One good day of nice weather and I come home from work to find my duaghter online planning a trip to Walt Disney's Water park.... Like if she has a chioce in where we go. Oh, and she even considered her brothers hieght- she said "Disney's Typhone Lagoon has a kiddie section for isaac!" Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park , one of 2 Water Parks in Walt Disney World Resort, features attractions for the whole family—from fast waterslides to a children's area with pint-sized raft rides. Catch 6-foot waves in the Surf Pool and snorkel Shark Reef—with real sharks! According to Disney legend, Disney's Typhoon Lagoon Water Park was created in the wake of the storm-of-storms. During the meteorological disturbance, surfboards were hurled into palm trees and boats were tossed through thatched roofs of beach houses… and onto mountains. A hapless shrimp boat, Miss Tilly, journeying from Safen Sound, Florida, found itself swept up by the twisting tides of the fierce typh...

The Huanted Mansion Attraction @ Disney Magic Kingdom The Haunted Mansion is a spooky tour of an ominous haunted house in Liberty Square Magic Kingdom theme park, where a supernatural Ghost Host introduces you to his closest 999 dearly-departed friends. Don't worry—too much. While Haunted Mansion contains some mildly frightening subject matter, there is no gore, the ghostly residents are friendly and the experience is appropriate for all ages. Enter the mysteriously well-maintained exterior of an 18th-century mansion and find yourself in an ornate estate where anything can happen—and often does. Walking past the entrance foyer and into the ghostly portrait chamber, the air cools and the sense of dread begins to grow. Suddenly, you realize that you are in a room with no windows and no doors!

Interesting thing I learned today. You can get a customized map of walt Disney world theme park [ or other theme parks ] FREE by mail [ or printed out in your computer]. In order to better plan your dream Disney vacation. I think it's a hoot. Especially since the disney map is free. Ofcourse there are some rules to follow [ see below ] I think it's kind of cool - I played with it awhile and I didn't send for it becuase you only get one free by mail every six months - and I am not ready for my Walt Disney dream Vacation yet.
