thankfully, payphone vandalism at WDW isn't too big of a problem, and the kiosks at the Contemporary are in very good shape for the year or so they've been there

There are obviously online filters, and advanced 'net-nanny' type progs that are on each one...take a hike over to disneyquest and you'll see what I mean.

I actually messed around with one of these. It is outside the Epcot guest relations and i was waiting for my parents so i checked out the free sites they had. The free sites are only disney.com stuff.

that's awesome... I'd be willing to pay $1 for the 4 minutes of internet access that will let me get my email and stuff while I'm there.. woohoo! a solution until I get my laptop!!! :sohappy:

I'm glad to see they support Hotmail. One I tried at an airport was a piece of crap. I paid the $2-3 minimmum only to find that they didn't allow you to access Hotmail. Grrr...:fork:

A few questions about the internet kiosks. How fast are they and are there really large crowds around them?

 

[savannahsmiles]

This is awesome! I go to school part time online, so this is great for me!!!

If you ever take JetBlue from JFK (NY) or to JFK, there are FREE kiosks near the cheap restaurant there...and they're FREE

when i was at epcot the only Internet Kiosk was tucked away in a corner. The only way you could was if you went to Guest relations. There was one guy who was on it while I was at guest relations for about 20 minutes and he got off after about 2 minutes.
