Walt Disney World - WiFi?

[dadofgage]

I am heading this WDW this weekend - are you aware of anywhere on Disney property that has broadband internet through WiFi?

 

If not on Disney property, anywhere close?

Yes--for a charge.

There is a McDonald's on property, I don't know if they offer the free WiFi that most other McDonalds do.

I thought they did. I'll get back to you on that.

 

EDIT: Most people on WDWMAGIC are doubting it.

I good way to see if a McDonalds offers the free WiFi is to go to the NintendoDS site. Most corprate owned McDownalds do. The one at the corner of SR535 and Hotel Plaza BLVD (just a few blocks from Downdown Disney in the Crossroads shopping center) does.
