Things To know Before Visiting Gideon’s At Disney Springs! Gideon’s Bakehouse is a popular single-owner small business based in Orlando that has gained international attention when it opened it's location at Disney Springs. It can get pretty crazy at the Disney Springs store with people waiting for hours to get their hands on a prized Gideon's near half pound cookie! To help you get enjoy lots of yummy Gideon's goodness, the bakery have shared some helpful information based on an average day to set an expectation and help you plan. • The bakery opens at 10 am, but the line typically begins to form at 9 am, when the parking garage opens. • Once the bakery opens, when the line gets too long, they switch to a Virtual Queue. This allows you to go anywhere while waiting for a return text. On weekdays the Virtual Queue can start anytime from open to evening or not at all, depending on crowds. On weekends and holidays it can happen right at 10am. After receiving your text, you will check in at the end of the return line. It looks scary but is typically no more than a 15-minute wait. For international guests, we will give you a return time if you can’t receive texts. • Sign up for the queue must be done in person. When active, you will find Gideon's staff to the right of the front door under the protection of Gideon's Gargoyle. • Plan for wait times of around two hours. For busy days (Friday through Sunday, holidays, holiday seasons), the virtual queue averages five hours. The earlier you arrive, the shorter the wait and the better the selection since limited edition items will sell out. A general rule, if you know the parks are slammed, we’re slammed. • On average, between 6 pm and 8 pm every day the virtual queue is active, and the waiting list will hit capacity. When this happens the bakery closes the queue to handle everyone on the list and to ensure the bakery closes on time.

Deep in the heart of the forsaken town of Boggy Meadow, a creaky old house stands as a grim reminder of the horrors that unfolded within its walls. As the story goes, a sheep farmer named Thomas, had been driven to the brink of despair by three consecutive failed sheep markets. A mysterious figure named Beatrice, disguised as an old hag soon appeared and promised him endless fortune. Beatrice lured Thomas into a sinister pact, mentioning a dreaded "curse of the moon" in passing. Initially, it seemed as though fortune smiled upon Thomas and his loved ones. But with the arrival of the first full moon, a malevolent transformation consumed Thomas—a primal beast, a wolf driven by insatiable rage. In a frenzy of bloodlust, Thomas unleashed unspeakable horrors upon his own family, staining the walls of their once-happy home with a crimson trail. As the cycles of the full moon persisted, the curse unleashed its wrath upon the unsuspecting town of Boggy Meadow. The residents, one by one, became victims of Thomas's monstrous fury.

  • Second Orlando convention cancels this week citing Gov. DeSantis' anti-LGBTQ+ legislation

    A pole-dancing convention is the second convention this week to cancel an Orlando event due to Gov. DeSantis' anti-LGBTQ+ laws. Already this week, a major convention has cancelled their Orlando event this August due to Gov. DeSantis' anti-LGBTQ+ legislation in the state, and now yet another convention has cancelled their event for the same reason. First to cancel was Con of Thrones Orlando, a convention celebrating Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire, House of the Dragon, and the fantasy worlds of George R. R. Martin, cancelled what was to be their fourth Orlando convention. Organizers of the event which was due to take place on August 25 – 27, 2023 at the Hyatt Regency Orlando, blamed the cancellation on the increasingly anti-humanitarian legislation and atmosphere in Florida. They said that the convention has been called off based on feedback from partners, attendees, and guests. They commented "It has become clear that if we were to proceed, Con of Thrones 2023 would not be the level of event that the community expects and deserves." Now in a worrying development, a second Orlando convention has cancelled their event. The International Pole Convention, PoleCon, which was due to bring upwards of 1000 attendees into Orlando, will no longer host their 2024 event in Orlando, again citing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' anti-LGBTQ+ stance. The convention last took place in Orlando in 2018, with organizers pointing out that attendes stayed in Orlando hotels, visited local attractions, restaurants and more, contributing to the local economy, and now sadly PoleCon will relocate the annual event to another state. In an article in Huffpost, Colleen Jolly, the CEO of the International Pole Convention commented “It’s just too risky to go to Florida," she continued, “At this point, I’m signing contracts one year in advance. What kind of shenanigans are going to be happening there by then?” One of the laws that DeSantis has introduced bans businesses from admitting minors to sexually explicit drag shows, but critics claim that the law has been written in a way that it could be applied to all drag events. If a business violates the law they could be fined between $5,000 and $10,000, plus have its liquor license revoked. Jolly went on to say that because of this law the event could not take place, due to the fact that attendees would have included people of various genders and ages, including youth performers and children attending with their parents, with some attendees in drag. So with two events now cancelled this week, how many more will be cancelled?
