+pc+ WDW was supposedly bringing hi-speed internet access to all its resorts, and Wi-Fi access to some. Does anyone know which resorts currently have them or are in the process of getting them? I'm especially interested in knowing what kind of access is available at PO: Riverside and the Polynesian. Thanks!
Looks like its mainly DVC, someDeluxes,and CS at the moment:

thanks, Amanda. I had looked at AllEarsNet first, and that info is at least a year old. Anyone know if any further progress has been made?
Actually, I called yesterday for an update, as I was booking my trip in April.
The info is pretty accurate, as I inquired about a number of resorts. For any of the Moderates/Value, they tell you that you need to use the business centers in the Contemporary, Coronado, Baordwalk, etc. Too bad. No reason not to have them in all the resorts.
Can't more recent than that! Thank you, Lou.
Too bad is right!
Do the business centers have printers you can use w/ your own computer, or do you have to use their computer?
I haven't been to the biz centers in WDW, but they usllay have a PC that you can use to access the net, get your email, use MS Office, check in on DWT.com, etc. :)
No kidding! If Deanna doesn't have your baby before August 20th, that's exactly what I'll be doing! :grin:Quote:
