"Walt Disney World announced its biggest ticket-price increase in at least 15 years on Friday, another signal that the region's flagging tourism-based economy is on the mend. On Sunday, the price of a one-day, one-park adult admission will increase $2.75 to $54.75, before tax, restoring Disney's title as owner of Central Florida's most expensive collection of theme parks." From OrlandoSentinel.com.
The four theme parks are the heart of Disney World, but there are many other attractions including three full-sized water parks. Typhoon Lagoon is a tropically landscaped 56-acre water park based around a huge wave pool that covers 2.5 acres and holds 2.75 million gallons of water. At certain times the pool is even used for surfing. Blizzard Beach is Disney's newest and largest water park and the most interesting. It is made to look like a snow-covered ski-resort and offers the most slides and the most thrilling attractions. River Country, the first water park built at Disney World, is actually a roped-off section of Bay Lake and is designed to give the feeling of "an old swimming hole."

Dr. David Heber said he suffered painful injuries on the California Screamin' roller coaster at Disney's California Adventure theme park in August 2001." AP Story from The Mercury News.

Out of the nine animators, only Marc Davis ever received any official recognition at any of the Disney theme parks because of his direct contributions to the design and creation of Disneyland and Walt Disney World. However, much of Thomas's efforts can be easily seen at any of the parks.
