    Astro Orbiter Closed After Small Fire Over Weekend

    The Astro Orbiter, a ride at the Magic Kingdom's Tomorrowland, was closed on Sunday due to a small fire. One of the ride's lights shorted out and melted sometime that morning, causing officials to shut down the ride for the rest of the day.

    Bo Jones, an assistant chief with Reedy Creek Emergency Services, called the incident "very minor" and stated "we had it out in no time."

    The decorative ring at the top center of the ride was the location of the malfunction and the affected light.

    Celebration A Top 10 Prettiest Neighborhood

    Celebration, Florida, has been named to Forbes' Top 10 Prettiest Neighborhood List.

    The Disney-planned and built community exudes a "small-town America feel," according to Forbes, thanks in part to its parks, places of worship, restaurants and shops. Forbes goes on to say that Celebration, while technically a town, is a throwback "to a time and place that may or may not have existed, but through force of will and careful planning, does now."

    Movie Buzz: Disney Developing Detective Movie

    For those of you who like Disney and to watch detectives at work on the big screen, you're in luck. Looks like Disney has acquired an untitled project that will feature a reluctant female detective.

    The project is to be penned by Ashley Bradley, a relatively unknown and untried screenwriter. Marc Guggenheim, best known for co-writing "The Green Lantern," is also on board as producer as part of Collider Entertainment.

    Collider Entertainment was launched at last year's Comi-Con; this is the first project on tap at a studio for that fledgling company.

    Disney Execs Reminisce About 40 Years

    Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, and two Disney execs were there for the very first day. Recently, they gave an interview to the Orlando Sentinel about their experiences with the company forty years ago.

    VP Phil Holmes, who is still employed with the company, began his career at Disney working at the Haunted Mansion. He recalled the park's first day, saying he was responsible for taking guests' E-tickets (part of a ticket system at the time that dictated which attraction a guest could get in to).
