In memory of all those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Our thoughts continue to go out to all who lost family and friends. 21 years have passed but, the pain hasn't. I often mention that when I lived in the Bronx we watched as the Towers went up. I will never forget when they came down! Please take a few minutes today to remember the tragedy and honor all of those who rushed to help.

“Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party returns during Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration,” said Jodi Bainter, director of travel agency sales for The Walt Disney Company. "In addition to all the haunted happenings and special entertainment, we added even more fun with event-exclusive photo opportunities and a Halloween-themed 50th anniversary commemorative print."

The after-hours event takes place on select nights from Aug. 12 to Oct. 31. Clients can enter Magic Kingdom as early as 4 p.m. (reservations are not required, unless they plan to visit additional parks or enter Magic Kingdom earlier).
“We are thrilled for the return of favorite fall seasonal celebrations at Disneyland and Walt Disney World,” Bainter said. “And we are so grateful for the support of travel advisors, like Embassy Travel, Inc. who do an amazing job of helping our guests plan trips to Disney destinations.”

The experts analyzed the number of bars and clubs listed for each global city, with reference to the city’s population, to determine the total number of bars and clubs per 100,000 people and reveal the cities with the most bars per people.

The Global Cities with the Most Bars per People

Rank City, Country Bars & Clubs Listed on Tripadvisor Population Bars & Clubs Listed per 100,000 People
1 Prague, Czech Republic 631 1,318,085 47.87
2 Las Vegas, USA 283 675,592 41.89
3 Orlando, USA 117 292,059 40.06
4 Edinburgh, UK 188 548,206 34.29
5 San Francisco, USA 239 884,108 27.03
6 Amsterdam, Netherlands 263 1,165,898 22.56
7 Kraków, Poland 168 769,595 21.83
8 Dublin, Republic of Ireland 251 1,255,963 19.98
9 Miami, USA 89 483,395 18.41
10 Tallinn, Estonia 76 451,776 16.82
Ranking in first place, with the most bars, is Prague, home to 47.97 bars per 100,000 people. The city is one of the highest beer consuming nations in the world, so perhaps it’s no surprise that it comes out on top. The city has more than 600 bars listed, making it the perfect destination for a holiday tipple.

Las Vegas ranks in second place, with 41.89 bars listed for every 100,000 people. The bright lights of Las Vegas attract millions of tourists every year, with the nightlife being at the top of many visitors’ agendas.

Another of America’s most popular tourist towns comes in third place. Orlando has just over 40 bars listed per 100,000 people. Despite being a hugely popular destination, with lots of things to do (and places to drink!), Orlando is actually relatively small compared to many other major US cities, with a population of around 300,000 people.

4 US cities rank in the top 10, with San Francisco ranking 5th and Miami ranking 9th.
