DVC members to get free internet access in May
Disney Vacation Club members have recently received some very good news. According to DVCNews.com, the club will now be offering free internet access to members who are using their points. Here is a section of the release…
Based on Member feedback, the daily charge for wired high-speed Internet access for Members staying at Disney Vacation Club Resorts at the Walt Disney World® Resort will be discontinued effective May 4, 2008. Guests renting Disney Vacation Club accommodations will continue to pay the daily rate for access, and high-speed Internet access charges still apply to Members staying at non-Disney Vacation Club Resorts.
There are two reasons why this is a good thing. The first is that this is hopefully the first step for Disney to get with the program that hotels do not charge for internet access anymore. I can not remember the last time I went to a hotel, most far less expensive than Disney’s, and had to pay for internet access. It is now the norm to have free wireless access. Considering how much marketing Disney does to try and get businesses to have their functions at the Mouse, you would think they would have done this already. So they really need to expand on this concept way beyond DVC members.
The second reason is purely selfish. The entire staff of Mouse Extra will soon be spending over a week at Walt Disney World and now we will be able to blog live from the Boardwalk. Should we get on a Toy Story Mania preview, or anything else that simply can not wait, we will post it that night. Stay tuned…
