Thrifty Thursday: Smarter Than Your Average Phone

There is pretty much nothing I hate more than getting that horrible text message notice that someone on my family plan has gone over our data plan. How does that even happen?! 

One thing I know for sure: I won’t be wasting my data in Disney World anymore! Disney World offers free wireless Internet access in all of its theme parks, all resort rooms and public spaces, and all feature pools and bus stops. 

And it’s super easy to access:

Just select the Disney Guest network, accept the terms of use and you’re in business. Easy peasey. 

Don’t expect super high speeds or anything super special. But it is wi-fi, and it is free. And it is a great way to keep your phone bill under control as you refresh the Lines App or access the Magical Meals e-book from your Dropbox account. 

Have you used the free Disney wi-fi? Let us know about your experience in the comments below.

Cast Member’s Corner: Disney Terminology 101

When I began my training to work at Walt Disney World I started by learning the typical things: safety, proper attire, and the actual working of the attractions.  But that wasn’t the only thing that I had to learn.  Working at Disney you have to learn their terminology.  If you’ve been to Disney World and spoken to the Cast Members, or read the signs around the park then you’ll understand what I mean.  Disney won’t ignore you, or only simply say hey.  The Cast Members are playing a part and they have their own scripts.  You are the Guest and the Cast Members are putting on a show just for you.

Cast Member’s Corner: Goofy Guests and Magical Memories

Working at Walt Disney World I got to see a lot of things both behind the scenes and out among the guests.  Being a guest at Walt Disney World you can also see most of these things as well, which makes visiting the parks both fun and entertaining.  Disney provides a lot of visual stimulation in it’s architecture and decoration but sometimes that’s not even the best part.  Sometimes the guests themselves provide the entertainment while other times, it is those who come with them who are creating the fun.
