We like to be able to check our email, as well as get additional info on WDW even while we are at WDW, so we take our laptop. This is our first trip staying at Fort Wilderness, so we are not familiar with the options and reality of using the laptop there. I understand that we can use the connection at the "front desk" and also we have considered getting a cell phone modem and accessing via that.
As a practical matter, has anyone actually done either of these? Is the connection at the front desk readily available, does it run at a decent speed, any privacy, is there a very short time limit? Or regarding the cellular connection, has anyone tried that? I am concerned about maintaining a sufficient signal to make that a viable option. If it takes multiple tries and lots of time to even get to our email then that may not a realistic choice.
Again, it isn't as if we plan to surf for any extended period of time, but a few minutes of internet access every day or two would make our trip less stressful.
