The theme parks will use digital mapping techniques and high-power projection systems to project the images and videos onto the building surfaces. All in all, that sounds Continue reading Disney World Vacations – “Let the Memories Begin” Projection As I mentioned in my previous Orlando Vacation Store blog, SeaWorld isn’t doing too well lately; 350 employees will be laid off, 129 of them in Orlando. They will be notified this week, and the layoffs are effective immediately. The company’s headquarters and three theme parks are located in Orlando, where Universal Orlando Resort has had its best quarter since its opening; many people are Continue reading SeaWorld – Layoffs in Effect this Week Universal Orlando Resort reported that its attendance in October was 36 percent higher than last year’s October- this year has been the strongest quarter since the park’s opening about 20 years ago.

And get this- every single mix is made from scratch. The menu itself is an explorer’s journal, with Disney images from around the world sketched onto its pages. “We’ve just introduced a brand new beverage menu that tells a story of beverage innovation and quality,” said Stuart McGuire, the manager of Continue reading Disney – New Cocktail Menu I remember when Downtown Disney had the Pleasure Island section- a dazzling world of clubs and restaurants, colorful lights and loud music. Not all that recently, Disney World closed all the clubs, replacing them with stores and restaurants. And now it seems that Downtown Disney is planning for another transformation- the Pleasure Island area will soon be called Hyperion Wharf.
