‼️Big news continued‼️
I had the privilege of previewing Universal EPIC UNIVERSE, Orlando's first major theme park to debut in 26 years. This outstanding park is poised to become a favorite among theme park enthusiasts! It is composed of five unique Universes. The main entrance is through Kronos, the portal into the Celestial Universe. Four additional portals lead to the other distinct Universes.
The portals are:
🪐💫Celestial Universe
✨🔮The Wizarding World of Harry Potter- The Ministry of Magic,
🛡️How to Train Your Drago- Isle of Berk, and
🪦⚰️Dark Universe where all of the classic monsters from Universal call home.

Universal Epic Universe offers diverse experiences for all!
Let's explore SUPER NINTENDO UNIVERSE.
As soon as you enter the portal, you begin “powering up” (on an escalator)to the next level through a neon green tube!
You’ve been transported into Super Mario’s world where you will find:
Princess Peach’s Castle, which houses a giftshop filled with all things NINTENDO!
Yoshi’s Adventure - a ride even the smallest family members will enjoy! A slow-paced ride where you press buttons when you find the correct colored egg as you ride along the path.
Bowser’s Castle where Bowser’s Challenge (a ride that puts YOU in the game!)
You may also get to meet and greet
-Mario and Luigi
-Princess Peach in her gazebo
Or
-Toad
There are two food options in this section of the park. A quick bite counter, and the adorable Toad Stool Cafe where you will find a good selection of menu items to choose from- many of them Mario themed😃
The next part of the Super Nintendo Universe is DONKEY KONG COUNTRY
On Mine Cart Madness you can try to help Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong save the golden bananas as you race through the jungle in a rickety mine cart! -You might even get to see the hieroglyphs left by of Donkey Kong’s ancestors!
You can also get a giant dessert in a barrel from the Bubbly Barrel
Also, meet the Gorilla himself at the Donkey Kong meet and greet!

‼️Officially opening May 22, 2025‼️

🩵There are also THREE brand new resort hotels to experience!🩵🩵🩵

During the course of recording the voices for "Aladdin" (1992), Robin Williams improvised so much they had almost sixteen hours of material. Because Williams ad-libbed so many of his lines, the script was rejected for a Best Adapted Screenplay Academy Award nomination.
During script and storyboard development, the writers were already considering Robin Williams for the role of the Genie but had not approached him for the project. In order to convince Williams to do the role, supervising animator Eric Goldberg animated the Genie doing several minutes of Williams's stand-up routines, including parts from his album "Reality... What A Concept," and screened it for him. Williams was so impressed that he signed almost immediately.
While recording this movie, Williams frequently received calls from Steven Spielberg, who at the time was working on the Holocaust film "Schindler's List" (1993). He would put him on speaker phone so he could tell jokes to the cast and crew to cheer them up. Some of the material that he used was material that he was using for this film.
Williams provided the voice for the Genie at union scale rate (the lowest legal pay rate a studio can give an actor), on the provisos that his voice was not used for merchandising (i.e. toys and such), and that the Genie character not take up more than 25% of the space of a poster, ad, billboard, or trailer. When these wishes were not granted, he withdrew his support for Disney and the film. As a result, his name was not included in "The Art of Aladdin" book (it makes constant references to "the voice of the Genie"), and he was not available for the direct-to-video sequel "Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar" (1994) or the 1994 "Aladdin" TV show (Dan Castellaneta filled in as the voice of the Genie for these productions). In an attempt to get back on good terms with Williams, Walt Disney CEO Michael Eisner apologized to him with a peace offering of an original Pablo Picasso painting. Still angered and feeling betrayed by Disney, Williams would not accept the gift. It was not until Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg was fired and replaced by Joe Roth that Williams returned to Disney. Through Roth, a public apology was given. Promises to right wrongs were kept, and Williams was so touched that he returned to reprise his role as the Genie for the second direct-to-video sequel, "Aladdin and the King of Thieves" (1996). Disney was so thrilled that they threw out the previously completed recording sessions with Castellaneta. (IMDb)
Happy Birthday, Robin Williams!
