Disney picked Orlando Bloom for the lead in their next trilogy, Prince of Persia. Other actors interested in the role where Zac Efron from the High School Musical fame and David K. Zandi who is a member of the Persian royal family and (if this rumor/news is correct) claims that he, during a campaign for the role, won a poll of 17 million viewers.

At this time the first part of the trilogy is titled “Prince of Persia; the Sands of Time”

Update: Disney says Orlando Bloom not in Prince of Persia (thank you Daniel for pointed that out)

The Haunted Mansion, one of my favorite rides at Walt Disney World, and I am not alone. There are a lot of websites dedicated to this ride that proofs how loved this attraction is. There are also stories about real ghosts inside the attraction. One story is about “the man with the cane”. Orlando United says to have proof of this ghost and shows a picture taken during a visit not to long ago.

Skeptical, like me, or believing it? It doesn’t matter as the stories are fun, especially considering the environment. What better story then the those about a haunted Mansion that’s haunted for real. Like some more haunt stories? Visit Doombuggies.com (a great site if you want to know everything “Haunted Mansion” there is to know), where they have a collection about “real” haunts.
