Anything else on the wish list? Maybe a pillow menu? Oh - okay, free wireless. Denise

I don't think I'll ever stay at the DL hotels again, because I can go to the Candy Cane Inn - and get my wireless, parking AND breakfast included. If the Candy Cane Inn can have wireless, Disney should be able to as well.

It's much cheaper to stay behind the curve, wait and copy!
