The State Funding, secured by Senator Brodeur and Representative Booth will support critical facility upgrades to protect the museum and enhance the visitor experience. The Orlando Museum of Art (OMA) today announced it has received $750,000 in state appropriation funds secured by Senator Jason Brodeur and Representative Erika Booth. The state funding will support critical infrastructure improvements, including upgrades to the museum’s air-handling system and repairs to areas damaged by water intrusion. These efforts will help ensure the museum can provide a safe and welcoming environment for visitors for years to come. "This funding lets us take care of problems our visitors never see but that matter just as much as anything on our walls," said Cathryn Mattson, CEO of OMA. "A safe, well-maintained building is part of giving every visitor the best possible experience, whether it's their first time walking through our galleries or their hundredth. We're grateful to Senator Brodeur and Representative Booth for recognizing that, and for helping make sure OMA can continue to be a home for art and ideas in Orlando for generations to come." Support like this comes at a critical time for arts institutions, as museums across the country face rising operating and maintenance costs. Investments like this one help OMA address essential facility needs while continuing to serve the Central Florida community. “This funding is about protecting the investment taxpayers have already made,” said Senator Jason Brodeur. “We’ve addressed the water damage, and it’s important that we see the repairs through rather than leave the job unfinished and put that investment at risk. Completing this work keeps the facility in good shape so it can continue serving our schools, supporting local jobs, and welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.” “I’m proud of the work Senator Jason Brodeur and I did together to make this investment in the Orlando Museum of Art a reality,” said Representative Erika Booth. “As a lifelong Central Floridian, I know how much our cultural institutions contribute to the character and strength of our community, while also supporting tourism, jobs, and our local economy. The Orlando Museum of Art is an important part of Central Florida’s story, and I’m excited to see this funding come full circle and help strengthen the museum for years to come.” Following OMA’s recent reaccreditation by the American Alliance of Museums, this funding further underscores the museum’s enduring role as a cornerstone of Orlando’s cultural community. With this support, OMA is well-positioned to continue providing meaningful arts experiences that inspire, educate, and connect the Central Florida community.

Hey howdy hey! Lilypad is joining the backyard in full DJ mode with all-new music for Alien Swirling Saucers at Disney's Hollywood Studios Imagineers are adding new magic to Alien Swirling Saucers in Toy Story Land at Disney’s Hollywood Studios starting Friday, September 25. We’re so excited to introduce Lilypad from the latest Disney-Pixar film, Toy Story 5, to the backyard alongside Woody, Jessie, and Buzz Lightyear. Lilypad is a spirited, frog-shaped smart tablet on a mission to connect friends, and she’s using her tech to bring toys together for an all-new soundtrack to Alien Swirling Saucers: Lilypad’s Jams! With DJ Lilypad on the 1s and 2s, this fresh new lineup features reimagined Toy Story classics and brand-new songs written just for this attraction that are sure to have you riding again and again. Lilypad is the maestro behind the music, connecting to the internet to remix and mashup different tunes from a variety of music styles and genres. To record this new soundtrack, Imagineers took to Nashville, working with world-class musicians, hopping across genres such as pop, country, EDM, and alt-rock. “We wanted to think about the music in a completely new way—taking beloved songs from the Toy Story films, and create catchy new original songs, that are singable, sincere and a little cheesy, as one is about Pizza Planet,” said Thomas Niederhiser, Senior Creative Producer at Walt Disney Imagineering. The Toy Story films are known for iconic songs that bring audiences into the journeys and stories of their favorite characters. We’re excited to reimagine some of these most beloved tunes—like “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” “We Belong Together,” and “I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away”—and infuse them with a new swirling energy just for this attraction. In addition to remixing classic Toy Story favorites that you know and love, we’re thrilled to build upon the films with brand-new songs, like the deep crust cut “Pizza Planet Promo,” the in-story theme song of everyone’s favorite pizza arcade, and “Spin It Back, Lilypad,” a tribute to the newest toy in the backyard. “Collaborating with our partners at Pixar Animation Studios to write for