   The  33 miners who spent more than two months trapped underground in a
   Chilean  mine  are  getting  a  free  trip to Walt Disney World in the
   southeastern U.S. city of Orlando, Florida.
   The  miners  and  their  families  will  spend  a  week at the resort,
   courtesy  of Disney head Bob Iger. Their trip will place at the end of
   January.  It  includes not only lodging and admission to theĀ  popular
   resort, but also spending money.
   Iger  said  the  Disney  Company is proud to welcome "these courageous
   men" and their families to Disney World.
   The  miners,  who  became  trapped  in  early  August, were rescued in
   October.  Their ordeal captivated people all over the world, and their
   rescue was shown live on worldwide TV.
