These two attractions take you back through London’s horrible histories. The “London Bridge Experience” section of the tour is the more educational section, with live guides covering the history of London Bridge itself, ghosts, prisons, war, the Great Fire of London, and Jack the Ripper.

Then, through a vortex, you are transported to the “London Tombs” section, which is an altogether different experience. This is more like a horror maze type experience where the learning stops and the fear seems to never end as live actors make your experience one to remember.

Occasionally after hours’ events are also offered. These are designed to be even more terrifying than the daytime shows.

Audio guides are available for international visitors to aid them with understanding the historical part of the attraction.

Is the London Bridge Experience / London Tombs scarier than London Dungeon?
Compared to the London Dungeon, this is a much less family-friendly experience once you enter the Tombs section. It is much more like a traditional haunted house style attraction in the second part. 

The first Experience section is educational, however. Overall, we do not recommend this attraction for young children.

A post reminiscing about the Walt Disney World International College Program

It’s been about six weeks since the end of my Disney World International College Program contract and I thought I’d write a retrospective piece summing up my experience. I’m going to very quickly get those of you who didn’t read my blog up to speed. Hi, I’m Gio from the UK and this Summer (2013) I participated in the International College Program at Walt Disney World. I was an attractions cast member working at Mickey’s Philharmagic and Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel in the Magic Kingdom. My program was about ten weeks long and I successfully completed it. I had already done one set of working for Disney back in 2011 at Disneyland Paris and I suppose to some extent I expected my ICP to be very similar, but longer. I was prepared for more heat, for more guests and (hopefully!) less of a language barrier in the US. This all proved true - sure Florida was hotter than Paris, yes the Magic Kingdom is the world’s busiest theme park and yes (for the most part) I didn’t have to tra

London: Things to do and Events in February Chinese New Year Image: Paul (Flickr) 18th February 2018 Although Chinese New Year itself is on the 8th February in 2016, the celebrations will be held on the subsequent weekend.  You can celebrate the start of the Year of the Monkey all around the West End with events held on Trafalgar Square and Chinatown from 10:00 to 18:00. London’s Chinese New Year celebrations are the largest outside Asia, with parades, performances and fireworks.  At 10:00 a large lion parade makes its way from Trafalgar Square to Chinatown; from 12:00 onwards stage performances are held; and at 17:20 the grand finale begins as dancers and acrobats take to the stage, and pyrotechnics illuminate Nelson’s Column.
