Internet access at PBH

[minijaffacake]

Hi , we are ending our holiday to Orlando in October with a 3 night stay at the PBH . We were hoping to be able to check in on line for our flight home and avoid the queues at the airport. We wont have a laptop with us, so wondered if there are any PC's available for use by guests that we could use to do this?

Thanks

They have business office where you can check your flight in and print off boarding passes. They do charge for the service but its not expensive. I want to say 10 cents for 10 minutes of computer use and 10 cents per pages printed.

While on this topic of internet access, do any of the hotels have internet acces in the rooms by any chance? I was spoiled last year at a timeshare that had free high speed internet, I just plugged in the supplied ethernet cable to my laptop, and off I went!

**Then again, the timeshare didn't have FOTL, which I will gladly take over free high speed internet**

Club at PBR has 2 wonderful PC's that work great. We used them often to send or check emails etc. They also have their own printers connected that worked fast and well! If you are staying Club the associates will also handle these things for you.

The in-room Internet access for $9.95 is through your TV with WebTV. It verges on bad, but it's better than nothing. You can bring your own laptop and connect it through a high speed Ethernet cable.

It is not just for web tv. That is just one of the options They also have internet access available at the phone and a wireless option for the $9.95/per day charge.

Last time we stayed at PBH, we had the wireless option enabled. DH and our neighbor who was travelling with us would sit at the dining room table with their laptops. Grrrr - working while on vacation. But I have some great pictures of them sitting there with the "dueling" laptops. Of course, I also had to check out the DIS boards

It is very easy to use. You just bring up the webpage (listed in the directions by the phone) and order how many days you want. Although, no discount for multiple days. The charge is then recorded on your room charge.

We have never had any problem with the service. And we use the inroom internet on every trip
