The question of course: do you save more by getting a room discount or do you save more by getting the free dinning? That’s a tough call and something you should evaluate before deciding which package to accept.

I am cautiously optimistic about this. I know E.A. does not always produce the best titles, but they have the resources they can throw at this property and, hopefully, make some top notch games.

Disney Says New ‘Star Wars’ Films Will Open Every Summer Starting in 2015

I am actually okay with this. There is nothing saying that the films will all be sequels of each other. I think there is plenty of room in the Star Wars universe to have a new film every year.

The Disney Theme Park Wi-Fi Experience

Aaaron Del Prince writes about the current state of WiFi at the Walt Disney World Theme Parks:

> As Disney Parks continues its Next Gen rollout a big part of what was needed to drive it was theme park wireless Internet access. I’ve been on the Wi-Fi network and it seems very inconsistent at best.

“Inconsistent” is better than what I found last time I tried it, where I found it completely unusable[^fn1]. I hope that Disney can work to improve the WiFi going forward, otherwise, the MyMagic+ experience could be really problematic.

[^fn1]: Full Disclosure: I did try it the 2 days after Christmas
