Guests heading to Epcot will be able to take in a new exhibit. Habit Heroes opened Friday, February 3.

The focus of Habit Heroes is promoting a healthy lifestyle by calling attention to such aspects as being active and eating a well-balanced, nutritious diet. In a game at the exhibit, guests can help characters Will Power and Callie Stenics try to wage war against the villains "Sweet Tooth and The Snacker." Also, guests can also try to snatch the remote control away from the "Control Freak" as well as teach "Lead Bottom" how to become more active through exercise.

Disney has recently announced this year's lineup for the popular Flower Power concert series. The concert series is set to coincide with Epcot's International Flower and Garden Festival and will begin March 9.

Look for two new acts to join the lineup this year: Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night and The Orchestra, a group that features former members of ELO. Here is the lineup as it currently stands:

• March 9-11: Jose Feliciano
• March 16-18: Starship featuring Mickey Thomas
• March 23-25: The Guess Who
• March 30-April 1: The Spinners

The complimentary transportation available at the Walt Disney World Resort is one of the key reasons many people chose to stay on property. It's direct and convenient, though often can take more time than I'm willing to spend getting from point A to point B. Then a couple of years ago I discovered the joy of taking a taxi. Taking a taxi on property can save you time, reduce hassle, enhance your comfort and possibly increase the overall enjoyment of your vacation.

Patricia A. Disney died theis past Friday, February 3, of Alzheimer's disesae. She was the ex-wife of Roy E. Disney, Walt Disney's nephew; the two were married for over 50 years.

Born in New Orleans in 1935, Patricia moved to Toluca Lake, California, at the age of 6. There, she grew up as a neighbor of Roy Disney. She attended the University of Colorado at Boulder and worked in New York in the advertising field before marrying Disney in 1955. The two went on to have four children and divorced in 2007.

A statement from Robert Iger, CEO of the Walt Disney Co., said of Patricia:

La Nouba at Downtown Disney is not your typical circus experience. Instead of watching an elephant do tricks you are treated to a truly out of this world, incredible experience by extremely talented performers.

A part of the world famous Cirque du Soleil family, La Nouba leaves you wanting more and will quiet even the most hesitant attendee (in other words my 16 year old brother).

Recently, Disney announced some changes in their policies affecting appearances of their employees. First, for the first time in sixty years, Disney will allow male workers in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland parks to grow beards or goatees. Next, the company will allow employees to partake in casual Friday.

Those guests staying at deluxe Disney resorts will have one less perk to look forward to now. As of January 30, Disney has stopped the daily weekday delivery of the USA Today newspaper to the rooms of its deluxe resorts.

Those resorts affected by this change are:

• Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
• Disney's BoardWalk Inn
  Disney's Contemporary Resort
• Disney's Grand Floridian Resort
• Disney's Polynesian Resort
• Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resorts
• Disney's Wilderness Lodge

We're still a few months away from the opening of Disney's Art of Animation Resort, but details of the resort's food court, Landscape of Flavors, have surfaced.

One of the most accessible Pool Bars at the Walt Disney World Resort, Hurricane Hanna's is a small, seaside inspired, counter service bar located at Stormalong Bay between Disney's Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. Poolside entrees, snacks, and a wide variety of beer, wine, and cocktails welcome you to this turn of the century, New England inspired environment.

The Jane Goodall Institute and Disney have partnered up to offer a special VIP Safari weekend this spring. Planned for April 20-22, 2012, this weekend will allow guests to take in Disney's Animal Kingdom park with the legendary Dr. Jane Goodall.
