the Zoo as their charitable focus.

Bill Weinaug, the visionary behind Wekiva Island, shared, “The ethereal beauty of the Wekiva River was our inspiration. And what better way to honor our roots and support the community than by championing the conservation endeavors of the Zoo, especially concerning a creature symbolic of the Wekiva River.”

Much like the waters of Wekiva River, North American river otters, including the Zoo’s Molly, are native to freshwater and coastal marine territories in North America. They epitomize the biodiversity of Central Florida—a treasure both the Zoo and Wekiva Island pledge to safeguard.

About Wekiva Island

Located on the beautiful Wekiva River, Wekiva Island offers visitors the chance to experience the real Florida. The natural attraction features more than 2,000 square feet of entertainment along the riverfront, including activities from canoeing, kayaking and paddle boarding to volleyball and cornhole. Wekiva Island hosts regular monthly events. The Tooting Otter bar offers a selection of craft beer and wine, and Without a Paddle Café serves up a full menu, including for special events.

Guests can also purchase gifts or souvenirs at the General Store. In addition, Wekiva Island features a unique art gallery that showcases natural works from around the world, as well as offers classes, events and more. Corporate meeting space, event venues and private cabana rentals are available at Wekiva Island. Sustainability and a passion for the environment is at the heart of the organization’s mission. Wekiva Island is located at 1014 Miami Springs Drive in Longwood, Florida. For more information, visit wekivaisland.com or call 407-862-1500.

About the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens

Sleeping Beauty Castle Receives Winter Decorations in Disneyland

It may still be October, but Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland has already received winter decorations. Looks like Disneyland is getting started on decorating for the holidays well in advance.

Sleeping Beauty Castle has had snow caps added to its turrets and some of the Disney100 decorations have been removed. The snow caps are added to the castle every year for the holiday season. It seems to be a little early this year as we haven’t even celebrated Halloween yet.

This is just the first step to installing holiday decor at the Disneyland Resort. We will likely see more arrive over the coming weeks as the season begins November 10. The holidays at the Disneyland Resort will run through January 7, 2024.

At Disney California Adventure, the Disney Festival of Holidays will pay homage to a rich tapestry of multicultural music, cuisine, and traditions. In the picturesque Paradise Gardens Park, Disney ¡Viva Navidad! will exuberantly celebrate both Christmas and Three Kings Day with special entertainment, appearances by the beloved Mirabel from “Encanto,” and an array of delectable authentic Mexican dishes.

Radiator Springs undergoes a festive transformation, with Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree taking on the enchanting moniker of Mater’s Jingle Jamboree, and Luigi’s Rollicin’ Roadsters transforming into Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl.

Over at Disneyland Park, you can revel in the enchanting A Christmas Fantasy Parade featuring cherished characters such as Mickey & Friends, the beloved “Frozen” characters, iconic Disney Princesses, and the one and only Santa Claus. Meanwhile, “it’s a small world” will be adorned with its delightful holiday overlay, and the spook-tacular Haunted Mansion Holiday will continue to thrill.

As the night falls, guests will be treated to the mesmerizing “Believe…In Holiday Magic” fireworks display at Disneyland and the captivating “World of Color – Season of Light” show at Disney California Adventure.

The holidays at the Disneyland Resort will run from November 10, 2023 through January 7, 2024. Both theme parks will be decked out in holiday decor and feature festive offerings like holiday parades and nighttime shows. Several rides, along with “it’s a small world”, will receive holiday overlays. Downtown Disney will be transformed into a holiday wonderland as well.
