Calling all Orlando wine enthusiasts! Wine Wars is returning to The Veranda at Thornton Park, from 5 pm to 9 pm. on Saturday, April 15, 2023. Think you know exactly which bottle of wine to grab to win over any crowd? If so, it’s time to declare Wine Wars! Wine Wars is a wine tasting event with a competitive twist. During this event, participants will get the chance to compete for a chance to take up to 150 bottles home, while also benefiting a local charity. The event will have up to 150 teams, consisting of no more than three people. Each team will need to bring three of the same bottles of this year’s specified wine category: red wines. At the beginning of the event, teams will drop off their bottles to the wine attendant and they will be assigned a number that is unknown by the team or other contestants. From there, each team will grab their wine glasses and begin tasting and voting for their most and least favorite. The team with the highest number of votes for “Most Favorite” wine of the night will take home one unopened bottle from each team. The team that brought the least favorite wine of the evening will get the privilege of taking their unopened bottle back home. There will also be prizes awarded to the team with the most creative name, the best photo booth picture, and more. Each year, Wine Wars donates a portion of the event’s proceeds to benefit a local charity. This year’s event will benefit the Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Central Florida. This organization helps support families of sick children by providing homes and other valuable resources. Zebra Coalition, Orlando Dream Center, House of Hope Orlando, and a Gift for Teaching are all past benefactors of Wine Wars. “We are excited to bring Wine Wars back, even bigger and better this year,” said CEO Tanya Baskerville. “It is always a great atmosphere full of laughs and friendly competition, all for an amazing cause.” In addition to tasting dozens of wines, attendees will also get to enjoy music from a live DJ. There will be dancing, a photo booth and food available for purchase from various vendors. The food for the evening will be curated to pair well with the night’s wine selections. All attendees will also receive a keepsake 12 oz. wine glass. Tickets are $35 per person. Each individual team member participating in the wine competition must purchase a ticket. Non-drinker tickets are also available for those who would like to experience the fun, but do not intend on drinking. The event is only open to those 21 or older. This year’s Wine Wars is sponsored by Total Wine & More, Hillstone Restaurant Group, The Capital Grille, Hawkers Asian Street Food, Seasons 52, and Surety Consultants. Upon purchasing tickets, eventgoers will receive a special code from Total Wine & More for 20% off any Winery Direct Red Wine.

As the 50th celebrations get ready to draw to an end at Walt Disney World, it's time to speculate what is going to happen with Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom. Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary celebration has been happening since October 1, 2021, and will officially end on March 31, 2023, we can expect to see the 50th statues removed, together with banners, displays, and more soon after the "celebrations" end. The big question is, will Cinderella's Castle receive yet another makeover or will they simply remove the 50th emblem in front to the clock? Or could we see a 100 Years Of Wonder emblem added to the castle? While we have no official world from Walt Disney World what their plans are, a clue has been uncovered that confirms some form of change is coming soon. A permit has been filed by Coastal Steel for Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom which lists the work as “General Construction.” The permit does not offer any clues at to what the work will be, but it's interesting to note that Coastal Steel are the company that helped transform Cinderella's Castle back in 2021 with the 50th Anniversary decor installation. It will be interesting to see what Disney have planned for Cinderellas's Castle. We really do hope that with the celebrations for the 100th Anniversary of The Walt Disney Company already underway at Disneyland, Cinderella's Castle is included in the celebrations.! So far Walt Disney World have not announced any major happenings for the 100th Anniversary, bar a Disney100 show that is set to debut at EPCOT later this year.

Counting Crows have announced that they are hitting the road this summer, with The Banshee Season Tour. The 2023 Banshee Season Tour will kick off at the Steelhouse Omaha in Omaha, Neb., on June 13 and make 56 stops across North America, including stops at Nashville, New Orleans, Boston, Las Vegas, Tulsa, Okla., Phoenix, Ariz., Seattle, Salt Lake City, Milwaukee, Wisc., Syracuse, N.Y. and yes, the tour includes a stop in Tampa at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre on August 9! For their travels, they’ll be joined by their long-time friends, the cult-favorite rock band Dashboard Confessional. Tickets are available via Live Nation Presale, this Wednesday, March 15 at 10am, Code: OPENER. The connection between Counting Crows and Dashboard Confessional goes back two decades. Friends and long-time collaborators Adam Duritz and Chris Carrabba first met in 2003 at the 17th Annual Bridge School Benefit Concert in San Francisco with Neil Young. Since then, the two have remained close working together both on and off the stage. “One of the best things about a life in rock and roll is that we spend it traveling the world playing music,” Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz said. “It’s even better when you can do it with one of your best friends and watch them play every night too. Chris Carrabba hits the trifecta for me in that he’s one of my best friends in the world, one of my favorite people in the world, and he leads one of my favorite bands of all time, Dashboard Confessional. Sorry for the terrible pun but hands down, this is going to be the best summers ever.” Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional adds, “Dashboard Confessional could not be more excited to be playing all across America with our heroes and friends Counting Crows.
