    I know I'm a little late in responding to this, but I just wanted to add that my sister (aka DisneyScarlie) used one of these at Epcot to check her email. I think it cost about 25 cents a minute; it ended up costing her $1.25, which I thought was pretty reasonable to read and respond to an email! Anyway, we both thought that they were pretty neat and a nice addition. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

    I think this a great addition to WDW. It will be great. Does anyone know if it will allow you to check any e-mail account?? I used a Internet terminal at Disney Quest a few years ago but I could only go to certain Sites IE. GO.com Disney.com etc

    Credo96 - My sister used one of the ones at Epcot to check her college email account. I think it will let you check any web-based email account. [img]smile.gif[/img]

    Is nothing sacred? Can't we just be on vacation anymore.... ugh. It's bad enough I have to have my cell phone on all the time becasue I am on call but now will I be expected to check email while I am in the parks too?

    I like the idea of Internet Kiosks but would prefer they were outside the parks at the resorts, outside the main gate, monorail stations... anywhere but in the parks.

    At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

    I totally agree with you an unless I'm expecting something urgent (but then they can call my cellphone), I don't plan on using them. Sad to say, they probably will be popular.

    What *did* we do before the era of these electronic pariahs?

    Before cell phones, email, pagers, etc, we could truly go on vacation and lose ourselves in the moment.
