Free Wifi Coming to Epcot

For those of us who don't own a Smart Phone (mine, in fact, is beyond stupid), but do, in fact, own an iPod Touch or iPad (check and check), this is going to be great news. For the first time ever, free wifi will be available in Epcot, in conjunction with the Brave-inspired "Highland Games Tournament" that start today and will run through July 8. I'm not sure exactly how wifi fits into this particular event, or if the free wifi might possibly extend beyond this event (please, oh please!), but I see this as a great sign for things to come!

WDW Ramps Up Summer Offerings

School's out for most kids, and with a climb in attendance just around the corner, Walt Disney World is adding entertainment, special events, and additional dining options for summer. Here's a brief rundown:

• Disney's Hollywood Studios' "Star Wars Weekends" are well underway and will continue through June 10.


• Magic Kingdom has already begun running a summer edition of "The Magic, the Memories, and You" which features a sand castle scene, surfing, water skiing, and all sorts of other summer images.


• Animal Kingdom will introduce a "Sundown Celebration" from June 3-30. While we have no specific details, the name itself indicates that the park will likely be open later into the evening. Expect additional food and entertainment offerings.


• From June 1 through July 8, Epcot is hosting "The Highland Games Tournament" to tie in with the upcoming release of Brave. A sand sculpture and playground have already been built, and there will be Scottish games and other representations of Scottish culture featured.

In addition, expect most attractions and restaurants that are listed as "open seasonally" to be open throughout the summer months.
