WiFi at Port Orleans Riverside?

tinkerbell · 05-09-2009

Does POR have free wifi?

WDW92 · 05-09-2009

I don't think it's free. I believe that only DVC Resorts have free WiFi. But I'm not 100% sure.

tinkerbell · 05-09-2009

Thank you. Is wifi available at any of the parks?

WDW92 · 05-09-2009

No problem. :)

But for the parks I have no clue about. Try looking on Disney's website. Maybe they have some info.

tinkerbell · 05-09-2009

Thank you so much. We have not been since 2005 and I was hoping that by now there wifi some where on property. Even if it is not free.

goofy_scotty · 05-10-2009

I'm pretty sure POR actually doesn't even have WiFi for a fee... I think it's High-Speed Internet access (you pay like $10/day) you have to have a cord for... I had the same problem at All-Stars and Saratoga Springs.

tinkerbelle24 · 05-10-2009

When I was at POR last May they had a cord by the phone and I'm most certain there was a fee

evansfmly5 · 05-10-2009

It's hard to use the words FREE and DISNEY in the same sentence...lol...We stayed at POR in 07 and our friends used the in-room internet and there was a fee. I think it was 10 bucks.

Soundgod · 05-10-2009

All the resorts have WIRED high speed Internet service available at a cost of $10 for 24 contiguous hours. Network cables are usually in every room, but I travel with my own.
There are some common areas of some deluxe resorts that have WIRELESS, or WiFi service, but this is also at a $10 charge.
If you are already paying Sprint, Verizon, or AT&T for wireless Internet service, that is something different, and Disney is not involved.

Hey sTinkerbell! Nice to see you!

**cinderbella** · 05-10-2009

We miss you Tink!

tinkerbell · 05-11-2009

aww thank you Roxie and cinderbella :) and thanks everyone else on the info.

NokeyNose · 05-11-2009

I am confused, is it true the DVC resorts have wifi free?
