Actually, I didn't find that to be the case.  Both parks we stayed at had wi-fi that was good.  I believe most places are being forced to start upgrading their service.  At this place, hooking up to the wi-fi network was easy and good.  The problem is their internet provider. For that you have to log on a certain web page for some reason, just like you do at hotels.  The second place had the little poles just like the first with the radio hardware on them at various points in the park and hooking up there was also good.  The difference was that they provided the internet service access themselves and didn't make you jump through hoops proving you were actually a customer there.  If you know the password and join the network, you have internet and can do whatever you want.  I'm not sure why places like hotels and the first site do it this way, but my best guess is that this is how they control access a little more and keep people from stealing bandwidth.

 Occam's Razor suggests that the answer may be "follow the (potential) money". That becomes more likely if they want your email address and/or phone number.

You're probably right, bfh.  You have to give an email and name, so they're selling it to someone.  Ah, the world we live in.
