This means that young kids can learn to swim while the family is riding the rides, sliding down all of the slides, and swimming in the twin wave pools. After all, Aquatica uses state of the art equipment to make sure there is something for everybody. There are real animals- including colorful fish and Commerson’s dolphins, which have markings similar to those of killer whales- and beautiful flowers and scenery. The water park is designed with a ‘South Seas’ vibe.

For the parents of a child enrolled in swimming lessons, there is a special Aquatica pass available for about $50. It must be scanned by 9 am and can only be used on days when the swimming lessons are taking place.

The swimming lessons are expensive- about $200. (Annual passholders can save $100.) But they are from a reliable water park that the whole family will be able to enjoy!

But you’d better hurry- enrollment ends 48 hours before the first class!

However, many regard the recent happenings as a train of bad luck- and in one case an unfortunate but accidental tragedy. About three hundred Disney buses operate on the property each day, and spokeswoman Andrea Finger insists that the transportation system is safe and reliable.

Bus drivers must pass a physical at least once every two years, and they must have a commercial drivers license. There is no upper age limit.

Now, I have lived close to Disney World for most of my life. I have gone to the parks ever since I was just a child. And I would like to state that I have personally never seen an accident involving a Disney vehicle. So for those of you following the news of the crashes, please remember that these aren’t common!

Although Disney is known to be a safe area for pedestrians, please teach children not to veer off the sidewalks or pedestrian walkways; vehicles can travel rather quickly and buses are often too high up for younger children to be spotted. Obey all laws and use common sense- look both ways before crossing, take children by the hand, and don’t cross streets unless the pedestrian light is on or you are at a pedestrian crossing.

This was the second fatal transportation-related accident in the last year at Disney World; the first was the tragic death of a 21-year-old monorail pilot last July, when his monorail and another crashed into each other at the Transportation and Ticket Center. It was caused by a miscommunication; he was told to back up into the Center but it appears no one told him that another train was already in the station.
