ABC Family to Become Freeform in January 2016:


In some recently breaking news this afternoon it was announced that ABC Family a network television channel owned by Disney would be rebranding and have a new name, Freeform, beginning January 2016. Here is the press release:

ABC Family President Tom Ascheim announced today that ABC Family will be renamed and rebranded as Freeform in January 2016. The name, look, feel and attitude of the network will capture the nature of the Becomer audience and the modern way this audience generates and consumes media.
Viewers will be introduced to exciting new and original content while still enjoying their favorite ABC Family shows. Pretty Little LiarsThe FostersYoung and Hungry and Baby Daddy return in early 2016 for their winter premieres alongside the world premieres of new original series Shadowhunters and Recovery Road
The name Freeform speaks to the mindset and attitude of what the channel has defined as Becomers. Becomers are in high school, college and the decade that follows and are navigating the wonderful, fun, exciting and scary time in life when you experience the most firsts—first car, first apartment, first job, first love, first heartbreak—all the firsts that exist between who they are now and who they want to become.
This audience’s identity and experience are fluid as they explore endless possibilities and their passions take shape. Freeform personifies this fluidity and will deliver ideas, forms of content and ways of interacting with the brand. Freeform is inspired by the interconnection between content and audience; media and technology; interactive and linear; life stage and lifestyle and the way Becomers interact with them all. 
Fans are encouraged to check out freeformfan.com to submit photos and videos that creatively express the word “freeform.” Submissions may be used as part of our ongoing launch campaign underscoring the new brand’s essence of collaboration and co-creation of content with our viewers.

A new chocolate shop called, The Ganachery, will be opening later this year in The Landing at Disney Springs. The new shop will take guests on trip with scents of the great aroma of rich chocolate.


The Disney Parks Blog said this on the new shop: 

"Walt Disney World chefs traveled the world to research and create a custom blend chocolate with the finest beans for the all-new concept that will feature freshly made ganache (gəˈnaSH). Ganache is a luxurious mixture of chocolate and cream, and every chef has their own “perfect” formula for the indulgent sweet."

The chocolate will be hand-crafted by a chocolatier and will feature fresh batches daily, including dark (65% custom blend), hazelnut, chipotle, and a custom blend flavored with the world's finest spices and flavors. The chocolate will be wrapped in beautiful custom packaging that will make elegant take home gifts. They also said you could bet that there will be chocolate bars inspired by our favorite Disney characters.

Stay tuned on the future opening of The Ganachery as we can't wait to visit it.
