JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. - A bit of touch and go showers are set to land in Jacksonville Beach in time for this weekend's Sea and Sky Air Show at Jacksonville Beach -- Sunday may turn out a bit drier before afternoon showers and storms arrive after 1 p.m. Sunday. Rain showers will be more numerous Saturday compared to Sunday but both days will have spots of rain tracking ashore. A steady south breeze at 15-20 mph will combine with clouds to result in balmy temperatures in the low 80s both days. On Sunday rain chances may drop in the morning but increase in the afternoon but it won't be as wet overall compared to Saturday. Low cloud ceilings may hinder some aerobatics if the base hovers around 4,500 feet in the "low show."

ORLANDO, Florida (CNN) - Walt Disney World lost a bit of its magic for visitors who spent Saturday night stranded on the theme park's new Skyliner gondola. Emmie Palmer said she and a friend were stranded about three stories high along with three other woman in a gondola cabin. "Evacuating two people at a time off of the Disney World Skyliner... could be very slow with 10 capacity gondolas," Murray tweeted along with photos of rescuers working. Passengers who were stranded were compensated with free park tickets and gift cards, Palmer and Cole said.

PENSACOLA, Fla. - The U.S. Navy says two Blue Angels jets touched midair during a practice run in the Florida Panhandle. Navy spokeswoman Lt. Michelle Tucker tells the Pensacola News Journal a jet made momentary contact with the underside of a second jet's outer wing Wednesday as the pilots practiced over the Naval Air Station Pensacola. The incident won't affect the team's performance in a Chicago air show over the weekend. But the two jets involved in the incident have been swapped out and won't fly in Chicago. However Tucker says the pilots of those jets will fly in the air show.

(CNN) - Despite a quarter full of excitement, Disney's revenue for the three months ending in June was lower than Wall Street expected. Disney posted $20.2 billion in sales for the quarter, compared to analysts' projection of $21.4 billion, the company announced after market close Tuesday. Despite missing analyst expectations, sales in the quarter were up 33% from the same period last year, thanks to wins for the company in its studio entertainment and media networks businesses. Those movies and others helped Disney set a record for the highest grossing year for a film studio ever, an achievement announced last week, just seven months into the year. That deal helped beef up Disney's streaming lineup ahead of the planned launch of its streaming service, Disney+, and also gave it a majority ownership stake in Hulu.
