According to recenet reports coming out of the Walt Disney World the “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” game show attraction will be closing on May 19th. If you happened to pick up any of the pin, t-shirt, hats or other prizes they should now be fetching a premium price on secondary auction on EBay.

Avast there me hearties Pirates of the Caribbean is down for rehab and they’ll be some changes in store. The ship in the opening battle will remain the Wicked Wench but will feature Captain Barbosa. You will see Jack Sparrow hiding behind some women with his hands placed in some very politically incorrect locations. Look for plenty of sight gags where the new Jack Sparrow animatronic figure is involved.

Starting in October of 2006 Disney guests will have the opportunity to randomly be chosen to win prizes and once in a lifetime guest experiences. Top on the list is sure to be the chance to sleep in Cinderella’s Castle via Orlando Sentinel

A visit to the Magic Kingdom in Orlando Florida can be a wonderful vacation for many families. With millions of visitors each year, the Magic Kingdom is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world.

When planning your vacation to Orlando, there are certain things to consider when choosing the best time to visit the Magic Kingdom. If you are able to visit during the least crowded times (any time schools are in session) you will have a less stressful vacation. If you must travel during the summer months, during holiday breaks or other times when schools are out, you will need to take certain actions to improve your chances of having a fabulous trip. This includes allotting extra days for visiting the park, and being able to skip some attractions and focus on your “must sees”.

The trick to successfully going through Fantasyland, or any of Disney’s parks, is to have a plan, and to use fastpass to your advantage. On my most recent trip to Disney World I used this plan successfully on two days, over the Memorial Day weekend, so unless you go during Christmas or Easter you shouldn’t have a problem getting it to work for you.
