Since launching it's first-ever specialty Walt Disney World Resort license plate design in honor of the 50th Anniversary celebration, it’s been amazing to see it on the cars of so many Florida drivers! Best of all, at the same time as showing your love of Walt Disney World, each and every plate has made dreams come true by helping grant wishes for children who need them most. As the 50th Anniversary celebration comes to a close later this month, now is your last chance to be part of Disney history and take a piece of The World’s Most Magical Celebration with you everywhere you go before this special EARidescent Cinderella Castle design goes away forever. Supplies for this themed specialty license plate are limited, so interested car owners are encouraged to get yours now through your local County Tax Collector’s Office (in person or online) or license plate agencies (DMVs) across the State of Florida. Walt Disney World have shared that to-date, more than $1.5 million has been raised for Make-A-Wish of Central and Northern Florida through purchases of this EARidescent plate, which will help the organization create treasured memories for families and children with life-threatening medical conditions. This is in addition to the more than $6 million in grants Walt Disney Word have given to organizations across Central Florida since the start of the 50th Anniversary celebration. Disney have also supported more than 60 other nonprofits in that time through programs like Disney VoluntEARS, which enables cast members to donate their time and talents to local organizations in need. Of course, the magic isn’t going away anytime soon, because the specialty Walt Disney World Resort license plate will continue with a fresh new design featuring Cinderella Castle expected to debut this summer! While the design will be revealed at a later date, Was Disney World have shared that proceeds from the specialty plate will continue to go directly to Make-A-Wish of Central and Northern Florida and their work granting wishes. Disney has been working with Make-A-Wish since 1980, and since then, more than 145,000 Disney-inspired wishes have been granted, including thousands taking place each year at Walt Disney World.

Mark Woodbury, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Universal Parks & Resorts, announced today, Wednesday, March 8, 2023, that the division will change its name to Universal Destinations & Experiences. Universal Parks & Resorts, a unit of Comcast NBCUniversal is becoming Universal Destinations & Experiences. Universal say that the rebrand better reflects the full breadth of innovative offerings Universal currently brings, and intents to continue to expand its business in the future. The name change also signals how the company is diversifying by bringing Universal branded entertainment, culinary, gaming and consumer product experiences to life in unique and creative ways for new audiences, in new places, and on new platforms in both the physical and virtual worlds. “Universal Destinations & Experiences aligns with our aspiration to be the Destination of Choice in the markets where we are today and the markets we enter in the future,” said Mark Woodbury, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Universal Destinations & Experiences. “We are thrilled to expand how we bring the Universal brand to life in new, immersive and compelling ways for fans around the world using our rich collection of stories, characters and franchises.” Recently, the company announced two, new original concepts – a theme park designed for families with young children and a year-round horror-inspired entertainment experience that is an extension to its highly successful Halloween Horror Nights franchise. The change of name is a clear signal that Universal is planing more stand alone attractions, and smaller theme parks in the future, and is changing the name to better reflect this. Part of the branding change is an updated logo for Universal Orlando Resort, with the logo now updated on the official website, and on its social media accounts. The logo features NO name change, but the text is aligned to match that of the new Universal Destinations & Experiences logo. The change is subtle, as you can see in the older logo below. In addition, Universal also revealed a brand new logo for the upcoming Epic Universe Theme Park at Universal Orlando Resort. The updated logo for the currently under construction new theme park contains much larger text than the previous logo. The new logo also features a different starry backdrop inside the compass, with the golden compass appearing less defined than in the older logo. Another interesting change is that the new logo reads "Universal Epic Universe” rather than “Universal’s.” As always, keep checking back with us here at Gotta Go Orlando as we continue to bring you the latest news and information from around Orlando and Central Florida.

