Michael Phelps is coming to Walt Disney World

Tbdmichaelphelps082908 Keep your eyes peeled if you're headed to Walt Disney World on Friday -- you might get caught up in the swim of things. The theme park is planning to host a special America's Homecoming Parade for Michael Phelps, this swimmer guy you may have heard about from late-night TV the last couple weeks.

Magic Kingdon guests will be able to celebrate the Olympic swimmer's 43 gold medals with lots of flag-waving and confetti throwing around 10:30 a.m. Both Walt Disney World and Disneyland did something similar for his return from Athens in 2004, so imagine how big this hoedown will be.

The good news: admission to the park is regular price for the event. The bad news: You'll have to fight every tbt* staffer with two X chromosomes to get in.
