The latest happenings at Disney, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld and other Central Florida attractions.
 Tuesday, Feb 20 Normally, the attraction is often forgotten amid the princesses and roller coaster or an afterthought unless a tourist is scouting for an escape in the hot sun for an air conditioned theater. But on Presidents Day, some come to pay special tribute. |
| The longtime Orlando attraction used its in-house creative team to form Stompin' Gator, inspired by monster trucks and swamp buggies |
|
| World Showcase attraction enhanced with digital sound and sights, including additions to montage of famed Americans and the "Golden Dream" anthem |
|
| New slide at SeaWorld's water park will have manta-inspired elements, park's first launch system |
|
| Animal Kingdom's Flight of Passage has posted unprecedented high stand-by wait times that haven't diminished, instead getting longer since it opened — something unheard of for a new Disney ride, an analyst says. |
|
| Disney World will soon be connected to a new solar farm, ten times larger than the current Hidden Mickey solar farm near Epcot. |
|
| The Service Trades Council said Disney refuses to give employees $1,000 bonuses until the union approves a new contract with Disney. |
|
| Disney Wonder received the most accolades from the annual Cruise Critic Cruisers' Choice Awards although Disney Dream and Disney Fantasy also fared well. |
|
| A new trailer for "Incredibles 2" shows Mr. Incredible taking over parenting duties while Elastigirl pursues a career as a superhero. |
|
| "Black Panther" crushes records for Presidents Day weekend, eclipsing "Deadpool" and climbing to No. 5 on the list of biggest opening weekends of all time. |
|
| Expect more Pixar-themed rides and thrills this summer at Disney theme parks in California and Florida. |
|
| The Toy Story Land area at Disney's Hollywood Studios, based on the Pixar film series, will feature two family-friendly rides — Slinky Dog Dash and Alien Swirling Saucers — and open June 30. |
|
| Those who closely follow the theme park industry had been expecting Universal Orlando Resort to raise prices immediately after Walt Disney World Resort increased the rates for tickets and annual passes, including those for Florida residents, effective Feb. 11. |
|
| It's totally unfair to say things have come apart at the Orange County Regional History Center. But you might see evidence of that now that the traveling exhibit called "Things Come Apart" has arrived. |
|
| Learn about Fred Rogers, star of 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,' through a Rollins College tour that runs Tuesday through March 20. |
|
| "State of Excellence," with works from private Florida collectors, is on view at Orlando Museum of Art. |
|
| IAAPA leader Paul Noland will become the CEO of accesso on April 9. |
|
| A new Weekend of the Arts, logo, hashtag, slogan and banners are among the ways Winter Park is keeping arts and culture in the spotlight. |
|
| The increase will vary by park and day since Disney offers a three-tiered system for peak, regular and value tickets. Annual passes are also on the rise. |
|
| Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (and the new Mickey ride) are set to open at Disney World in 2019 |
