Thread: which cable company serves walt disney world?

I was wanting to get a copy of the channel lineup for disney world resorts and I can't figure out who provides the cable tv service there. I tried 32830 (the zip for lake buena vista) on time warner, comcast and bright house and all 3 told me that service isn't available there. I tried go2broadband.com and it told me that it couldn't figure out who serves lake buena vista.
So I figured I'd ask here and see if anyone can help me out.

I'm not sure whether this is still the case, but for decades, telecommunications on Disney property (which is technically it's own quasi-county, the "Reedy Creek Improvement District") was provided by a Disney subsidiary, Vista-United Telecommunications. I know that back 10-20 years ago, they were indeed the folks feeding the televisions in the hotel room. I haven't had the inclination on any of my more recent trips to check up on that. (I've been much more concerned about their Internet service, which I do know is sub-contracted to an outside company.)

If I recall correctly (we were there last in October), what they're offering in terms of channels is still pretty limited -- no more than what you'd expect from a standard expanded basic package. I seem to recall that maybe the local Orlando/Daytona stations were available in HD, but I don't remember any of the other channels being available in HD. Don't quote me on that though... I really don't remember.
