Sunshine Flyer Begins Service Today



If you’re traveling with The Sunshine Flyer, you can find their buses in the Main Terminal Building at the Orlando International Airport on Terminal B.

*To add on to this the following from the Touring Plans Twitter:

Sunshine Flyer is starting with a small fleet- around 10 buses. They are working on a luggage pick-up plan similar to the old DME system. Also, lots of former Disney, Mears, & DME folks on staff with this new team.

I’ve got this booked for my Princess Weekend trip in a few weeks

Yes, it was really easy for me to read the price decreases, as well. I am talking about the clickbait article title which focuses on the more negative aspect. Obviously, I read the article....that's how I knew the article title was misleading.

It's DFB. They are notorious for having the most clickbaity titles ever. It drives me crazy!

It sounded to me like a smallish company. Hopefully they don’t end up over their heads with reservations. If that happens they might end up with a lot of negative reviews really fast.

Gideon’s Bakehouse February Flavors



The February cookie is called the Velvety Five Flavor Chocolate Cookie, which is “laced with [a] special house-made Ancho, Cayenne, and Cinnamon Spice Mix, infused with a magical essence of cherry and topped with Chocolate Covered Cherries.”



The cake of the month is the Eternal Flame Cake, which is “a 3-Layer Double Frosted Chocolate work of art.” The cake has a layer of Red Cherry Buttercream inside and is covered with Chocolate Fudge Buttercream that’s been infused with a little bit of “Eternal Flame spice.”



The cold brew flavor for this month is called Fire & Iced Coffee, which is a “smooth Mocha Nitro Cold Brew with a warm spicy finish.”
