Staying at Riverside : Show me pics, get me excited!!

I L-O-V-E POR
We always stayed out DVC resorts with our points for the most part but one thanksgiving our "home" resort was booked so we picked POR. To this day it sticks out in my mind as my favorite resort. The scenic river running through the resort, the beautiful moss covered trees and old plantation style hotel complexes. This is a beautiful resort. I hope to visit to take a few photos with my new camera next week when I visit

If anyone has a laptop with them, or other web-enabled device, could you take a few moments to try www.speedtest.net and see what sort of speed you're getting via the wi-fi?

Just installed the speedtest app on my iphone and here are the results:

Download speed: 0.97 Mbps
Upload speed: 0.34 Mbps
Ping: 116 ms

Hope that helps!

Thanks, not too shabby for free public wi-fi I guess, but not too speedy either (especially upstream).

My home results, using the equivalent Android speedtest.net app and my home broadband wi-fi for comparison, are: 44ms ping, 18.342 Mb/s upload, 2.024 Mb/s upload.

So there's still a bit of room for improvement...

Posted alot of these on the FAQ board for Riverside but thought I would come on over here to add them on this thread.

Don't stop, keep them coming.

Anyone have any bar drink pictures? Or food court pictures?
