Man Accused of Impersonating an Officer & Carrying BB Gun at Disney Springs

Posted on by Mathew Corn Uncategorized

According to recent reports, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested a man at Disney Springs for impersonating a law enforcement officer and carrying a concealed weapon.

As shared by FoxOrlando35: The Orange County Sheriff’s Office say Nathaniel Smith, 18, was flagged by security at Disney Springs about possibly having a gun. Deputies say Smith told them that he was recently hired by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as a special agent by the agency’s Atlanta, Georgia division.

When the deputy asked to see his badge, Smith pulled one out. The deputy then asked for a phone number for his supervisor, which Smith could not provide. Upon further investigation, the responding deputy said he found badges similar to Smith’s being sold on Amazon. The deputy then found a concealed and loaded Glock 19 replica BB gun inside Smith’s waistband. The badge and BB gun were seized and the 18-year-old was arrested.

He’s charged with impersonating an officer, unlawful display of a badge and carrying a concealed weapon.

Disney Releases Details on New Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew Coming Soon

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Dining

Disney Springs has become a Foodie paradise and now there is another fantastic dining option on the way. Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew is coming to Disney Springs West Side and we couldn’t be more excited. Disney has given us a look at what we can expect when visiting the restaurant. 

From a Disney Cast Member;

“We’ve shared a sneak peek at a few of the delicious donuts that will soon be baking at Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew. (I’m already planning my Instagram photos!) These beauties are over-the-top and will only add to the amazing variety of sweet spots you can find on property.  Today I’m thrilled to share a rendering of the specialty food and beverage location opening soon at Disney Springs West Side.

Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew will be located adjacent to Splitsville and near the west entrance and exit of the Orange Parking Garage. The overall design of this sweet spot will have a unique spin on a classic donut shop featuring graphic pops of color, iconic signage, and a beautiful outdoor seating area in the “donut garden.” Before guests enter the venue, they may catch a glimpse of a culinary experience unfolding through the windows of the exposed kitchen where hot and fresh donuts will bake daily.

“We like to say our little oasis of indulgences is going to be where ‘Happiness is Glazed Daily,’” says Mark Gibson, co-owner of Everglazed. “The menu will be full of sweet surprises and a unique spot for guests wanting a quick treat, cold brew or nitro-infused chilled coffee.” Everglazed will specialize in hand-crafted donuts featuring mouthwatering yeast and cake donuts with an assortment of cold brew lattes and coffee cocktails and a few sweet-yet-savory sandwich bites.

“The humble donut has truly become a global phenomenon. The fried circle of dough is a simple concoction with the ability to showcase chef-inspired flavors and toppings,” says Guy Revelle, co-owner of Everglazed. “We can’t wait to offer guests at Disney Springs our robust menu of sweet delights, but you are officially warned: We spoke to your diet – and it’s taking some time off when we open our doors.”
