Newsy Stuff

Friday July 17, 2009
• Check out some good family road trip itineraries put together at Country Inns and Suites: such as "Founding Fathers", which takes in Colonial Williamsburg VA, Kitty Hawk at North Carolina's Outer Banks, and Washington DC.

• The Great Wolf Lodge water park resort in Wisconsin Dells is getting MagiQuest - which is about time, I guess, considering that Wisconsin Dells is the home of the original Great Wolf Lodge and Great Wolf Lodgethe start of the whole trend in water park resorts. The MagiQuest interactive fantasy game is a signature feature at Great Wolf Lodges; when kids and teens aren't getting wet'n'wild, they flock through the resort playing the game.

• And this just in: Southwest Airlines has a Friends Fly and Play Free promotion for Disney World. Keep in mind that Southwest Airlines doesn't show up at farefinder sites, so it's a good idea to check their site directly for fares and deals.
