Availability: All Disney resorts have in-room High-Speed Internet Access. WDW Swan and Dolphin also have high-speed internet access in their rooms.

NOTE: Disney Vacation Club Members have "free" wired broadband internet access when staying in a Disney Vacation Club Resort on points. (This perk began in January 2008.)

The WDW Swan and Dolphin Resorts include use of High-Speed Internet access in the $10/night resort fee that is charged. (tax not included).

Requirements: A Local Area Network (LAN) cable is provided in resort rooms, usually in a bag on a hanger in the closet area. If you do not have one, request one from the front desk.

Technical Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by touching 56 from any Disney resort room or house phone.

Other Information:

If you do not want to or can not use the in-room HSIA, you have several other options. You may use regular dial-up in the room (check for telephone charges), use wireless connections (see above for details) or visit a resort with a business center (convention hotels).

Only one device can be plugged into the HSIA terminal at a time.

Most rooms have cables in the closet. Some rooms have cables connected to the modem.
