Walt Disney World Resort
Interesting places in Walt Disney World Resort:Walt Disney World Resort, often referred to as simply Walt Disney World or Disney World, is a major recreational resort most famous for its theme parks. The resort is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts segment of The Walt Disney Company. It is located in Lake Buena Vista and Bay Lake, Florida, outside the city limits of Orlando.
Walt Disney World is split into four separate parks, two water parks, an entertainment district, and numerous resort hotels.
Magic Kingdom
It is the best-known park, organized around the central landmark, of Cinderella's Castle. It is based on the original Disney park, Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It has various 'lands' within it and is more oriented toward children, although many adults love the escapism as well. This is the first park opened in the Florida complex and also the most heavily attended and geared towards children, although most enjoyable for adults as well. Adult visitors who do not enjoy rides such as Small Small World where you sit in cars or in water, that take you through a tunnel,and listen to childlike delight and screams - may want to visit Epcot instead. Though their process of getting ride tickets enabling visitors to board a ride at a specific time works well, this process is not available for all attractions, and lines there can be endless but always keep moving. Food is expensive, and Disney merchandise is reasonable considering where you are. Plan accordingly for a trip and expect to spend at least $100.00 per person for a visit, but most would agree that the lines, the crowds, and the prices are worth it for the magical Disney experience that makes all adults 'children', if even for the day.
Wheelchairs are readily available to rent, and it is suggested that anyone who has a problem either standing too long, or if walking on the hot pavement makes your feet ache, rent one. They have wheelchairs that need to be pushed, as well as electric ones that you can maneuver yourself.
Children's strollers are available to rent, and can be found at the entrance of each park, as well.
Do not fear being caught in one of the daily afternoon rainstorms, because rain ponchos are sold throughout the park, for just that reason. Disney does not close down due to rain.
There is an abundance of readily accessed Rest Rooms every where you look throughout the parks. that are clean, and have automatic flush. Emergency stations are easily located, if such a need occurs.
Do not be complacent or feel completely safe. Although the parks are relatively safe, and do have guards throughout, take caution, and watch the children closely. You are in a park with strangers, and although rare, there have been problems as you would have on any street in any country. Be aware at all times, and do not allow young children to roam unattended or be too far from your sight.
Epcot
Epcot is an "educational park." It is divided into two distinct areas, "Future World" and "World Showcase". World Showcase is structured to showcase various international locations, especially in terms of food and/or trade goods. Don't miss the impossibly cheesy but fun Mexico ride along with the extravagant ride in the Norway pavilion. Future World is comprised of various 'futuristic' attractions, many sponsored by various industrial concerns. The Test Track, a recent addition in which visitors go through the motions of tests for new cars, is a probably the most fun, and the most traditionally theme-park. Recently, Epcot has added Soarin', an adventure where visitors handglide through many landscapes, and Mission Space. Epcot may appeal more to adult visitors, but the park has made efforts to appeal to the entire family in recent years with the addition of more character greetings and "Kidcot" funstops which encourage the children to work on a craft and interact with the cast members who are representing their home countries.
Disney-MGM Studios
Disney-MGM Studios is a park with a 20th Century movie theme. This park has lots of shows and some Thrill (capital T you see) rides, the main ones being a 13 story drop in The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and a launching roller coaster, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster(0-60 in 2.8 Seconds). The latest addition to the park is an automobile stunt show called "Lights, Motors, Action".
Disney's Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom, a member of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, is a wildlife discovery park. It's a mix between a zoo and a theme park. Naturalistic animal exhibitions are interspersed, and sometimes integrated, with typical Disney rides. Among these are a jeep safari past live animal enclosures, a raft ride through the deforestation of a tropical rainforest, a time travel ride which includes close encounters with dinosaurs and the newest ride, "Expedition Everest", which is a roller coaster ride and includes an encounter with the Yeti. While light on rides, there are also shows and plenty of animals to view (though the variety of species seems a bit sparse when compared to many larger city zoos). Animal Kingdom is more of a kid friendly theme park with many animals that would attract the attention of younger generations as well as Camp Minnie-Mickey, a special space for youngsters where they can meet all of their favorite characters.
Note: Under AZA animal safety policy, Animal Kingdom's restaurants do not provide straws and lids for drinks.
Typhoon Lagoon
A water park with a giant surf wave pool, numerous slides, a snorkeling lagoon, and a tropical beach theme. The snorkeling lagoon includes living sharks, so while not for the faint of heart, it's an unforgettable experience. Typhoon Lagoon's great fun, especially for those with kids, but be warned: if you only use sunscreen once in Florida, this is the place to do it.
Blizzard Beach
A newer water park with bigger thrill slides, a smaller bobbing wave pool, and an improved kiddie area than it's older cousin, Typhoon Lagoon. The theme here is a Florida ski resort meltdown.
Downtown Disney
A shopping mall and entertainment district with headliner restaurants such as House of Blues, Rainforest Cafe, Wolfgang Puck Cafe, Ghiradelli Chocolate Shop and Soda Fountain, and even McDonald's among others. Don't forget to visit the DisneyQuest indoor arcade with an array of Disney themed video games along with classical arcade games, and so much more! In addition to restaurants and shopping are a movie theater complex and a nightclub district. The prices are standard for Disney - high - but it's a great place to wind down from the theme parks.

Go Chicago Bears!!!!
Made by AshwinK
Today, at 2:00PM, the Chicago Bears (our American Football team) will be hosting the New Orleans Saints in the NFC Championship game. If we win this, we go to the Super Bowl to win the ultimate trophy! The last time that happened was more than 20 years ago, so it's huge!! It isn't going to be easy. Thanks to a media-led frenzy, the *rest* of the country is rooting for the Saints who have had a Cinderella-like story this year, a miraculous comeback after a devastating hurricane Katrina hit their city last year. The only support we have right now is the Bear country weather here in Chicago - snowing and utterly cold, making for slippery conditions, perfect for the grizzlies. We hope. :-) Now, did the Saints have to have 'Saints' in their name?! Oh, dear God, we may not be saintly, but, please, please, please, let us win! I want Chicago to celebrate! I want the Bears to go to DISNEY WORLD!!! Edit: We won the game, 39-14. Miami, here we come! It's the Bears against the Indianapolis Colts on Feb 4th for the Super Bowl . Woo-hoo! :-) PS: I'm not sure why this image is getting so many views, so quickly, apparently out of nowhere! Whoever you are, thank you! Story continues .
One More Time!

Dear God Almighty, can I ask one more time? Oh, please, please, please (in red, bold, uppercase, 3D, underlined, glowing, glittered, neon, lavender scent, and in dolby stereo), let the Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl in Miami tomorrow (Feb 4th, Sunday evening)! This football game is making me a believer! It worked time! Edit: Monday morning. We lost.
