Halloween is the new Christmas creep at theme parks, family attractions
It wasn’t until after Brian Helmich booked his family on a three-night cruise aboard the Disney Dream that he learned it would be a special Halloween sailing.

“It was a bonus,” said Helmich, of Washington, Ill. Along with all the usual shipboard activities, his 10-year-old son got to dress as a pirate, go trick-or-treating and attend several special holiday parties and activities. “It’s a really great time to cruise, because it’s off-season and not super busy, and you also get Halloween,” Helmich said.

    “It’s a phenomenon that’s grown and grown, so that today virtually every amusement park in America has a Halloween event.”

Disney Cruise Line offered “Halloween on the High Seas” on just one ship last year, but this year it’s treating passengers on all four ships in its fleet to special decorations, activities and menu items through the end of October – along with some of the lowest fares of the year.

Back on dry land, meanwhile, “Disney is perhaps single-handedly expanding the Halloween season to two full months,” said Deb Wills, founder of the Disney planning site AllEars.Net.

Indeed, Disney World in Orlando, Fla., is already festooned with Halloween decorations. Oct. 31 kicked off on Sept. 1 with the wildly popular “Not-So-Scary Halloween Party,” an evening bash in the Magic Kingdom with Halloween-themed fireworks, decorations, parades and, of course, trick-or-treating. The event, which requires a special ticket, was extended to 26 select nights this year – three more than last year.

“As long as Disney continues to provide quality experiences, guests will continue to be part of the fun,” said Wills. “How many folks can say they actually went trick-or-treating in the Magic Kingdom?”

Wherever you live, ghouls and ghosts are coming to a theme park near you. “It’s a phenomenon that’s grown and grown, so that today virtually every amusement park in America has a Halloween event,” said Arthur Levine, theme parks expert at About.com.

“But it’s important to know that they fall into two distinct camps: not so scary and unbelievably scary.”

How to Buy Lingerie for Your Woman?

How to Buy Lingerie for Your Woman?
Guys, if you want to please your woman, one of the best ways is to gift her a piece of sexy lingerie. Of course, it is hard for you to find a right piece of sexy lingerie to flatter your woman’s figure. Luckily, here are some tips for you. Please read on.
Find out what brands she goes for – This is easy if you’ve had intimate moments together. Take a peek of the brand or brands that she generally wears and make a mental note of them. If she uses only one brand, this only means that she prefers only that brand and nothing else. This is more than a hint of what brand you’ll get her.
Know what type she wears – Another key to getting the right underwear is to get what type she usually wears. Is she the more adventurous type and goes for things like thongs and G-strings? Or is she more of the type that’s more conservative and wears just the regular lingerie? This again should give you a clue of the exact type of undergarment to give her.

Be aware that the better ones are usually pricier - Lingerie can sometime be compared to jewelry in that the pricier it is, the better. Of course, you don’t want to get the lady in your life something cheap. Certainly, cheap doesn’t always mean poor quality. But when it comes to lingerie, the inexpensive ones are usually made of fabrics that are not just uncomfortable to use but can also trigger certain body issues. It’s not every day that you’ll be buying her underwear, so make sure you get the really high-quality ones notwithstanding their high prices.
Ask tips from another woman – You may have your apprehensions in buying underwear since you don’t want people to give you strange looks. What you can do is ask a lady friend or your sister to accompany you in buying it. Aside from the tips you can get from her, you also avoid those suspicious stares from the people at the shop.
Pick the right size – One of the biggest mistakes you can make when shopping for her underwear is getting her something that’s too loose or too tight. Just like in the first tip, you can determine her size by looking at any of her underwear pieces to make sure you get the right size for her.

Just follow the tips above and you will find a right piece of sexy lingerie to please your woman.
