Xandarian Nova Corps Star Blaster

I love Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. It is my favorite roller coaster at any Disney Park. This Xandarian Nova Corps Star Blaster is docked in front of the ride building.

It's Mama Odie!

Disney

The new animatronic characters for Tiana's Bayou Adventure are amazing. They are so smooth and realistic. Recently, Jennifer Lewis, the voice of Mama Odie, had her first look at the animatronic character. Her excitement is contagious! 

Tiana's Bayou Adventure opens this summer in Disney World and later this year in Disneyland. 

Jim Henson Idea Man

Disney

The trailer for Jim Henson Idea Man has arrived and it looks amazing. Most of us grew up watching a Jim Henson production: from Sesame Street and The Muppets, to Labyrinth or Dark Crystal, there was something for everyone. I can't wait to watch this DisneyPlus special that goes behind the scenes of Jim's creative life.

Here's the official synopsis from Disney:

"Jim Henson Idea Man" takes us into the mind of this singular creative visionary, from his early years puppeteering on local television to the worldwide success of Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and beyond. Featuring unprecedented access to Jim's personal archives, filmmaker Ron Howard brings us a fascinating and insightful look at a complex man whose boundless imagination inspired the world.

Jim Henson Idea Man arrives on DisneyPlus on May 31st.

Deadpool & Wolverine Trailer

A new trailer for Deadpool & Wolverine has arrived and it is wild. Fair warning, there is a lot of swearing and violence in this trailer, but it's Deadpool, so it's not really a surprise.

Deadpool & Wolverine arrives in theaters on July 26.

Butterfly Landing at EPCOT

I love visiting Butterfly Landing at the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. There are so many different species to see, like this Zebra Longwing.
