Wired in room internet is available. They do not have wireless.

Do you have to bring your own little cord or do they have one?

Pretty sure you have to bring one.

I would to be safe..even if they provide one, who's to say someone else didn't steal it

They do have an ethernet cable, but it is fairly short, so you can use your pc on the beds. (The modem is hooked up to the little phone stand between the 2 beds, not at the main table or vanity table type mirror seating area.) We bought our own long ethernet cable, so that we could have our laptop on the table. You can also use a pocket router in your room to obtain wireless internet, but it is complicated to set up, and you would want to make sure you set the right security so as to not have other guests logging in to your wireless router setup. (DLink makes a nice pocket router, good for travel, but can be tricky for a novice to set up correctly.) The wired connection worked well. We brought a 5 foot ethernet cable from home, and it worked well.
Here's a link to the pocket router I was talking about...

The in room safe in the premium rooms was great to fit our laptop, cameras, etc.

And yes, the internet is free.

That is where I'm currently typing from!

I would agree about bringing your own ethernet cable, though. This one is pitifully short, and it's not that comfortable to slouch on the bed and type with wires running over my knees.

Great question - glad to know to bring a long cable!

Is the internet connection fast? I'll be staying at the HoJo in Jan. The last DL hotel I stayed at had painfully slow internet. I have to work online when I travel.

It's in DCA's Animation Building.

Yes, when I stayed at the HoJo last October the internet was very fast.

HTH

As SS Columbia pointed out, it's in the DCA building that houses the Animation Studio, Crush, etc. It's on the wall where you exit the building. I have great memories of that building - having spent countless hours in the main room listening to music and enjoying scenes from Disney movies with my little one while my dh and dd visited the animation studio again and again and again. Also, a great airconditioned space to sprawl out on the floor with a sleeping little one (I think I've even dozed there myself!) and just sit still and savor the Disney magic. Love that building.
