If you Nickle and Dime, then don't Whine

Apologies for the lack of postings. We are staying at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. Convenient building layout, spotlessly clean, heated pool and curteous staff. Our vacation is fantastic so far.

Also charging $6.99 per day for Internet Access. What? In this day and age, when wireless Broadband costs about $50 per month, Caribe Royale charges $6.99 for 24 hours. And it increases on 1/1/08 when the trend is for Internet costs to decrease. Even airports have free Internet access.

Their website says: "Finally, because we believe that broadband access is no longer a luxury, but a necessity, high-speed internet access* is available in all our suites". The * states "Daily fee required".

At the price we are paying for this suite I don't expect Nickle and Dime mentality. On principle, I have only purchased 24 hour access to create this blog posting. I will post the rest of my Disney Diary (with photos) when we get to a free access point, or home.

Don't whine when we stay at the Marriot next time, for free Internet access.
