Laptops & Internet Access @ WDW

[MickeyMcMouse]

I am thinking of taking my laptop to VWL this time and wonder if anyone has experienced this.

I have AOL so I pressume all I need is a local dial up number to connect. If I make local calls from the room ( I think I seen a connection on the side of the phone for laptops or is it down beside the phone socket .... ) does this cost anything, as in the past I have been very wary of using hotel phones !

many thanks

Sorry, can't help with the question - just bumping up in the hope that someone else can!

Well, I don't know how UK AOL works with the US one, but I'll share what I do know.

Yes, there is a data port on all the Disney phones.

If you are in a regular Disney room, it cost 75cents a call, if you are DVC'ing on points then it's 45cents per call. Basically, as long as it's <b>local</b> call (if you're not sure, then check with the Front desk and they can confirm whether it's a local number or not), then that is ALL you pay for each call...no matter how long you're connected (unless it's a premium rate number) - so it's really not bad

Hi,
Be careful using AOL in the US as I believe they impose a £4 (yes FOUR POUNDS!!)per hour surcharge.Check "keyword billing" on the AOL front page.
