Happy Independence Day America!
In our hearts, in our minds and in our actions, we work
daily to uphold the principles on which this great nation
was founded. Liberty: for no one can constrain or remove our
belief in our government by the people, for the people and
of the people. Freedom: freedom from fear, freedom from
strife and freedom to continue to build a nation in which
democracy, debate and truth will always reign. On this, our
244th Independence Day, the staff of INTERCOT wishes
The United States of America a Happy Birthday, and we salute
each and every American who fights to uphold those ideals
which we hold so dear.

Splash
Mountain to be Reimagined as The Princess and the Frog

all-time favorite animated Disney film, “The Princess
and the Frog.” The story will pick up after the final
kiss, and join Princess Tiana and Louis on a musical
adventure – featuring some of the powerful music from
the film – as they prepare for their first-ever Mardi
Gras performance.
