AT&T 3G coverage in each of the parks?

[CocoCoops]

Anyone have a park-by-park review of AT&T 3G coverage? I've heard mixed comments that AT&T coverage at all the parks of WDW isn't so hot.

I used my iPhone in all of the parks last year. Also used it at the resorts, DTD, and on the buses. I never had a problem and always had full coverage including 3G. If there are spots where coverage isn't available I didn't encounter them.

That is good to know since the new iPad will be using the 3G network for online access.

We've had AT&T for years and never had a problem in any of the parks or resorts. As you would expect, deep in the bowels of some of the attractions you won't get a signal. That's simply because of all the steel and concrete around you and not a shortcoming of AT&T's coverage.

Ditto!

My DH just purchased the iPhone for me last weekend in the plans of using it on our upcoming trip next week. I have already downloaded a bunch of Disney apps (included the one advertised here). Can't wait to use it.

We were wondering about this too, we have 6 iPhone's in our family & we're hoping for decent coverage! Sounds like we're in good shape!

I used my iphone everywhere during our visit in November and didn't have a problem. Before the iphone I had AT&T service on my old cell phones and didn't have a problem.

There are cell towers all over WDW property. Most are disguised as trees, so they are not readily visible. An example of one is near the CM lot at AK. It's the 'tree' that is 50 feet taller than the others. (No, not the Tree of Life)

Reception has never been a problem for us.

We've always had AT&T. Never had a problem with any of our phones, Blackberry or Iphone.

Just got back from Disney in January, very few problems with reception or data coverage. Only problems we had were getting 3G in some of the attractions. Never had voice problems, though.

You're planning on carrying around an ipad?

I guess you can but its a little big.

I've never had any problems with my AT&T phone in the parks or resorts. Of course, in some of the attractions, like Ellen's Energy Adventure, I only had one or two bars. But no, I don't think it should be a problem!

Those that have stayed at Wilderness Lodge how was the reception? I will need to teether my iPhone to my Laptop to connect for work purposes, (I know I'm on vacation). Just wanted to see how well the reception was inside the lodge and out by the pool.

Thanks in Advance!

Reception was fine for both DW and myself in the lobby, room, pool, beach, and bar.

Thanks PI! I have to do a few items of work, and I'm not looking forward to paying $9.95 a day to use what I already pay $20 a month for!

Our experience too.

We had no issues at WL in May of this year. In fact, that is probably where we had the best reception.

We were fine in all the parks but DHS. Reception was HORRIBLE there!! I had a friend who was there the same time as me and had the same issue at DHS.

Everywhere else was fine.

Yeah, I think I had problems last year when we were in DHS, I was trying to upload pictures to my Facebook profile of me going into the audtion room to my husband and friends. But the reception wasn't quite good.
