Last Minute Questions

January 1st at 330am.. I will be heading out of Illinois to Florida!!!! I have a few questions that I hope you guys can help with:

1) Is there a post office on Disney property or a Post Office in Orlando? I plan on sending my gifts to people on the 2nd day I am there and do not want to go through Disney shipping if possible.

2) I am staying at Sports from the 8th until the 15th. Is there FREE WIFI anywhere there? If not, where are the free WIFI sports on Disney property?

There is no free wifi anywhere at WDW that i know of. IN your room you will have an access line to get internet(dsl i believe) for 9.99 a day. I cant help as far as a post office in or near WDW.

There is no post office on Disney property, but there is of course one in Orlando. I am not sure where exactly it is, but there will be someone to guide you if you need to go there.

There is no free WiFi available anywhere on Disney property. WiFi is available at only select resorts (Yacht and Beach, Contemporary, Grand Floridian, Coronado Springs, Fort Wilderness, Boardwalk). WiFi can be found at certain hotspots in the resort for a cost of 4.99 for the first 60 minutes or 9.95 for 24 hours.

All Disney resort rooms have a wired internet connection that can be accessed through an ethernet cable (which can be found in your room). The cost as mentioned above is 9.95 for 24 continuous hours.

There is a post office on Vineland by Opaca in Kissimmee and there is one in Celebration. Usps.com could probably give you exact addresses.

We are heading to Bloomington Normal Airport (BMI). Our flight leaves at 6am. I dont have the guts to drive to Orlando just yet but it seems like a fun drive. Have a safe trip down. Do you guys have a planned itenerary?

I presume you'll have a car. If so, as others have said there's a few post offices near property. The one right off of 192 in Celebration is probably the easiest to get to that I know of. Check the usps.gov website for other locations.

If you *won't* have a car... Pre-plan before your trip. Will you be mailing small things or big things? You can bring flattened boxes and a roll of packing tape in your luggage. If you might be buying heavier items, look into the Flat Rate boxes from the USPS. (Currently $9.80 regardless of weight, as long as it fits securely inside the Flat Rate boxes and is under 70 pounds) You can easily pre-purchase the postage for those and get the boxes from your local post office.
In either case, you can give the boxes with postage affixed to them to the front desk, and they will put them in with their daily mail pickup.

2) I am staying at Sports from the 8th until the 15th. Is there FREE WIFI anywhere there? If not, where are the free WIFI sports on Disney property?

I have heard that there is free WiFi at the Wide World of Sports, but have never been able to confirm it. And it might not be all areas of that complex.
