Is Mickey Mouse the loveable mouse that everyone thinks he is or is he trying to suck ever penny out of you that you have?
What is there to buy?
Should I bring a lot of spending money?
Am I going to be attacked by a giraffe in the Animal Kingdom?

Thanks

Hey Jimmy

Well having lived in Florida for 4 and a half years...even though I just moved away from Florida. Uhhh...YEAH...it IS that hot. It's digusting with the humidity. Beware. Nothing you can do/or wear will cool you off, except drinking cold water or gatorade. Yes the mouse does try and suck every penny out of you, but that doesnt mean you cant kick the guy in the nads who's wearing the Mickey costume. The items that are for sale at Disney are mostly tourist geared...but there are some shops out there where you can buy some "classier" more expensive memoribilia. Go to Islands of Adventure while you're there. You'll have more fun doing that. And check out CityWalk too.

Have a wonderful trip!

I just got back today. Word of advice. Get on the Disney Dining Plan. Best money I spent while there. If not, you will spend a small fortune on food alone.

Maybe I am getting old (30s!)...but I am quite healthy and my brain about hit the pavement after this ride. Sure...they warn on the heart, the back and the neck but what about the brain slosh?

This is terribly sad...there is no "thrill" when people die.

Boy Dies After Disney Roller Coaster Ride
By TRAVIS REED, AP

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (June 29) - A 12-year-old boy died after riding a roller coaster Thursday at the Disney MGM theme park, the Orange County sheriff's office said.

Park officials closed the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster but said a preliminary investigation showed the ride was operating normally.

The boy died after he was brought by ambulance to a hospital at about 11:30 a.m., a Disney statement said. The cause of death was not immediately known, Sheriff's spokesman Jim Solomons said.

Park officials closed the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster but said a preliminary investigation showed the ride was operating normally.

A Disney Web site description of the ride says: "Zoom from 0-60 mph with the force of a supersonic F-14, take in high-speed loops and turns synchronized to a specially recorded Aerosmith soundtrack."

Two other people have died after going on another Disney ride, Epcot's "Mission: Space." The space simulator spins riders in a centrifuge that subjects them to twice the normal force of gravity.

Daudi Bamuwamye, 4, of Sellersville, Pa., died June 13, 2005. An autopsy determined he died of an irregular heartbeat linked to an abnormal thickening of the heart muscle that can cause sudden death.

In April, a 49-year-old woman from Germany became ill and died after taking the ride. A medical examiner's report said she died from bleeding of the brain and had severe high blood pressure.

The ride has signs warning people with heart, back and neck problems not to ride. Epcot now offers a tamer version of the ride that does not include centrifugal force.

Disney MGM is among the Walt Disney Co.'s four parks in Florida.

Oh God. I wonder what the cause of death was. The only thing that's really violent on that ride was the take off. I told Sara when we went on it, like 5 times, to hold her head back on the head rest so that she wouldn't hurt her neck. I feel so bad for that kid, and his family.

Cnn is reports that a preliminary autopsy suggests a congenital heart condition caused the death, which exonerates the ride as the cause.

My hubby and kids lied to me about Space Mountain. Said it wasn't too bad

The rides I like are the kiddie rides and bumper cars so I was not happy after Space Mountain. I never screamed so much in my life. Giving birth to three kids naturally and raising them until they graduated from high school was darn easier than that stupid Space Mountain

Well, weenie compaired to Rock n' Rollercoaster or Everest. I absolutely love Space Mountain, though. I am just a fan of the huge drop at the beginning of the ride, I guess, and SM is missing that.
