Examples of attractions that made it are: the Submarine Voyage, New Orleans Square, and the Haunted Mansion. Note that on this map New Orleans Square was in fact a square instead of the eventual streets and alleys, and that the Haunted Mansion is located across from where it would eventually appear....

...The park’s two major, local competitors are Disney and Universal. Walt Disney World is one of the world’s most popular travel destinations . Many tourists travel to Orlando only to never leave Walt Disney World property. Ever since Disneyland opened more than 60 years ago, company has prided itself as being an innovator that transforms fantasy into reality. All of the resort’s parks are designed to immerse rather than thrill. Disney attempts to hide their rides so that guests feel as though they are embarking on an experience rather than boarding a simple track ride. For example, a passing visitor would never guess that The Haunted Mansion ride actually takes place in a warehouse that is cleverly hidden by foliage and a facade. Disney’s theming is also driven by brand recognition. Mickey Mouse is one of...

...through bleak, wintry landscapes. As Mary recorded afterwards in her travel volume History of a Six Weeks: Tour through a part of France, Switzerland, Germany and Holland (1817): “Never was a scene more awfully desolate. The trees in these regions are incredibly large, and stand in scattered clumps over the white wilderness; the vast expanse of snow was chequered only by these gigantic pines, and the poles that marked our road: no river or rock-encircled lawn relieved the eye, by adding the picturesque to the sublime”. The landscape, with its frightening, lonely and bleak aspect, clearly haunted Mary, and she would describe similarly desolate locations in her novel Frankenstein, a book that both begins and ends amidst bleak snowy wastes. Within 10 days of the arrival of Percy Shelley and Mary Godwin in Geneva, Lord Byron himself arrived in a suitably dramatic fashion, drawing up at his hotel around midnight in a Napoleonic carriage fresh from a...

...upon. I only cared about if I was having an enjoyable experience at the time. When I didn’t get my way I would complain about small insignificant things that should not have mattered. It is funny how the things I thought so little about then, make huge differences now. One of the first things that comes to mind when I think of vacations are hotels. When growing up my family would often stay overnight at hotels for mini vacations. I didn’t have a care in the world. I got to sit back and enjoy everything that was going on around me. My parents would choose a hotel for the family to stay at for the night and that was it, that’s where we would be going. I would complain about having to share a bed with my siblings because I wanted my own bed. I also remember complaining about the long car rides to the hotel. As an adult when I look at going to a hotel I have a few things I have to consider before making my decisions. I have to think about where I am going to stay, how much this hotel will cost, and I also have to worry about leaving on time to make it in time for the check in. Another thing I have to consider is what amenities the hotel has to offer for my family to enjoy. Also I must make sure that there is enough room for us to all fit comfortably. The location of my vacations has changed quite drastically since I was a child. When I was growing up my parents were able to take me all over the country on our family vacations. I stayed in a condo in Florida near the ocean...

...The Devil In The White City The Devil in the White City is an amazing book it was written by Erik Larson. He had to do a lot of research to know what H.H Holmes did to all the girls that was in his hotel and how he pulled it off. Not long after Jack the Ripper haunted the ill-lit streets of 1888 London, H.H. Holmes (born Herman Webster Mudgett) dispatched somewhere between 27 and 200 people, mostly single young women, in the churning new metropolis of Chicago; many of the murders occurred during (and exploited) the city's finest moment, the World's Fair of 1893. Larson's breathtaking new history is a novelistic yet wholly factual account of the fair and the mass murderer who lurked within it. Bestselling author Larson (Isaac's Storm) strikes...

...“To live with ghosts requires solitude.” is a quote from Canadian author Anne Michaels's’ novel Fugitive Pieces. This novel follows the story of a Jewish boy named Jakob whose entire family was killed or captured by the Nazis during World War II. These ghosts he lives with are the memories of seeing his parents killed and sister taken from him.

...successful and decided to expand is Disneyland’s theme park. Disneyland has expanded to France, Tokyo and Hong Kong this was done to create a magical place for every one of all ages in those countries as well as ours so families can have fun at their theme parks and resorts without having to travel across the world just to have some family fun. (Disney, 2012) Before Disney could expand their parks and operations to other countries Disney had to first learn about the countries food, prices, park hours and even cultures. For example, in Anaheim, California Disney Park changed their hours by the peak time so when it’s not peak time they open later and closes earlier so they can save money. Then during the peak time they raise the cost at their hotels and change the park hours. (Disney, 2012) Hong Kong’s Disneyland has the biggest differences out of them all the Disneyland’s around the world. The structure of...

...Critical Analysis of Darwins Nightmare Vs Hotel Rwanda as development education tools in Irish classroom settings. The world we live in is ever changing, with technology at everyone’s finger tips how can we keep one step ahead in our classrooms to engage our pupils in development issues that were once only found in print texts. Our pupils live in a media age, where technology is built into their lives, the days of waiting for a weekly magazine for the latest news has all but died with a click of button they have access to a wealth of information from varying sources be it bias or unbiased that is for the reader to decide. As a teacher it is becoming increasingly difficult to distract pupils from the latest celebrity gossip to highlight real world issues of race, poverty, sexuality, exploitation, etc., the pupils of today are uninterested in reading about these issues in text books so a new approach needs to be taken to open their eyes. The use of media texts in delivering development education issues to our cinematographic teenagers is the direction we need to head in. The type of media text used is a choice that has to be made by the teacher when highlighting these issues, the question remains should one use documentaries or blockbuster movies; documentaries by their nature are very factual, complex, have real life images and settings and can be difficult to watch; blockbuster movies on the other hand are produced for entertainment value, they must appeal to the cinema...

Employees report hearing the commotion of a great party in the grand ballroom when there is no one there. Children can be heard playing in the halls when there are no children at all, and many guests have reported seeing ghostly figures in their rooms at night, merely standing, watching. The fourth floor seems to be host to the most amount of activity, and there is one ghost in particular, purportedly Lord Dunraven, the previous owner of the land the property was built on, who can be seen standing over the bed or looking out the window of room 407.
