Ears the News with Richard

The 'Canadian Lumberjack Show' will debut at Epcot’s Canada Pavilion week beginning October 5 2014.
Produced by the Florida based Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, the new experience takes the place of Off Kilter as the Canada Pavilion’s live entertainment act.
According to the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show website, “The Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show is similar to an Old Time Lumberjack Show and a great family entertainment, matched by none. In the Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show or Timber Show, we use quality lumberjack competitors, also known as Timberjacks from around the world. The Paul Bunyan Lumberjacks are also the same lumberjacks you see on the Stihl Timber Sports Series, ESPN, and TNN. So if you are looking for a great Timber Show with real tough Lumberjacks also known as Ironjacks, The Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show, is the type of Old Time Lumberjack Show / FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT you want.”
Paul Bunyan Lumberjack Show has previously worked with Disney during private events, and brings over 28 years of performing experience.
Disney has not yet released any details or confirmed the new act.

The newly relocated Wandering Oakens trading Post and Frozen Snowground is now open at Disney's Hollywood Studios on the Streets of America.
Taking the space of the former AFI Film Institute Showcase at the exit of the now closed Studio Backlot Tour, guests can shop for Frozen merchandise, play in real snow, and buy Frozen themed treats.
The original Wandering Oakens that opened in Soundstage One as part of Frozen Summer Fun has now closed. The ice skating rink from the original is not available in the new Streets of American location.


Beginning September 30 2014, Disney Gift Cards will be undergoing a couple of changes.

First, the minimum amount that can be applied to activate a Disney Gift Card will be $15, up from the previous minimum of $5. The minimum reload amount will remain at $5 however.
A new visual look will also be introduced for the basic Mickey card, along with a new text banner. You will still be able to choose from a huge range of Disney Gift Cards at the website.

With the closure of Kouzzina by Cat Cora at the BoardWalk, the Flying Fish Cafe will be offering breakfast for a limited time.

Breakfast service will be available from 7:30 AM to 11:00 AM, October 1 to December 7 2014, with reservations available. Once Trattoria al Forno opens, which will be the replacement for Kouzzina, the Flying Fish will return to dinner service only.

5 Ways To Get Psyched For Your Disney Trip!

Hey-Howdy-Hey, Disney Guys and Gals!      Is anyone familiar with Barney Stinson's "Get Psyched" Mix? Anyone? How I Met your Mother Fans? Ok, great! So you totally get where I'm going with this! If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can watch a clip  HERE!  Basically, the theory is that no matter what's going on in your life, you can get yourself psyched up and ready for something awesome to happen, all by listening to the right piece of music. Playing off of that theory, I feel that one of the very best things about a Disney trip is actually  preparing  for it, or getting psyched! You can have a whole bunch of crappy stuff happening in your life at the time, but if you have a Disney trip on the horizon... even if it's 564 days away, you have something to look forward to and enjoy preparing yourself for. In fact, many Disney fans, (myself included), pretty much get from one day to the next by preparing for upcoming trips. You may even book a ne

Mythos Restaurant at Universal's Islands of Adventure

Located on The Lost Continent of Universal's Islands of Adventure, Mythos is an award-winning, full-service restaurant that offers an otherworldly experience. If you've ever been to Universal's Islands of Adventure, you've undoubtedly walked by this restaurant with its towering rock formations, waterfalls and ancient figures carved into the side of the building. The restaurant has been calling to me for years and I was finally able to give it a try. When you enter the restaurant, it feels like you've entered a cavernous grotto from another world. There are oceanic and mythical touches throughout the indoor dining room and there's also outdoor seating with great views of the park.

Universal's Volcano Bay Private Cabana Review

On a recent training in Universal Orlando Resort, agents Maci, Ashley, Aubrey and Yaritza and I rented a private cabana for the day at Universal's Volcano Bay. There are multiple locations around the park along with the option to have an upper or lower level, all of which reflect in various pricing. Agent Ashley received an email the day before informing her of where to check-in the next morning. While we were personally escorted to the cabana shortly after check in, the line at the check in location is the same as those getting towels, meaning it was not short. As expressed by an additional guest checking into a different cabana, we would have greatly appreciated a separate line, since this caused our group about a half hour wait. We're all adults and made great use of our time getting some fun pictures before the park was filled with guests, but this is important to be aware of if you are traveling with children.  We had an upper level Cabana which came with a splendid view!
