| When we came across this kiosk in Riverboat Square back in the summer of 2021, we forgot to ask whether the owner was the same young woman that owned the original Pop Gallery located in Downtown Disney West Side. That location, in an alley between the theaters and the bowling alley, was larger than this kiosk but not by much. The original location is now home to doughnut specialist Everglazed. |

| It's been more than a decade since we've visited SeaWorld Orlando but we flew next to it this morning on my Frontier Airlines Atlanta to Orlando flight. You'll find it in the above photo in the middle, center right. We really need to get back out there again; it's a unique product in this city of theme parks. |
 |
| Come on out to Disney Springs this morning (or any morning) and you will spot some snow atop T-REX Cafe! |
 |
| When they said it would be an all female DJ lineup, we knew we had to be there. That was the "Lioness" show last night in Melbourne, a fundraiser for a local women's charity. Pictured: DJ Medley (USA) and DJ ZZ (USA). Saturday night photos are on sister website Orlando Entertainment News HERE. |
 |
| DJ Austin Millz (USA) was the headliner last night at our third and final stop of the evening. You can find all of our Friday night photos on sister website Orlando Entertainment News HERE. |
 |
| "Lioness" roars its beautiful head this Saturday night in downtown Melbourne, featuring an all-female DJ lineup on two stages.

| The Red Coconut Club at Universal CityWalk is morphing into Cursed Coconut Club in time for Mardi Gras. Opening night is Saturday, February 7th which is also the night of the first Mardi Gras concert series event featuring DJ Kaskade (USA). Sister website Orlando Entertainment News plans to visit both. Maybe we'll see you at one or both events! |
 |
| Were you at Mannequins on the final night? The night it got so crowded that the weight of all the patrons on the revolving dance floor caused it to come to a stop? The night the "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" encore played by DJ Peapod (USA) and DJ Dave Cannalte (USA) was heard by the hundreds there and thousands around the world via the internet? Today we reminisce about that night by linking you to our article about from the Final Night as posted back in 2008. LINK |
 |
| All that hair could only mean one person: DJ Nicole Moudaber (LEB/GB). We saw her at our third club stop last night and all the Saturday night pics can be found on our sister website, Orlando Entertainment News HERE. |
 |
| We made the rounds last night with just one of the many highlights being DJ duo Tinzo + Jojo (USA) at Celine. Friday night club pics can be found on sister website Orlando Entertainment News here. |

| The most-seen article in this Blog's history is one that dates back to 2012, near the beginning of the current electronic music boom. It's called "Zedd vs Zed's Dead" and at the time it tried to explain, in a humorous way, the difference between DJ Zedd (D) and DJ duo Zeds Dead (CDN). Back then, there was confusion in the marketplace as to whether they were different people. If you Google the article title, that article comes up. As we go to press, it's been viewed over 36,000 times. Here is the LINK. |

| Let's cross this bridge one more time to beautiful Pleasure Island.....in January 2010. |
 |
| Arriving onto the Island and Celebration Plaza, the "Celebrate Tonight" show would take place on sunny afternoons and evenings. |
 |
| Having reopened after the PI closures, the Laffers Cantina building hosted DJ's upstairs and a full bar downstairs.This was razed during the conversion to Disney Springs and STK now stands roughly in this spot. The Laffers name arises from the Comedy Warehouse club which also stood in this area. |
 |
| Across the walkway, the Adventurers Hut also operated here in front of the still-there but closed Adventurers Club. AC was subsequently renovated to become The Edison. |
 |
| Heading down Hill Street, Orlando Harley-Davidson occupied the spot at The Hub. Lots of memories on beautiful Pleasure Island. |

| Don't have any exciting photos to post from this past weekend's trip to Boston and Providence. No touristic endeavors this trip; was in the area for a birthday party. This is my rental car. For unknown reasons, much of the Hertz fleet in Boston carry Florida tags. They must get a deal in Florida. |
 |
| Just like in Florida, U.S. 1 is a major thoroughfare but I-95 carries the bulk of traffic. |
 |
| Hotel window view on Sunday morning. A few inches had fallen overnight. |
 |
| Rental cars up north come with a combination ice scraper and snow brush. The latter was much-needed. |
 |
| Rental car fill-up at Gulf. |
 |
| Hotel window view on Monday morning after another 5". |
 |
| The aircraft required deicing before we could head back to sunny Florida. Hope to be more of a tourist next visit. |

| One of the original stores to open in Disney Springs in May, 2016, Francesca’s is reportedly closing their Disney Springs Town Center store as part of a nationwide closing of over 400 locations. We don't yet have a closing date but it supposedly imminent. As part of a shopping mall, these things are to be expected. |
 |
| The 4th edition of the House of Mouse Expo is returning this year and the announced dates are Friday, July 31 through Sunday, August 2. And it will be taking place at the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista, a short walk from Disney Springs. The first edition had a Pleasure Island Rewind too! More information to follow and we'll keep you updated. |
 |
| I know we published this back in 2017 but not sure if we published it more recently. If you're ever wondering the entertainers playing on the various stages in Disney Springs or you're going to be out there and want to know who will be performing that night, there is a weekly schedule published and you can find it HERE. |
