Disney Treasure cruise ship mines old source material again with ‘Aristocats’ jazz lounge
Disney Cruise Line has pulled from some of Disney’s oldest source material to inspire the venues coming to Disney Treasure when it debuts from Port Canaveral later this year. The latest addition comes from the 1970 animated feature “The Aristocats.”
The Scat Cat Lounge paying homage to one of the most iconic voice actors, Scatman Crothers, will be pounding out jazz just off the atrium with cat-themed adornments to what’s promised to be an old-school jazz club.
Images and details to the new venue were posted Thursday to the Disney Parks Blog touting the addition as bringing “the groovy penthouse performance of ‘Ev’rybody Wants to be a Cat’ into the real world for the first time.”
The piano, for instance, will sport paw prints from the wet paint scene from the movie while the carpeting will mirror ornate designs similar to those animated in the Parisian maison of Madame Adelaide Bonfamille, the owner of well-to-do Eva Gabor-voiced character Duchess and her kittens. Fans of the film will see their silhouettes at the entrance while the musical street feline Scat Cat’s signature horn will double as a door handle. Among the decorations will be hidden images of a certain mouse. Nope, not Mickey, but Roquefort.
Busting 5 common credit misconceptions
By Joe Yerardi | NerdWallet
Maintaining solid credit can open doors to financial goals, but misunderstanding how credit works can make your efforts futile.
As part of the 2024 State of Consumer Credit study, a NerdWallet survey conducted online by The Harris Poll asked more than 2,000 adults a series of questions focusing on common misconceptions about credit.
Two thirds (67%) of Americans believed at least one of the five credit misconceptions we asked about. Here, we’re busting them.
1. Leaving a small balance on your credit card is not better for your credit scores than paying it off completely
Roughly a third (32%) of Americans wrongly believe that leaving a small balance on their credit card is better for their credit scores than paying it off completely each month, including about half (49%) of those who carry a balance on at least one card from month to month. But it’s not true.
The best way to build your credit scores is by paying off your card balances on time and in full each month.
This is true for a couple of reasons.
First, payment history has the biggest influence on credit scores. Lenders want to see that you consistently pay back money you’ve borrowed. So you want to make sure you never miss a payment.
