The 2012 Olympic Games are now history, but a current Walt Disney World® Resort cast member is still reflecting on his previous quest for gold.

Joey Hagerty, a 2008 Olympic bronze medalist, now fills the role of a tumble monkey in Disney’s Animal Kingdom® Theme Park’s Festival of the Lion King show. Take a look as Joey reflects on his past experience as an Olympian and how it has helped him transition into this highly-rated Disney Parks show.

Staying connected just got a little easier at Magic Kingdom® Park!

We all know what a frustration a weak mobile signal can be when trying to access the internet through our mobile device. Whether we are trying to stay connected with family and friends at home, access our favorite in-park app, keep our social media feeds up to date or just need the occasional connection to our work…a weak mobile signal can send us to a screeching halt.

All of that is changing in Magic Kingdom® Park.

As Fox News and other agencies reported earlier this month, the 1^st of August brought about another major perk at Walt Disney World® Resort as they quietly rolled out free Wi-Fi in Magic Kingdom® Park!

The “Disney-Guest” network is now online in Magic Kingdom® Park, allowing you to access free Wi-Fi while in the park! As a great compliment to the now free Wi-Fi in Walt Disney World® Resort hotels, keeping your Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites up to date with your latest vacation fun is even easier!

Walt Disney World® Resort doesn’t intend to stop there either! There are plans to extend the free Wi-Fi coverage into their other three Orlando parks as well.

With the continued popularity of mobile and internet devices, free Wi-Fi just enhances the ability to enjoy your time in the park, while sharing it with others on the outside!

Remember though, don’t work too much, after all, Walt Disney World® Resort is supposed to be a dream vacation!

With Halloween Time just around the corner, Disneyland® Park’s Haunted Mansion® Attraction will receive its holiday overlay. Every year, the attraction is transformed from a haunted house to a Halloween town inspired by Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. To perform the makeover, Jack Skellington and his crew will have the attraction closed from Aug. 27 – Sep. 13, 2012.

In celebration of season, the Walt Disney Travel Company is offering a special Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” 3’’ Vinylmation™ Figure for packages traveling between Sep. 1 – Nov. 25, 2012*. Vinylmation™ Figures are the newest trend in Disney collectibles and come in many different sizes and themes. After redemption, the Vinylmation™ can be kept or traded at one of the many on property merchandise locations.

For more details on this offer, contact your Magic Maker®.

*One (1) Vinylmation™ Figure per package, as designated by Disney, while supplies last.  Tim Burton’s “The Nightmare Before Christmas” Vinylmation™ Figures will vary.  Subject to restrictions and change without notice. For packages with arrivals between 9/1/12 through 11/25/12. Clients will receive a voucher for one Vinylmation™ Figure in their Vacation Package documents, which can be redeemed at the World of Disney® Store at Downtown Disney® District. Guests are welcome to participate in Vinylmation trading at any Disneyland Resort merchandise location that sells Vinylmation items. Please refer to the voucher for additional information regarding Vinylmation Trading.
