<h3>Disney&#8217;s Mainstreet Electrical Parade</h3>
</h4>
<p><span style="color: #de802b;">Type: Outdoor | Location: Magic Kingdom Theme Park</span><br />
Brighten your night with the return of a Guest favorite, the more-dazzling-than-ever Disney&#8217;s Main Street Electrical Parade in Magic Kingdom Park. You&#8217;ll see plenty that&#8217;s new—fun-loving Tinker Bell leads the parade, which includes festive new floats inspired by Pinocchio and Snow White.</p>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_2331" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 250px"><a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-tickets.aspx"><img class="size-full wp-image-2331" title="Summer Nighttastic Tower of Terror" src="http://blog.officialticketcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Summer-Nighttastic-Tower-of-Terror.jpg" alt="Check out the new special effects on Tower of Terror" width="240" height="144" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Check out the new special effects on Tower of Terror</p></div>

In a magical glow, take a plunge down the elevator shaft of the once-glamorous Hollywood Tower Hotel in Disney&#8217;s Hollywood Studios. Exciting new special effects make this ride frightfully thrilling—and chilling!</p>
<p>A ride on the &#8220;fright elevator&#8221; beyond the eerie boiler room in the hotel basement could be down, then up, or maybe down again, or up and up—every experience is different and randomly selected by the Tower itself. There&#8217;s no way of knowing which direction you&#8217;ll go on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.</p>
<p> </p>
<h4>
<h3>Summer Nightastic! Fireworks Spectacular</h3>
</h4>
<p><span style="color: #de802b;">Type: Outdoor | Location: Magic Kingdom Theme Park</span><br />
Bursts of vivid color and brilliant visual effects dance in the sky as whimsical music fills the air in a special summer fireworks spectacular at Magic Kingdom Park.  The fireworks display will most likely go off every night over the summer, usually starting about 10 minutes before the park closes. </p>
<p>Keep in mind, Epcot Center will be doing their classic and popular Illuminations Fireworks show over the summer, as well.  The Fantasmic show at Hollywood Studios will also probably be performed nightly. </p>

<p>Mission managers on Wednesday gave the go-ahead for the countdown to proceed toward Friday afternoon&#8217;s planned launch. It will be the 32nd and final flight for Atlantis.<span id="more-2323"></span></p>
<p>Everything is looking good for an on-time launch at 2:20 p.m. Managers are tracking no technical troubles, and forecasters say there&#8217;s a 70 percent chance the weather will cooperate.</p>
<p>Atlantis will carry up spare parts for the International Space Station.</p>
<p>Only two shuttle missions remain after this one. NASA is retiring its three shuttles to focus on new technologies and rockets that could one day get astronauts to asteroids and Mars.</p>

<p>Take your young seafarer by the hand and head to the docks, where Captain Hook and the bumbling Mr. Smee are waiting to give everyone a proper send-off, complete with photo opportunities. Then &#8220;shove off&#8221; onto the glimmering waters of the Seven Seas Lagoon for a journey, the likes of which you won&#8217;t forget! Experience:</p>
<ul>
<li>The refreshing humor of your comical pirate host, Patch, who leads you in merry song and high–energy Disney trivia games.</li>
<li>The <em>Wishes Nighttime Spectacular</em>, enjoyed from a perfect vantage on the water. Watch as the sky over Cinderella Castle lights up in a brilliant fireworks extravaganza, accompanied by music and breathtaking pyrotechnic effects — the most elaborate in Magic Kingdom theme park history!</li>
<li>On select nights, the voyage also includes a viewing of the Electrical Water Pageant. Barges festooned in colorful lights that depict Disney characters and American stars and stripes float by in a mesmerizing aquatic parade.</li>
</ul>

