Merida is a fiery red head in the movie. Not only is she a fun and independent princess, she is also brave, adventurous and a really good archer. In the film, she must battle tradition, destiny, and a giant evil bear! She overcomes it all and discovers the importance of family and following your heart.

Seven Dwarfs Train Mine Expected to be a Real Treasure!

Located at Disney World's Magic Kingdom, it is meant to take you through the diamond and jewel mines pictured in the beloved Disney's film, where the seven friendly characters work diligently every day. It will still be kid- friendly, i.e.: less intense than the popular Rockin’ Rollercoaster or Tower of Terror. It will feature a new system that will sway the mining cart back and forth, as one would experience going through a mine in a real cart on rickety tracks.

Going to a water park with only a few people?

Orlando's water parks are a great way to beat the summer heat, but Are only planning on staying until lunch? going after lunch when it's not so hot? Instead of packing a huge bag with your sunscreen and towels and snacks, and buying a locker each day for it, save energy, time and hassle by buying a neck pouch. they are solid plastic boxes that fit comfortably on a necklace. put your cash, id and tickets in it, (it also fits a car key, but if it's an electronic car key, put it in a zip lock bag just in case). leave your clothes and towels in the car and put your sunscreen on in the parking lot. leave it in the car also, go into the park, buy your pouch and you're free! if you really need a towel, you can rent them for $2. then leave them behind in the park, and your fresh towels will be waiting for you to sit on in the car. no bags, no mess.
