Zero Entry Pools & Internet Access

[Annette_VA]

Does anyone have a list of all the resorts that have zero entry pools?

Also, do all resorts have internet access available in the rooms? Do they provide cables? I have Wi-Fi at home, so I use a wireless card here & don't have cables.

I know conference hotels have Wi-Fi, but does anyone know if there are plans to roll it out to all resorts?

TIA!!

Polynesian, GF and AKL are all zero entry, perhaps CSR as well? not sure about that one though.

As far as high speed internet, you can borrow a cable from the hotel. I know the BW and BC have it, not sure about any others so far.

Annette_VA, if you need a zero-depth entry pool for medical reasons, please check out the Dis' disABILITIES board -- click here for disABILITIES board. I had an accident last year and found myself disabled with a WDW vacation approaching. If it weren't for the folks on that fine board, I would have cancelled my WDW vacation and had missed out on the vacation of a lifetime.

One of the resorts that I stayed in was the GF, and like Ducklite stated, they have a zero-depth entry pool. I lived in that pool and even used their water wheelchair once (I wrote about it in my trip report (click here) and posted links to photos of it).

I've stayed at the AKL a few times, too, and love their pool. I don't have a close-up photo of the zero-depth entry area, but I do have a far-away shot that shows it -- click here.

Besides AKL and GF, the Poly also has a zero entry pool. Here's a picture of it:

Some people are able to use the "bump" steps. Janet gave a good explanation of using the pool wheelchair and also the bump steps. Here's a picture of the bump steps at SAB.

Thanks for the nice plug, Janet.

Anything for you, SueM in MN! (You guys are the greatest over there on the disABILITIES board.) And thanks for posting links to those other photos.

AKL did not have anything but dial up access in February.

Thanks for the replies, everyone!

I'm actually just looking for zero entry because I think it would be fun/easy to play w/ my 2 ds's (1 & 3) in the entry area.
