New Restaurant at Disney Springs Opening Summer 2016; The Lion Guard Teaser; and More

New Restaurant at Disney Springs Opening Summer 2016:

Homecoming: Florida Kitchen and Southern Shine will bring farm-to-fork cuisine to Disney Springs in Summer 2016. Celebrity Chef Art Smith will be bringing his Florida roots to Disney Springs at Walt Disney World.

Chef Smith is most known for years as Oprah's chef or his appearances on "Iron Chef America," "Top Chef," and "Top Chef Masters." He is a James Beard Foundation award winner and he was born in Jasper, FL. His family still raises cattle, pecans, and heirloom vegetables there. Oh yeah, Smith attended Florida State University and did a culinary internship with the Walt Disney World College Program.

The menu is like a Homecoming for Smith and will feature homemade pimento cheese, Church Lady deviled eggs, low country shrimp and grits, kale salad with Sweet Grass Dairy cheese and spiced pecans, and a grilled Blackstrap pork chop with sawmill gravy. He told the Disney Parks Blog, "Each dish has a Florida twist and makes guests feel like they're on the back porch with me for every meal."

Desserts will be a specialty with cakes, pies, and may other delectable sweets that are made daily and shipped from a bakery in Hamilton County, including the restaurant's signature Mockingbird Cake. The restaurant will have a "rustic-chic" feel with a glass-walled show kitchen and the Southern Shine Bar. The bar will feature whimsical cocktails, punches, and coolers that celebrate an era where characters might have created some homegrown spirits on their homesteads just beyond the springs.

Disney Channel's "The Lion Guard" Releases Teaser:

Disney Channel released a teaser for its upcoming Disney Junior movie "The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar" that will premiere November 22 at 7 p.m. ET.  Here is the description:

About The Lion Guard: The Return of the Roar:
Join Kion, second born cub of Simba and Nala, as he takes on the leadership of the Lion Guard and assembles of the best and brightest who will help maintain the Prideland and keep the circle of life intact. Kion gathers not a team of lions, as tradition has dictated, but his own Lion Guard team of the Pride Lands’ fiercest, bravest, strongest, fastest, and keenest of sight. But Kion himself must learn the power of his roar before a genuine and lasting peace can come to the Pridelands.

Meet the Lion Guard!
KION -- The fiercest, and the leader of the Lion Guard. Kion is the second born cub of Simba and Nala and brother of future ruler of the Pridelands Kiara.

BUNGA -- The bravest, and Kion’s best friend and co-conspirator. Bunga is a Honey Badger and adoptive son of Timon & Pumbaa.

FULI -- The fastest cheetah in the Pridelands. And a tomboy who takes her position in the Lion Guard very seriously.

BESHTE -- The strongest who is friends with everyone in the Pridelands. A happy hippo who is still realizing his full strength.

ONO -- The keenest of sight, and the Lion Guard’s intellectual advisor. Ono is an Egret who always has his “eyes in the sky.”

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 Liars, The Fosters, Young 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.

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.
