Wifi in parks - The DIS Discussion Forums

As the trip gets closer I have more and more questions!!!

I am wondering what the wifi in the parks is like. I have the Disney Experience app and I want to use the wait times and other features. However, I am from Canada and it will obviously cost me an arm and a leg to use this app if I am using data. Will I be able to get any decent wifi reception, or should I just resolve to not even bother with this app?

Slow and glitchy for some.

THIS current thread addresses these issues.

Should work fine for light use. It's really meant for people just like you, so thats who may have the best luck with it. Trying to live stream your trip on YouTube or uploading thousands of pictures doesn't work so well, but light use should be decent. We had minimal problems with it last week. Occasionally had to disconnect/reconnect but nothing major.

I used the wifi in the parks on my December trip and my January trip. I didn't have any issues either time. I had more issues with the wifi at the resort (primarily on the December trip) than anywhere else.

Obviously there aren't strong signals inside a lot of the attractions, but in shops and restaurants I didn't have any issues at all using the wifi, and outdoors I had excellent signals.
