Internet at VWL?

[skorpie]

I checked this board through the search engine and saw posts that were still frustrated with the internet at VWL. Are there any updates-is there or is there not FREE internet at VWL? We're leaving on Thursday! Thanks.

It is free for members staying on points.

It should be noted that, when you first connect to the Internet, you are taken to a login screen and asked to agree to the "terms and conditions". It says there is a $9.95 charge per day, but it also indicates that the charge does not apply to Disney Vacation Club members using points. Once you agree and click on continue, you will automatically be redirected to the main Disney.com page. I usually stop that page from loading -- since it loads up so much Macromedia and Flash stuff that it brings my small laptop to a screeching halt -- and go right to my normal homepage.

By the way, I also have one of those compact Linksys wireless routers I use. I believe that model is no longer available, but I would highly recommend taking some kind of wireless router along with you. Even a "fullsize" router takes up very little space, doesn't weigh much, and the cost is very reasonable. I would practice setting it up in your home environment before taking it on the road, but once you've used it you won't want to go to WDW without it!