Ever wonder what it’s like to lock eyes with a silverback gorilla or figure out how to perform a CT scan on a handsome and charismatic eel? How about saving not one but TWO of the most endangered species in the world? That’s exactly what a team of female superheroes is doing at Walt Disney World Resort. Harnessing the power of innovation, this team of medical professionals uses their brains, muscles and hearts to manage some of the most challenging cases in modern-day veterinary medicine. To successfully do their jobs, each one of these smart, quick-thinking and agile professionals must know every individual species of the more than 5,000 animals at Walt Disney World – from the tiniest spider to the largest elephant. And then, they need to know their anatomy – from gills and glands to horns and hoofs. And just as importantly, they must master nearly every veterinary procedure on the continuum of life. They are either saving a life, bringing a new one into the world, or making one better. “At any given time, we might be called in to anesthetize a snake or an elephant or a shark – sometimes all in the same day,” according to Dr. Betsy who has been practicing veterinary medicine for 18 years and is now a board-certified specialist in zoological medicine. “Because animals can’t talk to us and tell us their ailments, and every case is different, it’s a challenge to figure out all the pieces of the puzzle.” One such puzzle recently solved was the case of an ailing frogfish from The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT. When healthy, these small, subtropical fish are known for their ability to camouflage themselves for protection. But this little lady named Pumpkin was not showing her true colors. Instead, she was lethargic and not eating. After carefully anesthetizing this tiny fish, staff veterinarian Dr. Natalie saw on the x-ray that Pumpkin had a broken jaw. While she is incredibly adept at treating aquatic animals, setting a broken jaw for a less than one-pound fish was not an everyday procedure. To stabilize the jaw, Dr. Natalie used dental material traditionally used on people to help fuse the two bones. She then used a small cylindrical tube as a kind of cast to keep the jaw from moving while the dental material worked its magic. Within a few weeks, Pumpkin was feeling like her old self, swimming around and camouflaging in a range of colors, and was able to rejoin her mate back at EPCOT. “I always had an interest in healing animals,” said Dr. Natalie whose childlike spirit and lifesaving instincts can be traced back to the first time she saved an animal’s life. “When I was 13, I nursed back to health a snapping turtle I found at the side of a river and 38 years later, Hagar is still healthy, living with me and my family.” Like Dr. Betsy, Dr. Natalie is a board-certified specialist in zoological medicine who easily applies her same innovative approach to the well-being of land-roaming animals as well as sea-faring ones. Recently, Dr. Natalie examined a sweet, 12-year-old western lowland gorilla named Lilly who was having some painful stomach issues and was often vomiting. A visit to Disney’s advanced veterinary hospital showed that Lilly had some gas bubbles trapped in her intestinal wall and outside her bladder. In humans, this condition can be treated through surgery, but Dr. Natalie didn’t want to risk doing something too invasive. Through research, she found that hyperbaric oxygen treatment was used to treat this condition, the same method used in treating humans for decompression sickness commonly known as the bends. But doing anything groundbreaking comes with risk. “We’ve never heard of this done with a gorilla, which makes the stakes of the procedure even higher,” said Dr. Natalie. “And that’s a little nerve wracking.” The idea is that the treatment will compress the air around Lilly and effectively squeeze the bubbles so small that they pass through the bloodstream. After a stressful afternoon of nail-biting, the treatment was a success, and Dr. Natalie could do a little “decompressing” of her own. “I’ve known Lilly since she was born and she is the same age as my daughter,” said Dr. Natalie with some relief. “Success is hard to measure, but I believe we make a positive impact in the lives of all the animals in our care.” Assisting Dr. Natalie with Lilly was veterinarian Dr. Jen, another board-certified specialist in zoological medicine who sees herself as an advocate for animals on both the land and the sea. From the intricate planning it takes to anesthetize a giraffe – the tallest animal in the world – to removing a decaying tooth of an 1850–pound manatee – Dr. Jen applies innovative techniques and tries to get to know the personality of each animal. To say that eels have personality would be a stretch for most. But for Dr. Jen, she describes an anemic, three-foot-long green moray eel named Sigsbee as sassy, inquisitive, charismatic and even handsome. So, when Sigsbee started keeping to himself, she and the animal care team at The Seas with Nemo & Friends knew something was wrong. An endoscopy of his pale pink gills showed that his anemia had returned. But a more advanced diagnostic tool such as a CT scan would supply more insight into his organs. But how does one get a moray eel into a CT scanner? The animal health team and aquarists got creative and designed a clear acrylic box suitable to suspend an eel hammock. Because they welcomed various outside-the-box thinking, they were able to see that the rest of his vital organs – including his kidney – were in ship-shape condition. For 22-year cast member Dr. Deidre, saving the lives of animals was a calling she developed long before her time at the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. But she’s gone beyond saving the lives of individual animals. Part of her veterinary and conservation legacy is saving species: two entirely different bird species to be exact. Working with the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), Dr. Deidre has helped recover the extinct Guam rail and Guam kingfisher birds. Both species are natives of Guam and became extinct due to an invasive predator named the brown tree snake. The unique Guam rail is known for its white longitudinal stripes on its head and houndstooth pattern on its body, while the kingfisher displays vivid blue wings contrasted against its portly brown and orange body. With support from AZA, Dr. Deidre and a team mobilized the care and breeding of dozens of hatchlings over a number of years at a neighboring island. She recalls several occasions holding the birds with both hands to ready them for release. Before flying off into the wild, many birds would turn towards her for what appeared to be a single moment of gratitude as they disappeared into the brush. “It’s as if they said, thank you for caring about me,” said Dr. Deidre, “Knowing that these species were extinct in the wild and being able to bring them back to their natural habitat is one of my proudest moments. I truly feel like it leaves a legacy for the species.” “Helping critically endangered animals and making a difference in their care is our driving force,” according to Dr. Betsy. After one of her patients, a silverback gorilla got sick, she had to perform a vital procedure to save his life. After the procedure, “he came right up to me at the glass and put his hand on the window. I felt like he was genuinely thanking me because he understood I had helped him.” While all of these incredibly smart, strong and soft-hearted cast members have earned the right to be called veterinary superheroes, none of them will admit it as an individual achievement. Providing the highest level of care, for the highest quality of animal well-being is a team effort.

In 2021, the Philadelphia-bred, Atlanta based superstar won his first GRAMMY for his work on Tyler The Creator’s CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST, which helped give the Gangsta Grillz brand a new life, bridging the gap between hip hop fans old and new. Drama is now set to once again show the world why he is one of the greatest of all time with his 2023 album, I’M REALLY LIKE THAT.
