Zack & Cody Can Finally Get Their Restaurant Reservation

Nov 6 2023

Disney+ took to TikTok to share a blast from the past – a scene from Suite Life on Deck which sees twins Cole and Dylan Sprouse, portraying Cody and Zack, attempting to get a table for two at a prestigious restaurant.

Unfortunately for the twins, the only reservation available was set for 7:30 on the 16th of November 2023. And even though that might seem close now, it would have been 15 years ago for the twins.

Talk about a packed dining experience! The Suite Life on Deck, a spin-off sequel to The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, premiered back in 2008 and proved to be a massive hit on DISNEY CHANNEL.

Following the life of the twins as they set sail aboard the SS Tipton to continue their studies, the show introduced new characters, love interests and opportunities for the brothers to get up to fresh shenanigans.

6.1 Million Fortnite Players In 1 Weekend For Original Map

Nov 6 2023

Fortnite has achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing its previous player record by over two million, with a staggering 6,172,463 players logging in during the release of the new season, Fortnite OG. This version harkens back to the game’s 2018 iteration, capitalizing on nostalgia and retaining a substantial player base of 5,222,248.

The surge in players is attributed to a longing for the earlier days of the game, despite criticism for the season’s pricing strategy for its battle pass. Although some were frustrated, many players, possibly including those returning after years or for the first time, contributed to the unprecedented numbers.

The event is scheduled to continue until December 2, and even a return to regular player levels would still be considered substantial. Epic Games likely enjoyed significant profitability from the surge in players over the weekend.

Fortnite OG features the return of old maps and cosmetics, pleasing the player community. The previous all-time player record was 3,913,817, reached shortly after the launch of Fortnite OG, indicating significant interest in the temporary event. There has been no official word on extending it.

Despite the success, Epic plans to conclude Fortnite OG next month, leaving room for speculation about potential future nostalgic events. This release has proven to be a successful formula for the game.
