In room Data ports (on line connection)?

[travel with kids]

do any of the WDW Resorts have "in room on-line connection"? If so, which ones...Thanks

Not sure what you are asking but there are data ports on the phone. This can be used for dialing up your internet provider. You need a laptop for this.

Some of the resorts now have high speed internet.

Do you know if they charge for a local phone call to use the data ports?

The calls cost 75 cents each. No additional per minute charges. Just have the local access numbers for your internet provider and check with the front desk to make sure it is a local number.

Yes, I have a laptop. I need to find a room that has a data port. High Speed internet service is even better. Do you know which resorts have this?

All the rooms have data ports.

Found this by doing a search on the Dis boards.
