Fall lineup for Eat to the Beat at EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival announced

Ten new acts have been added to the mix of performers for the 2008 Food & Wine festival Eat To The Beat concerts at Epcot. Eight of last years acts will be returning. It’s definitely time for some new blood and the new acts are quite an eclectic group. They are: Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, En Vogue, Jonny Lang, Peabo Bryson, Sister Hazel, Spyro Gyra, Boyz II men, Night Ranger, Atlanta Rhythm Section and Los Lobos.

They might have to add extra seats to the America Gardens Theatre (and a dance floor for BBVD). I predict a wildly popular season.

The current schedule of performance dates is below the cut. (Subject to change at any moment, of course.)

This format suits my style perfectly and I hope to be able to provide you with some great video postcards… Read More »Botswana Dancers at Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival 2005

Morning Round Up – July 9th

Ratatouille brought in a very tasty $29 million at the box office this weekend placing it second behind that 80’s toy film. That puts the latest film from Pixar over the $115 million mark with hardly any worldwide box office included. The real competition opens this week with Harry Potter returning to his wizardly ways… Read More »Morning Round Up – July 9th

The Sun Over the Parking Lot

There’s not a lot of magic in level concrete. Considering that the parking lot often serves as the launching point to the theme parks, it is only grudgingly that we accept it as such. It also serves as a stark reminder of reality. Guests visiting Disney’s conservation-themed Animal Kingdom, for instance, first wade through acres… Read More »The Sun Over the Parking Lot
