Couple charged with leaving kids alone at Disney
Authorities say a Michigan couple left their young foster children alone in their Walt Disney World hotel room for at least two hours while they hung out at the resort’s pool.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested 49-year-old Stephen Simmons and 41-year-old Kimberly Simmons Friday and charged them child neglect. Housekeeping staff found the 2-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy Friday afternoon and waited five minutes for the parents to return. Security then called the sheriff’s office.
The husband and wife were released Saturday on $2,000 bail each.
Mickey Mouse Scuba Diving
Ok I have never heard of this till I was over checking out Mickey Mouse Review, which is a great site! They had posted about Mickey Mouse diving at the The Seas With Nemo and Friends in Epcot. So I had to do some research.
- It is actually a NAUI specialty called “Character Diving” that teaches this skill to character performers. There are only a handful of instructors that teach this, and they are all in the Orlando area… and the only place to teach this is WDW. The performers must be current Mickey Mouse performers and scuba certified before applying for this.
- There is no set schedule for him to dive. He is either diving once a month to keep his certification or he will dive for a (very expensive) special event in the VIP room for the seas.
Oh well either way its the first I heard of this and a really cool video. I will be sure to look out for this the next time we are there!
