Heading to the Orlando area this September? Need some dining guidance? You're in luck! Turns out, September 2012 is the 7th annual Magical Dining Month in which hungry patrons can grab a great three-course meal for just $30 at several Orlando-area restaurants - including 3 on Disney property.

The summer is flying by and I, along with many of our readers, are looking forward to the fantastic Epcot International Food and Wine Festival! This year is shaping up to be an exciting event with dates ranging from September 28-November 12, 2012. Growing in popularity every year this special event is a must do for anyone who lives to eat. Spectacular arrays of flavors from around the world are showcased in kiosks located around the 1.2 mile World Showcase promenade.

Guests at Disney's Vero Beach Resort, a Disney property some two hours from Walt Disney World, will be cheering on two loggerhead sea turtles in the Turtles Migration Marathon. On July 28, Peach and Pearl will make a return to the Atlantic Ocean and join twelve other turtles in the annual "Tours de Turtles: A Sea Migration Marathon."

Since May 2011 the new group, 'British Revolution' has been entertaining guests with the "greatest hits" of British artists from the 70s, 80s and 90s. They've gone through a couple of name changes while finding their footing, but the one thing that hasn't changed is that they play some truly great music. These versatile musicians cover variety of rock styles that get the crowd up on their feet dancing.

Could there be fewer evening Extra Magic Hours on the horizon? A buzz surrounding Walt Disney World says there could be. Rumor has it the evening Extra Magic Hours will be reduced from three to two starting January 1, 2013.

Guests staying at Walt Disney World resorts can take advantage of Extra Magic Hours, a time when select parks are open before or after public operating times - usually one hour in the mornings and three hours in the evenings.

McKenna May, a four-year-old from Ohio who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010, will not be getting a trip to Walt Disney World via the Make-A-Wish foundation. The reason? Her father has refused to sign off on the vacation, and Make-A-Wish rules state two parents must sign for a minor's trip.

According to Make-A-Wish, the two-parent signature rule is in place so the organization won't find itself in the middle of a custody battle or family issue.

William May, the father, says:

Who doesn't love a good rumor now and then? Here are two newer rumors about the happiest place on earth that are currently making the rounds.

We've covered a lot of Disney Bars and Lounges over the past year, but these three are my picks for the top high energy clubs on all of Walt Disney World property. So if you're looking for a place to cap off your night with music, fun, and abundant cocktails, this is the list for you! Next time you're looking for some extraordinary Disney nightlife, give one of these three places a try.

Food and Wine Fest enthusiasts: prepare to mark your calendars. The date guests can begin to book special events at this year's International Food and Wine Festival at Epcot is Tuesday, August 14 at 7 A.M.
