Some advice if you’re in Orlando and want a great upscale meal that isn’t stuffy and also isn’t in a theme park or hotel: eat at Norman’s Florida Kitchen on Sand Lake Road’s restaurant row. Great food and service. Some items are a bit pricey (like $18 for creamed corn casserole), but you’ll enjoy 🧵

Yes, WDW is special to us both. But this place is very special to me specifically. I’m closing in on having spent 200 nights (think I’m gonna be in high 180s after this visit) since I first visited with my brother opening week in May of 1994. For $99 a night. Plus tax, of course.

This should be a bigger story.

More than 15,000 American farms shut down in 2025.

So let me see if I’ve got this straight:

We aren’t getting all the Epstein files, but he’s offering us UFO files and a war with Iran?

Art of the deal, amirite?

My Garmin Watch has a feature to locate your phone and it gives a sound even if it’s on silent mode. I used it all the time!

The wife was high on pixie dust and still feeling all the tequila shots in Cabo. She meant Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away.

We all know the best night parade is TDL’s Disney’s Electrical Parade: Dreamlights.

Frankly, I’d rank Starlight as my fifth favorite of all time.

I’m very partial to the original Universe of Energy Preshow music. Maybe it was the amazingly cool screen it was played on, but Energy, You Make the World Go Round was upbeat, optimistic and so 80s!

Dreamlights was charming! Probably one of my top 5 Disney night time parades… (yes, I think I have seen 5 so far)

Re: the FCC saying it is investigating ABC's "The View," at most ABC might have to pay a fine, and Disney can certainly afford it.

Even the paperwork involved is minimal, "so the attorneys' fees are not huge compared, say, to a merger or antitrust matter," Schwartzman added.

Here's the 🔑 thing about the FCC and the "equal-time rule:" The agency's powers are limited. The enforcement possibilities are "minimal, in terms of real jeopardy," public interest lawyer Andrew Jay Schwartzman told me today. Thus my new headline here: www.cnn.com/2026/02/18/m...

They can fuck off.

And now … back in the weakest Magic Kingdom of them all:

Oh, we got called Nazis from a left wing wacko who then told us to go fuck ourselves and blocked us because we aren’t radical lefties and we supported Kamala and don’t think Gavin is a Nazi.

Copy That, my friend. GoForProduction. May an anvil fall on his head.

And we’re home:

No main pool for you or me:

Slummed it last night as we needed a room for nine or ten hours. I found it perfectly acceptable beyond not paying the $37-$79 I remember.
