The Guardians of the Galaxy franchise has become known for many things but above all is the music. The soundtrack is key to everything about the Marvel Cinematic Universe versions of the characters and that has bled into the other places you find the characters as well, including theme parks. A new Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster is about to open at Disney World’s Epcot and, as we would all hope, it’s got a killer soundtrack.
Walt Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley, who has become the face of the massive multi-year Epcot redesign, recently posted to Instagram the full track listing for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and while the team apparently tested more than 100 different songs to find the best possible options for the ride, they settled on six excellent tracks. Check them out.

​A longtime pizza vendor at Knoebels Amusement Resort is retiring.
After 40 years Cesari’s Pizza is turning off its ovens for good at the park, which is introducing a new pizza recipe in time for the April 30th reopening.
Through the years Cesari’s stand more than doubled as the popularity of its pizzas grew alongside the park’s crowds.
“We made our own sauce and shredded the mozzarella cheese,” said Angela Martini, daughter of Cesari’s founder, Carmen “Chuck” Cesari. “What I’ll miss most is coming in every morning to make all of the fresh dough for the day.”

A repeal of Disney’s self-government status in Florida could leave local taxpayers with more than $1 billion in bond debt, according to tax officials and legislators.
The Florida House of Representatives on Thursday passed a bill that would dissolve Disney’s special improvement district, escalating Gov. Ron DeSantis’ attack on the company over its opposition to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, dubbed by critics the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
The state Senate passed the bill Wednesday, after it was first introduced Tuesday. It will now go to the governor for his signature.

​A new kind of convoy just dropped, this one calling itself the “Patriot Convoy.” It managed to block traffic to the entrance of one of Disney World’s exterior shopping areas in Florida for a few hours over the weekend in support for a bill that has already been signed into law.
They should probably be careful however, as blocking traffic as an act of protest is a felony in Florida.
In classic Convoy fashion, the people peacocking on social media and claiming victory thought they’d shut down the whole park by blocking the back entrance to a shopping area called Disney Springs, which is mainly used by locals.
