Theme Park Updates // Floridians Guide


So many guest and locals loved electric ocean so much it has been extended! It is offcially ending for every night tomorrow (August 5th). But you can see Saturday nights through the month of August. Make sure you try all the specialty food and drinks for Electric Ocean. They also opened a new craft beer bar and annual pass holders get a free beer through the month of August.

The Great Movie Ride and Ellen's Energy Adventure both close permanently on August 13th. The reason is for new attractions to be built and welcomed into the parks. If you have the time look up or watch the D23 theme park announcement to see all the changed coming to Walt Disney World Resort. There are still fast passes available for both attractions at this time. The Slinky Dog coaster has put its last piece of track on the coaster and now they are just waiting for the car to come in to put onto the new Toy Story Land attraction. Toy Story Land will be opening Summer of 2018.



Universal's Islands of Adventure will be saying goodbye to Dragon Challenge (formally known as Dueling Dragons) on September 4th. There is still some time to ride this attraction but it is very sad to see a ride that has been there since Islands of Adventure opened and beloved by so many closing. It is located in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and there will be a new Harry Potter attraction replacing Dragon Challenge.

Let me tell you I could just ride it all day long. It is honestly mind blowing and I have never experienced a ride like it before. I was lucky enough to ride it twice in the same day as well as the Tron Lightcycle Coaster. However I do prefer the pirates ride over the tron. ride.  The castle is so huge and beautiful and I had to put a picture of me in front of it. Now below is the video of my day there minus the Royal Banquet Hall which I will do a separate post on. I just would like to warn some travelers about some of the things I noticed there. Shanghai Disney people do not really under stand line...

GeekyCon 2016 Highlights

Meeting Maxwell Glick and Jon Cozart after the Disney sing-a-long after being on stage with them during a Tangled song and being in the front row dancing with them, two very sweet gentleman and I'm so happy I got to meet them and getting some youtube advise from Mr. Cheezypop himself! At the Charity ball I got to meet Ty Simpkins who is from Jurassic World and the Insidious films. He was also very sweet and nice of him to come out of the V.I.P area to interact with his fans and take photos for free and have nice conversations with everyone. That same night after the dance was the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child midnight release party! Potter Puppet Pals did a show, there was real life wizard chess, quid ditch matches, costume contests, being sorted by the sorting hat, and much more to do.
