'The Magic, The Memories and You!' to close for rework into a new show

Magic Kingdom's popular "The Magic, The Memories and You!" show is to close on September 3 2012 and is to be reworked into a completely new show. 

The new show is expected to use the same projection technology that made the current show so popular, and is expected to debute in time for the 2012 holidays.

Whilst the original "The Magic, The Memories and You!" show has recieved a number of updates and changes since it's launch in early 2011, this will be the first major change and is expected to also include a new name.


Complimentary WiFi now at the Magic Kingdom

Disney have activated park-wide free WiFi at the magic kingdom. We heard earlier in the week that a new 'Next Gen Experience' was set to debute this month, and it would appear that Disney opted to allow free WiFi over slower 3G wireless, to allow for a faster internet access experience. 

The other parks, as well as Downtown Disney will be given the same park-wide WiFi in the next few months. Disney completed a complimentary WiFi rollout at all of its resort hotels a few months ago.

Speeds of the WiFi have generally been slow to average, with guests reporting issues with video and voice calls using services such as Skype and FaceTime. WDWFans testes the resort WiFi at the beach club this week, and found the same results, with in-room WiFi being very slow (making voice and video calls impossible). The resort's lobby and pool wifi points were considerably faster, so the speed issues are likely down to signal quality and too many people on each connection.

It's expected that the WiFi service will improve over time as the rollout continues.

Character Meet and Greet shuffle at the Magic Kingdom

As part of a number of upcoming changes to the character meet and greet location at the Magic Kingdom, Ariel and Prince Eric are to be moved to a new location under the glass gazebo next to the Adventureland Veranda. This is located opposite the Swiss Family Treehouse.

The Adventureland Veranda will become home to Rapunzel and Flynn Rider, from the upcoming Disney-Pixar movie, "Brave" from April 15th through to the end of the summer, at which point it is speculated that they will occupy a new location at the former Skyway station in Fantasyland.
