INTERCOT
Community Raises $1000 to Benefit ThyCa and Thyroid
Cancer Awareness!
This year’s #runICOT event was a huge success and the
final tally is in. INTERCOT.com raised a total of
$941.31, a number that sounded a little Goofy... yes, a
Disney pun. So, John (as he promised he would in the
INTERCOT Insider Podcast) kicked in the final share to
bring the total to an even $1000 donation to THYCA. At
this point, there’s only one thing left to ask.
ARE YOU IN FOR #runICOT 2016?

Confirmed: Adventureland's New Restaurant
The new restaurant
(formerly Adventureland Verandah), will be tentatively be
called the “Skipper’s Cantina”, themed around the Jungle
Cruise attraction. The rumored back story: Seems the
skippers are not making enough money driving the boats and
need to open a restaurant for some extra cash. Current
thought is that it will
operate similar to "Be Our Guest" in that it may be counter
service for lunch and table service for dinner. Disney's
goal is to open in November, 2015.

During
an annual shareholders meeting today, Disney CEO Bob Iger hinted a
name change was coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly
Disney MGM Studios)... again. "Now we can announce that. It's not
been announced right? We'll announce that we're changing the name
but we won't announce what we're changing it to." Iger stated. With
changes in store rumored to expand on both the Pixar and Star Wars
franchises, it's not surprising, however no further comment was made
