Backstage and guided tours of Disney World parks are offered mostly on weekdays, and sometimes only two or three days a week. Many of them are closed to guests under 16, and most require separate admission to the appropriate park. No photography is allowed in backstage areas. Disney doesn’t provide complete listings of times and costs on its Web site (you can find some listed by searching on “tours”), but you can get information and book them by calling 407-939-8687.

Devlopers seek to create junk-filled lake for divers

The giant sand pit where the remains of a mammoth and saber-toothed tiger were once discovered may soon be filled with much more modern artifacts.

There are plans to throw in a bus, a couple antique fire trucks and even a space shuttle lookalike that once thrilled visitors at the now defunct Astroworld amusement park in Houston.

Why the random collection?

Developers are hoping the items and many others — including an old F-5 Navy jet already in the 50-acre pit — will help create one of the nation’s largest lakes reserved for scuba divers seeking to explore large objects.
