Here's one of my favorite secrets to help you plan your Disney World vacation.... Each theme park has its own special kind of Disney World rides. Get to know what makes each park different, and planning your vacation will be much easier.The Haunted Mansion is one of my favorites. (Hmm, it seems like I say that about quite a few attractions.) If you have ever tried to take video inside the Haunted Mansion - or viewed one of the many fan-produced videos - you know that it's hard to get good video or photographs because the attraction is so dark.
At last, we fans have an inside look at the Haunted Mansion, thanks to Jeremy Kohrs and Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 . He's recreated the Haunted Mansion in delightful detail. Because it's based on the Disneyland version, the exterior is a bit different. The interior is perfect - hitting all the highlights!
If you like this video, be sure to pop over to Jeremy's YouTube page and rate the video.
I'll admit that I don't know a thing about handheld computer games... So you'll have to interpret exactly what this means. But it seems very cool. If you have the new Nintendo DS game "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End," bring your Nintendo DS to the Magic Kingdom to free, exclusive content and codes. Go to the Magic Kingdom and head to Adventureland. Look for "X Marks the Spot" locations. Based on the video that's online, they're large silver metal crosses sitting on top of a barrel. When you find the "X," turn on you game and follow the instructions on how to download the booty.
(Tip: Gamers should make sure they have played at least the first level of the game up to the first checkpoint -- Jolly Roger -- and have created a saved game.)
So what do you get? Unlimited health, unlimited "savvy" and unlocked costumes for single player AND an unlock of all locations, characters and weapons for multiplayer duel mode.
If I'm in Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom, the one attraction that I never miss is "Mickey's PhilharMagic." Donald takes center stage when Mickey leaves him alone with his Sorcerer's Apprentice hat. Hmm, couldn't we see what's going to happen. Donald puts on the hat. Magic is unleashed. And the next 12 minutes is a glorious, in-your-face, three-dimensional journey as Donald tries to rescue the magical hat.
Officially presented by Kodak, "Mickey's PhilharMagic" features Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and other animated Disney characters. It's reported that this is the largest collection of characters in any official Disney production. This was also the first time that classic Disney characters were created using computer-generated animation.
