  • Sophie: Coming back to Hollywood Studios – The Sorcerer’s Hat! Disney announced that “The hat is coming to “The Magic of Disney Animation,” a new transformation at Star Wars: Launch Bay. This new space will invite guests to experience the magic of Disney animation through drawing classes, a playground inspired by Mary Blair’s concept art from Alice in Wonderland, and watch portraits come to life before their eyes.”
  • Mike: Congratulations to the team for the Disney series Andor, which racked up an amazing 14 Emmy Nominations for season 2, including Outstanding Drama Series. I’ve got to tell you, the scenes and acting in the scenes for the massacre at Ghorman were so riveting, you could feel the tension through the screen.

• Question of the Week Feedback:
  • What is your favorite Disney movie (Continued)?
    • Randy said: “The Apple Dumpling gang movie, Pete’s dragon”
    • Paula said: “This is tough, there are so many to choose from. I am going to say Beauty and the Beast for a more classic one and Encanto for a more recent one.”
    • Sheila said “My favorite Disney Movie is Snow White. I also really enjoyed the recent movie of Elio.”
    • Pam said: “Up is my first one. It always reduces me to tears every time I watch the tender love between Carl and Ellie. It reminds me of my own 45+ year marriage still going strong. My second favorite is The Parent Trap. I have watched it so many times and love it like it’s the first time every time I watch. Choosing favorites was so hard because I love most all Disney movies.”
