WooHoo!!

That's great news. We always spend a fortune on the Internet connection.

Is there only "one drop" or connection per room? If one were to rent out a 2 bdrm. villa, would there be a internet drop in the studio, main living room area, and master bedroom area? Could be a little tough if there were only one connection for a party of 8 !

 

[BWV Dreamin]

Does each type of villa have only one drop or internet "connection"? Would a 2 bdrm. villa say have a drop in the studio, main living area, and master bedroom area? Or would there only be one "connection" per villa available? This could be tough for a party of 8?

AS far as I know (at OKW) there is a drop in the studio portion and the living room/dining room area of a two bedroom lockoff. I don't know if dedicated 2 bdrms have the same configuration for internet, or not.

Bring a wireless router and your problem is solved! Plus you can sit out on your balcony and remain connected

Oh you are too smart!!!!!

At BCV, there is an outlet in the living room and in the second BR near the table in lockoffs.

In our 1 BR at SSR, there was an outlet in the desk in the master BR. I didn't have my laptop along though so can't attest to it working.

One option some use is to take a wireless router with them. Hook that up to the ethernet line and you have wireless Internet anywhere in the villa.

Per Doc's thread, the service is free when staying on points.

So this only starts in 2008? I am going next week. It's a little dissappointing. I am still excited for next trip.

Hey Jim,

that is a great idea. do you have any experience in doing that? Is it easy to hook up? I haven't used Disney internet yet, but most of the hotels i've stayed at require a sort of log in page thru IE, and I am unsure how you would negotiate that with a router.

I'd be even happier if HHI & VB brought some sort of connection to the rooms.

 

[PatsMom]

I think this is great news. My company likes me to "stay in touch" but I refuse to leave my cell phone on. So we've settled for checking my e-mail every morning before we head out to the parks.They were very surprised when I told them they would have to reimburse me for the internet charges if they wanted me to communicate with them! They'll be happy in February when I tell them it is now free.

Rob, if I'm not mistaken, there is already wireless available in the lobby of Vero Beach. So, maybe those with OVIR ressies will have access to WIFI!

I'm at BWV right now in a dedicated studio and am hooked up behind the nightstand (where the box is). There is another hookup next to the TV stand.
