Orlando Sentinel tourism reporters Katie Rice and Dewayne Bevil take a look at theme park staffing, Disney’s new presence on I-Drive and some news from Princess Tiana about the “The Princess and the Frog” ride. Industry experts estimate that Walt Disney World, Universal and SeaWorld are at about 85% to 90% staffing numbers in 2019. Will guest experiences suffer? Disney is making a splash on International Drive with a new store and a large, curved video screen installed atop a parking garage that can be seen on Interstate 4 along the tourist corridor. And Anika Noni Rose, who gave voice to Disney’s Princess Tiana, let slip on an episode of “Live With Kelly & Ryan” when “The Princess and the Frog” ride will open.
