Laptop/Internet/ContemporaryResort?

[sheamaria]

Going down for a week of school, have my new Dell laptop. I have a dial up connection at home in GA with alltel. What do I need to get online in my room at the Contemporary Resort? I was thinking of joining Earthlink/AOL for the free period.

1) Phone cable?
2) Ethernet cable?
3) Pricing?

Thanks a bunch for any help on this.

Hi!

I just returned from the CR last week. Here's the deal w/ the Internet Access.

They do have High Speed In the Rooms for $9.95 per 24hrs. - You just call the front desk, and they supply you the Ethernet Cable.

Or, They do have WiFi in the Main Areas of the Resort (Lobby, 4th Floor, Pool Area). For $4.95 60 minutes $9.95 24hrs.

Anymore Questions please don't hesistate to Ask.

** Be Sure to leave the Ethernet Cable in your room when you check out, If you take it w/ you they will charge you another $10 for the Cable.

So if I have a local AOL # and don't mind dial-up speed, can I hook up and remain online for 75 cent all day?

Off topic: Are there refrigerators in the rooms (non suites)? THANKS!

I think it's 75 cents per connection.

Yes there are refrigerators in rooms that aren't suites.

Yes, that's correct. One thing to consider - if you get a phone call the red message light will not come on while you are online. It happened to me when I was at OKW in May. The light only came on after I disconnected.
