Anywhere to get online at the resorts if I don't have a computer?

[WDWorld2003]

Is there anywhere in WDW I can have access to an online computer for a few minutes? I don't mind paying and just need to check a few things once or twice during the week for a few minutes. We will be at SSR, then BCV... thanks for any help!

At SSR it might be closest to walk to the Buena VIsta Palace (old Wyndam) and use thier business center. (I can't remember much about it however)

At BCV, you can use the business center at the YC.

I have also used the one at the Dolphin. I like it because it has 24 hour access. It's unattended and you just stick your credit card in the machine and off you go.... (I have attempted to print a SW boarding pass at 1 in the morning here, but SW was having problems!)

There are also business centers at Corando Springs and the Contempoary.

Any ideas as to how much it does cost per minute?

Think and you shall receive...glad to see this thread pop up.

We are staying at Saratoga Springs and needed some computer and business access. We prefer not to lug the laptop for a few minutes of checking to see if we need to respond to any business e-mail. In addition-we are MAC users and the in-room connection rarely works (been there-done that).

We will have a rental car....so what is the closest-easiest place to use? Which is best-walking, driving or using Disney Transportation?

Here's a page loaded with info on wireless access.

Here's a list of hotels with free wireless access in public areas.

I'm still looking for places with computers available as well.

I found this, but there has to be something better.

"Does WDW have a 'business center' anywhere that I could use for a few minutes each day to access the internet? If so, is there a fee?"

Disney's Contemporary, Animal Kingdom Lodge, Grand Floridian, Coronado Springs, and Yacht and Beach Club have business centers where guests can surf the 'Net and check email. They're open every day 9 AM - 4 PM. Cost: $40 per hour. If you need less time, you can pay $10 for each 15 minutes you're on the Internet. They also charge $1 for each page you print.

"Internet Cafe" listed as one of the amenities here. I wonder if anyone here has had experience with this?

Here's one off site on International Drive. It seems very reasonable. $3. for the first 15 mins.

The kinko's on 535 near the new Winn Dixie has 24 hour access I'm told, I don't know the cost.

 

[MiaSRN62]

We've used the one Dean mentioned and it's .25 cents/minute. They are open 24 hours. For those who have a car, this Kinkos is maybe a 5 min drive (at most) past the Crossroads shopping center (same side of 535). There is a post office in that shopping center as well.

 

[CarolA]

I have used the Kinkos. If you have a car, I would recommend this site. Works well and is pretty reasonable. (More so then Disney) I can't remember the exact cost, but I know it was not bad.

how bout this for sneaky-- Last year I used the computers in innoventions in epcot to check my email and of course my fantasy baseball stats--

They are always changing that attraction, so I am not sure if it is still there, but in the middle of innoventions (west) there is a station with about five computer monitors- that are automatically logged onto DISNEY internet locations-

We used the Best Western Lake Buena Vista Resort Hotel

and it was "reasonable". It was 15 minutes for $2.00. We stayed at the SSR and walked over.

 

[WDWorld2003]

Thanks everyone..... Innovations - great idea! and also, the Best Western is a thought when I'm at SSR as I won't have a car.

Last month we needed to check in and print boarding passes for SouthWest so we were at MK our last day we walked over to Contemporary and used their buisness center ( in the convention center ) they said it was $10.00 for the first set time ( I think 15 minutes ) online and $2.50 for each color page printed. We were online for about 3 minutes and printed 2 pages and they told us to have a nice day , No charge . Thanks Disney.

Okay, I may be crazy , but all this talk about printing SW boarding passes reminds me that I swear I read somewhere that the concierge desk in the lobby would print these off for you. Has anyone else seen that info?

 

[Linda/Ohio]

I was at Coronado springs last month and the front desk printed my NWA boarding pass for me.

 

[LarryM]

The Swan and Dolphin have business centers as well. I used the one in swan (I believe) it is 24 hour access.

If you are in DisneyQuest you can use the computers there to access the internet, but you won't be able to print there. We have PAP's and use DQ's computers when we stay at SSR.

I also used the intenet at Disney Quest. They have a cute little "internet cafe".