<div id="attachment_2104" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-tickets.aspx"><img class="size-full wp-image-2104" title="Magic Kingdom - Toddlers" src="http://blog.officialticketcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Magic-Kingdom-Toddlers.jpg" alt="Magic Kingdom is perfect for the little ones!" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Magic Kingdom is perfect for the little ones!</p></div></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-tickets.aspx">Walt Disney World</a> Resort in Orlando, Florida offers a really cool feature on their website &#8211; the Mom&#8217;s Panel.  Guests from all over the world submit various question, and one of the Moms answer them!  One of the questions:  Which <a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-tickets.aspx">Disney Theme Park</a> is the best for toddlers and infants?  All four parks feature elements and attractions that are great and fun for kids 5 and under (ask us about the Kids 5 and Under Pamphlet!), but for Mom Jennifer W. from Georgia, the best bet is <strong>Magic Kingdom</strong>.<span id="more-2103"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My first choice would be MK.  I think you will be pleasantly surprised how many attractions you can actually take your little one on!  From Dumbo to Pooh&#8217;s Adventure, there are so many things to do.  Not to mention shows like the Country Bear Jamboree and Mickey&#8217;s PhilharMagic!  Without a doubt my choice would be MK.  If not afraid of characters, the MK is also a wonderful place to get your little one&#8217;s picture made with everyone from Mickey Mouse to Chip and Dale.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<div id="attachment_2105" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://blog.officialticketcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Magic-Kingdom-Mad-Tea-Party.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2105" title="Magic Kingdom - Mad Tea Party" src="http://blog.officialticketcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Magic-Kingdom-Mad-Tea-Party-300x135.jpg" alt="The Mad Tea Party Attraction is fun for kids of all ages!" width="300" height="135" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">The Mad Tea Party Attraction is fun for kids of all ages!</p></div>
<p><strong>Magic Kingdom Attractions</strong></p>
<p>There are a ton of attractions at Magic Kingdom that you and your little one ca enjoy! </p>
<p><em>Fantasyland</em> will probably be where you&#8217;ll be spending most of your day, as many of the rides are geared toward small children, including Mickey&#8217;s PhilharMagic, &#8220;it&#8217;s a small world,&#8221; Peter Pan&#8217;s Flight, Cinderella&#8217;s Golden Carrousel, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Mad Tea Party, and Pooh&#8217;s Playful Spot.</p>
<p><em>Mickey&#8217;s Toontown Fair</em> offers a ton of playful fun with Donald&#8217;s Boat, and Mickey and Minnie&#8217;s Country Homes.  <em>Tomorrowland</em> features Buzz Lightyear&#8217;s Space Ranger Spin and the Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor.  Be sure to also check out the Country Bear Jamboree at <em>Frontierland</em> and The Magic Carpets of Aladdin at <em>Adventureland.</em>  Finally, a family favorite that takes you and your family all around the park is the Walt Disney World Railroad!</p>
<div id="attachment_2106" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-tickets.aspx"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2106" title="Magic Kingdom - Dream Along with Mickey" src="http://blog.officialticketcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Magic-Kingdom-Dream-Along-with-Mickey-300x106.jpg" alt="Dream Along with Mickey in a live stage show!" width="300" height="106" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Dream Along with Mickey in a live stage show!</p></div>
<p><strong>Magic Kingdom Entertainment</strong></p>
<p>Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade and the SpectroMagic Light Parade are both highly entertaining and spectacular for children 5 and under.  The Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! Street Party is sure to excite the kiddies as they dance and sing along with the promenade of Disney Characters.  The stage show Dream Along with Mickey celebrates the dreams we all have in our hearts, and the Wishes Fireworks spectacular is sure to awe and amaze children who probably have never seen anything quite so wonderous!</p>
<div id="attachment_2107" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://blog.officialticketcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Magic-Kingdom-Cinderella.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2107" title="Magic Kingdom - Cinderella" src="http://blog.officialticketcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Magic-Kingdom-Cinderella-300x135.jpg" alt="Magic Kingdom - Cinderella" width="300" height="135" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Meet your favorite Disney Princesses and Fairies at the Toontown Hall of Fame Tent</p></div>
<p><strong>Magic Kingdom Characters</strong></p>
<p>The best spot to meet some of your favorite princesses and fairies is at the Toontown Hall of Fame Tent and meet Mickey Mouse at the Judge&#8217;s Tent in Mickey&#8217;s Toontown Fair.  Meet and take photos with the Little Mermaid at Ariel&#8217;s Grotto and enjoy Storytime with Belle at Fairytale Garden, both at Fantasyland. </p>
<p> </p>
<div id="attachment_2109" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 157px"><a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-tickets.aspx"><strong><img class="size-medium wp-image-2109 " title="Magic Kingdom - Mickey Mouse" src="http://blog.officialticketcenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Magic-Kingdom-Mickey-Mouse-245x300.jpg" alt="Meeting Mickey could be scary for small children." width="147" height="180" /></strong></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Meeting Mickey could be scary for small children.</p></div>
<p><strong>Helpful Tips and Hints</strong></p>
<p>Bring or rent a stroller &#8211; your little tyke will have a hard time walking through the massively sprawling park, and you certainly don&#8217;t want to get stuck carrying them around all day.  You can rent a stroller for your entire length of stay, so all you have to do is present your receipt and be on your way!</p>
<p>While most children will be uber excited to finally meet the famous Mickey Mouse, other smaller children may actually be frightened of the various characters.  Don&#8217;t force the issue &#8211; the last thing you want is a tantrum at the happiest place on Earth.  There&#8217;s always next year. </p>
<p>Be aware of height restrictions.  You don&#8217;t want your little guy or gal getting all psyched to ride Space Mountain, and then realize they are no where close to the minimum height requirement.  Do your research and get them excited about the rides they *will* be able to go on.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Long Lines + Toddlers = Tantrums.  Take advantage of the FASTPASS option, which is included on every ticket.  Even some of the smaller rides like Peter Pan and Winne the Pooh can have gigantic wait lines, especially during the summer season.  First thing in the morning, head to a popular attraction, and insert each of your tickets into the FASTPASS machine.  You will each receive a FASTPASS ticket, telling you a time to return to the attraction, at which point, you can go in the much shorter wait line.  The FASTPASS will also tell you the next time you can use it.  So, while they limit its use and spread it out throughout your day, its Free!  And if you plan around it well, you&#8217;ll alleviate a lot of wasted time.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>While Magic Kingdom is the best theme park for toddlers and infants, the other 3 parks definitely have a lot to offer as well.  When you purchase your <a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-tickets.aspx">Discount Disney Tickets</a>, be sure to ask for the &#8220;<strong>For Kids 5 and Under</strong>&#8221; brochure, which includes maps and highlights for each park.  For more information, please visit our website or Kissimee Location, <a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/default.aspx">The Official Ticket Center</a>.  You can also call us toll-free at 1-877-406-4836.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><em>Block Party Bash Parade </em>- Starring such familiar faces as Mike and Sulley from <em>Monsters, Inc</em>, Buzz and Woody from <em>Toy Story</em>, Mr. and Mrs. Incredible from <em>The Incredibles</em> and more, this interactive street spectacular is the perfect treat for everyone in the entire family.

