Snow White's Scary Adventures
Snow White’s Scary Adventures

SNOW WHITE’S SCARY ADVENTURES is a classic Disney dark ride in Fantasyland, one of the original rides at both Disneyland in California and at Walt Disney World.

Go out and ride the Walt Disney World version of the ride while you can, because it is going the way of Mr Toad’s Wild Ride. That is, Disney is ripping the ride out to make way for a Disney Princess meet-and-greet.

What?

Web Watch will break this down for you, summing up what other websites have already said: Walt Disney World is currently in the middle of a long-awaited (and much needed) multi-million dollar expansion of Fantasyland, originally with the following changes:

Dirty Jeans

How often do you wash your jeans?

Well, if you’re college student Josh Le, the answer is that you TRY TO WEAR YOUR JEANS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE WITHOUT WASHING THEM. In his case, he wore his $165 pair of “Nudie Jeans” 330 different times over a 15 month period without washing them…. just to see if you could and what would happen.

A funky science project, if you will.

That’s over 60 weeks.

Sleepy Dog

Web Watch knows a number of people who have no problem encouraging their pets to sleep with them in their beds every night. We’ve even seen our friends cuddle up with their dogs on the family room doggy bed to take a nap. (We’ve seen the same people take a nap on doggy bed without their dog too, so maybe this isn’t such an unusual situation for them.)

But professors at the University of California-Davis school of veterinary medicine say that SLEEPING WITH YOUR PET MAY NOT BE AS GOOD FOR YOU AS YOU MAY THINK.

The Medical Entrepreneur: Pearls, Pitfalls and Practical Business Advice for Doctors

Web Watch knows a number of doctors and other medical professionals, and the ones that we know are all extremely competent at their profession (based on our experience and what they’ve shared with us). At the very least, we know that the way our medical staff works and plays is completely different from what we see on those TV medical dramas. Really – does every doctor sleep with every other doctor?

Don’t answer that. Some things we don’t really need to know.

The point is that at some time in your life you will either (a) need to find a doctor, due to changes in insurance plans or other reasons; or (b) have either the most awesome — or worst — medical experience and you just need to get the word out about doctors that everyone should go see, along with the ones that maybe aren’t as wonderful as they may think they are.
