WiFi Access at Disney Resorts?

[lucky_bunni]

I know we recently stayed at an Omni in Pitts, PA and they have WiFi access over the entire hotel. It was marvelous b/c I took my Powerbook and had instant net access all weekend. It really helped us in finding our way to the restaurants/clubs/attractions around Pitts. Does anyone know if any of the WDW Resorts now offers WiFi? Do they have plans to anytime soon?

i know they are currently installing high speed access in the resorts. OKW will be the last to receive it this spring. does that help?

I believe that YC/BC has wifi access in their lobby, and I'm pretty sure there a couple of other spots as well. There was a thread not too long ago about this, if I can find it I will post the link!

Ok, I got the info off of the other thread, here is what I read about wifi:

Wi-Fi: High Speed Wireless Internet Access is available to Guests staying at select Disney Resorts. Guests with Wi-Fi enabled laptop computers or PDA's will be able to access the Internet from the common areas of each resort. Smart City is the vendor providing this service and 24-hour technical support for those Guests who need it. Smart City will bill the Guest using a secure credit card transaction via the on-screen Internet connection.

Requirements: Requires a wireless interface card (WIC), available for purchase in the resort's business center.

Price: $4.99 for the first 60 minutes or $9.95 for 24 contiguous hours

Those charges are outragous! Omni and other hotel chains offer it complimentary... $4.99 for 60 minutes?? What a joke!! Omni also offers in-room access, not just in common areas. This doesn't reflect very good on Disney. I would have expected more. Thanks for the info guys!
