Temporary: FREE internet at the Contemporary Resort


A new free internet program is going to be tested at the Contemporary resort (Walt Disney World), that will start tomorrow, Friday March 25th, 2011. More information, from the resort:
____________________________________________________________________



Free Wireless Internet Pilot at Disney's Contemporary Resort. - Starting Friday, March 25, guests will be able to utilize free wireless Internet in certain areas of Disney's Contemporary Resort.

- FAQs -

- Where will the free wireless Internet access be available at Disney's Contemporary Resort?
Free wireless Internet access will be available only in the lobby; main pool area; The Wave Restaurant and lounge; and the Convention Center common areas.

- Why is this free Internet access available at Disney's Contemporary Resort, and why isn't it available at other Walt Disney World Resort hotels?
We're currently in the process of performing a pilot program to test a new design of a wireless/cell phone coverage configuration.  After the pilot is complete, we'll review potentially expanding this access to other areas of Walt Disney World Resort hotels.

- How can guests access the free wireless Internet?
When guests connect to the network using a wireless enabled device (e.g. laptop, cell phone, etc.), they will notice a network option labeled "Guest ­ Access (unsecured)".  Once they click on that option, they will be taken to a screen that prompts them to accept the terms and conditions.
After accepting the terms and conditions, they will have free wireless Internet access.

- How long is the pilot program, and will wireless Internet access in the pilot areas continue to be free, moving forward?
The success of this pilot will be monitored over the next 30 days and after we've reviewed the results, we can then determine if the tested setup will remain in place.

This sounds good to us. After all, they're testing this in a very busy hotel. It is also one of the most expensive ones, therefore having free wireless internet could be a very good perk. What do you think?

  1. Oh... this is a real good news... I have a little question... Are there actually any free internet access area, inside the Disney Parks?
