I don't remember if I have mentioned this before, so forgive me if this is repeat information. I am simply documenting all this business of getting ready for WDW!!!
I bought a used PDA for our first trip to WDW. I found one that had been used at trade shows. It's a Palm Z22, which is an entry level PDA device. It's inexpensive and gets the job done. I love it especially for WDW because I can use the guides that are found here:

You pay this guy $8 and he makes these different files that show all the park hours, the schedule for live entertainment, the menus, where restrooms are, all kinds of crazy information that may or may not be useful to you on your WDW trip. $8 if like for life. You can always go back and get the updated files. It's totally worth it. If you have something that supports iNotes, I think, he makes those files too.
On the day that we watched the Pirate Tutorial on our Spring Break trip, we were headed on our way out of the park. We had just ridden Splash Mtn. I decided to take a look at the schedule to see if there was any live acts that would be interesting to catch on our way out. Why yes, the Pirate Tutorial was scheduled to start. Let's head THAT way. For looking things up like that, I found it to be invaluable. Check it out in the morning. Look at it at lunch, etc etc. Then you can catch the various different things all around. Love it.
I just updated.
The updates come out on Sunday. That's something of a bummer if you arrive on Saturday. I need to work on making sure that my laptop and my Palm are compatable. And see how that all will work once we are there. I'll need to find some free wifi for sure. Anyone know where that would be?

At least what I find.
I may just take it all on the road with me and play with it in the hotel/resort, decorating the pages as we go, or whatever. I doubt that I will get to doing too much before we go. Time is getting short after all. But I bought the raw materials, and that's what really matters. 
). When we were traveling once, Peter and I drove into the parking lot of a local Lifetime Fitness to access the internet because they offer free wifi in the cafe there. So likely, if the signal is strong enough, you don't even have to leave your car to do a quick download to many of the aforementioned places.
