Then Animal Kingdom’s Kali River Rapids will be closed thru March 2025, and now also announced for closure on January 6th is EPCOT’s Gran Fiesta Tour with a planned reopening March 15, 2025.

On a better note… a Tangled Live Action movie is in the works!

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH ACTIVE

Ever Wondered Why Your Gym Clothes Never Smell 100% Clean?

It’s because activewear uses tightly woven synthetic fabrics to wick away sweat while you workout.

Unfortunately, traditional detergents use fabric softeners that can coat over sweat, dead skin, & bacteria trapping them inside these fabrics.

So once your body starts heating up… the smell inevitably returns.

ACTIVE solves this by using a scientifically formulated, all natural enzyme blend to break down these trapped contaminants once and for all!

Finally a solution to your smelly activewear!
