We're going on vacation to Orlando, Florida in a few weeks, and I thought it might be a good idea to take our laptop computer with us. We're renting a time-share, and I've confirmed that they don't have internet access. So, if we want to access the internet, we'll have to find it.

I'm generally computer savvy, but this is a gap in my knowledge. Currently, we only use the computer's wireless feature at home. My lone experience with attempting to connect at a WiFi hot spot was at a local McDonalds that advertised free WiFi. The only thing that was free was access to their web page. If I wanted anything else, I had to subscribe to a service.

Are there really "free" WiFi access points, or will we need to subscribe to a service? If we need to subscribe, are there any "pay as you go" services, or do I have to subscribe to one? How do we find access points? There are oh so many questions.

Any information or advice on this subject would be appreciated.