<p style="text-align: left;">Unfortunately, this amazing and highly entertaining show is only performed about once every 2-3 days during off season.  Lucky for us, we&#8217;re getting into peak season &#8211; this week the show is on every night at both 8:30 pm and 10:00 pm.  Starting next week, they&#8217;ll be going back to the once or twice a week schedule, but hopefully not for long, with summer right around the corner.  This is by far my favorite show (it just *might* be my very favorite thing about Disney, in general) and I highly recommend planning your whole Disney vaycay around it. <img src='http://blog.officialticketcenter.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Every winter season, the <strong>Disney Water Parks</strong> alternate being closed for refurbishment.  <a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-blizzard-beach-tickets.aspx">Blizzard Beach</a> has been closed since about mid-February, and will reopen its gates on March 21st &#8211; much to the delight of Disney fans and Spring Breakers visiting the Orlando attractions.</p>
<p>Blizzard Beach Operating Hours:</p>
<p>March 21-27&#8230;&#8230;.. 10 am &#8211; 5pm</p>
<p>March 28-31&#8230;&#8230;.. 10 am &#8211; 6 pm.  <span id="more-1885"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-blizzard-beach-tickets.aspx">Disney&#8217;s Blizzard Beach Water Park</a> features one of the world&#8217;s tallest and fastest free-falling waterslides, as well as slides and rides for the whole family—like a kid-sized, snow-castle fountain play area with scaled-down versions of the more thrilling attractions.</p>
<p>The story behind <strong>Disney&#8217;s Blizzard Beach</strong> begins with a freak snow storm that blanketed Florida. Within the blink of a snowflake-tipped eye, a ski resort sprang up with slalom courses, toboggan slides and iceberg walkways. Then, just as quickly, the weather shifted back to hot. The whole resort started to melt. What to do?</p>
<p>An enterprising alligator saw an opportunity! Clad in a scarf and hat, this Ice Gator slid down the snow-less ski jump, shouting &#8216;Yahoooo!&#8217; all the way. With a big splash he landed in a pool of melted snow below the mountain. It was at this moment the slushy, slippery slopes became an exhilarating Water Park with a ski theme.</p>
<p>Guests can either purchase <a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/disney-blizzard-beach-tickets.aspx">Discount Disney Water Park Tickets</a>, which include a single day admission to either Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach.  Or, if you&#8217;re looking for Multi-Day Disney Tickets and multiple visits to the water parks, check out a <a href="http://www.officialticketcenter.com/cheap-walt-disney-orlando-waterpark-tickets.aspx">Discount Water Park Fun &amp; More Ticket</a>.</p>