these characters and expand their stories is just pure joy,” said Geoff Line, Senior Story Lead at Walt Disney Imagineering. “We played with these toys as kids. Now we get to play with them as Imagineers. It doesn’t get better than that.” And with Lilypad as DJ, plenty of your favorite toys, like ‘Partysaurus Rex,’ are sure to get more airtime—err, playtime. But you don’t have to go for a swirl to join the party! Lilypad is DJing for all honorary toys in the backyard, whether or not you’re riding Alien Swirling Saucers. Offboard, guests can sing along as DJ Lily hypes and introduces tracks from her playlist and provides a variety of entertainment between tunes. Try to guess which toy she’s doodling on her drawing app, help her unscramble puzzles, and even watch “home videos” she’s recorded of some of your favorite Toy Story pals. Since the first Toy Story film debuted in 1995, its story has connected with audiences around the world. And now, with the release of Toy Story 5, new generations of fans are building memories with the film series. We can’t wait to welcome Lilypad to the backyard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, bringing all-new music to Alien Swirling Saucers: Lilypad’s Jams, beginning Friday, September 25. And catch Toy Story 5, streaming on Disney+ September 23. Gotta Go Orlando is your local source for the latest Entertainment News, Events and Things To Do throughout Central Florida.

Meet the new Casey’s Corner pianist bringing joy to Main Street U.S.A in Magic Kingdom Casey’s Corner has a familiar face stepping up to the piano at Magic Kingdom. Carol, a 36-year cast member, recently took her place behind the piano, bringing decades of musical experience and Disney storytelling to the heart of Main Street U.S.A. “Casey’s Corner is such a joyful, high-energy place, and I’m thrilled to be part of it. At the same time, it feels a little like the first day of school,” explained Carol. “Even after playing piano since I was — four years old, starting something new still comes with excitement and a few nerves. I’ve spent a lot of time preparing for this moment, learning new songs and revisiting favorites I haven’t had the opportunity to play before. I’m excited to bring that music and energy to our guests.” From Pleasure Island to Main Street Long before joining Disney World, Carol was inspired by her family to learn music. She started reading music when she was just two years old. The role is the latest chapter in Carol’s remarkable Disney career. A native to Central Florida, Carol’s Disney story started back in 1990 at Pleasure Island’s Comedy Warehouse where she performed and entertained guests nightly with her craft. Since then, Carol has played at venues around Walt Disney World including the Rose & Crown Pub and festivals at EPCOT, the Hoop-De-Doo Musical Revue at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and notably, her favorite, the Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. And now, adding to her musical resume, she is playing those iconic ragtime classics at Casey’s Corner. Today, when she is not traveling the world or running into cast member friends, she is playing tunes for guests, including some from her favorite music from composer Alan Menken like The Hunchback of Notre Dame. “I love music with a passion. I’ve been doing it my whole life. Honestly, I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t playing the piano. And I love Disney. The positive energy that the Disney brand brings is so powerful. As a musician and entertainer, you sometimes forget the impact you can have on people. Here, through live performance, we get the chance to create those personal connections and touch people’s lives in a really special way.” Tinkering with Music to Spread a Little Joy That ability to create magical moments is one of the reasons Carol says she feels fortunate to continue growing throughout her Disney career. “Growing up with Walt Disney World right here in Central Florida and then having the opportunity to become part of it, while sharing what I love most, music, with guests who love Disney, is something I never take for granted.” From performing a guest’s favorite Disney song to introducing someone to a new musical memory, Carol says her goal has always been to bring joy to others through music. That mission is inspired by one of her favorite Disney characters. “Tinker Bell has always been my favorite character. She tinkers with things and fixes things that are broken, and I like to do that with my music. If somebody is sad, I want to make them happy. If somebody’s already happy and has a special song they want to hear, I love being able to play it for them. Tinker Bell is sassy; she spreads joy, and pixie dust. That’s what I hope to bring to guests through my music.” More than three decades into her time with Disney, Carol is still finding new ways to create magical moments for guests, one special song at a time.
