Earlier this summer, we brought you a snippet about the Four Seasons hotel opening being delayed until 2014. Now, news out of Orlando is that the upscale hotel company has the funds in place and expects to begin construction this December.

The amount of financing Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts now has to start the long-planned project is said to be $360 million.

Guests heading out to this year's Intnerational Food and Wine Festival at Epcot can be among the first to try two new wines created specifically for Disney Parks.

The Enoteca Castello wine shop at the Italy Pavilion is the place to stop for a glass or bottle of Pinot Grigio or Chianti. Both feature the label Sogno d'Italia (translated: "dream of Italy") and have been crafted exclusively for Disney by Placido in Tuscany.

Epcot will be the place for many dedicated pin traders this weekend as it is set to host the Disney Trade Celebration. This year's event, called the Florida Project, starts today and focuses on giving pin and Vinylmation enthusiasts opportunities to swap pins, participate in silent auctions and meet Disney pin artist and developers.

Today and Saturday are focused on pin trading from 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Guests can expect a wide variety of pins, some featuring a retro or nostalgic feel as WDW gears up to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

News out of Orlando has it that some guests were caught on board Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" for at least an hour Sunday night. Some guests are reporting the ride stopped running sometime around 10:30 p.m. on September 4 resulting in an hour to two hour wait before exiting the ride was made possible.

Disney has said it attempted to automatically restart the ride; eventually, the ride was started manually. An apology to all riders affected by the delay was issued by Disney, and the company is working on settling any guest inconvenience on a case-by-case basis.
