trusted source reports that Disney is reviving a Stitch show
A trusted source reports that Disney is reviving a Stitch show that will be presented this year during Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party at the Magic Kingdom. It's name: "A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas," but it will include the rascally character.
Expect it on the stage where Stitch was previously seen for the short-lived, much-panned Stitch's Supersonic Celebration.
A Disney official told me they have nothing to announce at this time.
Reasons to believe: You had to know that stage wasn't going to sit idle forever. But it has a distinct look that isn't going to work for just anything, say, princesses, for example.

On August 10, when I was at MK to collect my Fun Card, I wandered over to Tomorrowland to see how deserted it felt. Mainly, on this side of Tomorrowland I bumped into smokers. But look, scaffolding on the site of the late, not-so-great SuperSonic Celebration (above). How much distress could it have gone under? A clue is given.
I had already been wondering about Very Merry, especially Mickey's Twas the Night Before Christmas Show, which has been staged on the Galaxy Palace Theater. That was adjacent to Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin -- until the stage was demolished earlier this year.
But now I'm wondering about the interactive portions of the new show, if any. Very Merry is always after-hours, therefore after dark. Do they have the technology to project audience members onto the big screen? Or is that even planned. Not that they need to copy all the elements of the SuperSonic show. Santa, help us!
Very Merry runs for 19 select nights, beginning Nov. 19.
Sidenote: Disney officials confirm that the first night of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights has been moved up to Nov. 10 at Disney's Hollywood Studios. It was originally on the calendar for Nov. 30. It will run through Jan. 4.

The best burgers in Orlando
I love me a good burger -- greasy and cheesy, or topped with thick bacon, blue cheese and caramelized onions ... or both.
And I was talking to my friend and former peer, Chowhound Scott Joseph, the other night about the resurgence of the burger at high-end eateries. (More on that in moment.) All this talk accomplished two things: Made me hungry. And made me starting thinking about whose burger I like best.
So, in looking to take a break from all the health-care hubbub, I decided to focus on something decidedly unhealthy -- and put together my list of my Five Favorite Burgers in Orlando.
Now, there's the obvious disclaimer that I'm not food critic (i leave that to folks like Scott and our lovable food expert, Heather McPherson, who's a heckuva cook hereself). Also, there are oodles of burgers in this town I haven't tried ... but want to. I'm just a guy who likes thick burgers and salty fries. So with that disclaimer outta the way, my top five are:Menu-welcome-burger
1. Ravenous Pig (Winter Park)
2. Johnny's Fillin' Station (Orlando)
3. Five guys (multiple location)
4. Hamburger Mary's (church street)
5. Johnny Rockets (chain)
You can see my tastes run the gamut -- tho the higher-end Pig's blue-cheese-and-onion-topped masterpiece tops the list. (Mouth ...watering ... now.)
And Joseph mentioned that other higher-end eateries are following suit, trying to tap into customers who have swapped their steak budgets for hamburger-sized ones. We're talking everywhere from Fleming's to Ruth's Chris. (You can read the full piece on Joseph's blog here.)
Now, I'm quite sure I'm opening a can of chopped meat on this one. So if you want to weigh in on your favorite burger in town, throw it out there ... preferably on the grill.
