News and Rumors are gathered from various different websites. One particular website is not favored over another. All rumors are rumors and are to be taken with a grain of salt.


News

  • The Princess Tiana Showboat Jubilee officially starts tomorrow. To check out a sneak peak, watch this video from fellow podcaster, Lou Mongello. Showtimes will be 12:15pm, 2:00pm and 3:45pm.

This show is expected to take place during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Parties and is to kick off Nov. 10th.
  • The recently announced ESPN Innovention Lab is now officially up and running at the Wide World of Sports.
