    I was thinking about this too. My laptop has died a death recently so I am in need of a new one. Should I buy one before I go, when I get to the US or can I live without one whilst I'm at Disney?

    I guess I would use it mostly for keeping in touch with home (messenger, VoIP etc..) and maybe downloading the odd UK tv show that I find I can't bear to be seperated from.

    As an aside, what are the computer facilities that Disney provide like?

    since i posted that earlier... i have been looking at laptops on the Walmart site and they look pretty much the same price. i think i will keep on saving and then decide after christmas ...prob get one from the UK if there are any Jan sale Laptops?!

    If anyone has any better ideas then let me know :)

    Hey i bought a laptop from Bestbuy for $400 Toshiba, really good value, so if you take like £200-£250 your gona get value 4 money, the way the exchange rate is!

    Is it true that using your UK laptop in florida can mess it up a bit? as in make it work much slower.

    I don't think so. Mine was fine while I was there, then konked out when I got home (trapping over 2000 pictures on it that will cost me at least £600 to get off), but it was about 4 years old anyway, and got a bit of a beating! My brother took his laptop (same as my new one) when he came to visit and had no problems.

    thats good to know! it's just that I read a comment by someone that said their hair straightners weren't ever the same again after using them in florida...and I kind of figured straighters, laptop...same thing lol

    Haha I took my Morphy Richards straightners, and although they warmed up a bit slower in the US, they were fine, and still are fine, at home.

    I think i'll just hand on and buy new ones out there, and then just leave them before i come home. in the mean time i might borrow yours ::) ::)

    You need to take an adaptor won't you for all your UK appliances? The special plug thing? Any idea where to get cheaply?

    places like wilkinsons have them i think, or argos. They're not expensive, I've seen them for around £3.
