Due to the cold weather, Volcano Bay was closed. Florida weather is so unpredictable.

Shrek 4-D is closing very soon, so we’re trying to get a few more showings before it’s gone forever.

This Chocolate Orange fudge looks good! It’s available at Island Market and Export Candy Shoppe. The fudge is made in-house, so it’s always fresh and delicious. They’ve been getting a lot of new, creative flavors so we’re excited to see what’s next.

Construction walls and scrims have gone back up around the High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride track so that work can resume on Caro-Seuss-el. We could even see workers out on the roof of the attraction.

Team Members working at the Raptor Encounter are now dressed in the same style as the VelociCoaster attractions Team Members. This wardrobe and the Jurassic World ID tags help create a more immersive experience when visiting Blue and the other girls.

There’s no line for a drink at the Watering Hole, but you might be waiting a while for pizza from Pizza Predattoria.

There’s typically a sign here in Port of Entry, but we noticed it’s missing now. We’re hoping it’s just getting refreshed and will return soon.
