AT&T?

[Cindylieu]

Any trouble with AT&T service in the parks? Just wanting to be prepared for any snags. Thanks.

We had no issues this summer, connectivity was just fine for our family of three.

In the past I've noticed several AT&T dead zones, but signals were better on our trip earlier this year. They must have made some improvements.

We had AT&T for years and didn’t have issues at Disneyland (but had issues lots of other places, including our house, where we had to have a microcell booster to even get service).

We switched to Verizon a few months ago and have had way more trouble at Disneyland. Better elsewhere! Bad at Disneyland. Can’t win...

Have AT&T and never have any problems, although there are some dead spots inside attractions like IJ and Soarin’.

It seems like all service providers can have issues in Disneyland.

I have AT&T and have not had that much trouble.
I was surprised how little data was used by leaving the APP on all the time.
I use to turn data on and off. But now I know I don't have to. Makes it so much easier through out the day!

Thanks friends!

The area between Toy Story Midway Mania and the Inside Out ride on Pixar Pier is a network dead zone. Calls and texts will go through, but internet tasks won't. It's also a wifi dead zone.

It's the only place I consistently have issues.

This is odd. We have Verizon and don't have trouble at DLR, other than the usual dead spots that everyone else deals with, too. Hmmm...

Even for those of us such as my wife and myself who travel over from the UK, we are with a UK provider called Three and get AT&T's network here on our phones. No major problems here so far (as we're in Anaheim at the moment) apart from one or two occasional dead spots, but this is soon rectified.

Same I have Verizon and always have service in the parks. Only dead zones are the typical ones (indy, Soarin’, haunted mansion in the elevator).

I will third this. Verizon has been extremely solid at the parks for us minus the exceptions listed.

I had Verizon for years, but early this year I switched to AT&T and I have found the service in the parks is definitely better with AT&T. I haven't found a dead zone yet and get service even in the cues for Guardians, Soarin', Indy, (never tried on HM) and other spots I used to never be able to connect (by the bathrooms in Adventureland was a prior dead zone for me). I will echo the prior poster's experience that at home my service is not as good. There are several stores and places that I used to get service at just fine, that are now total dead zones (so much so that I use my Verizon work cell as a hot spot sometimes to access my personal phone's apps and such). You really can't win...

I go with my friend at least once a year, I have AT&T and she has Verizon, she has a few more issues than I do, but neither is bad.

 

[ahhhshmatthew]

Echoing pretty much what everyone has said here, but we have AT&T and haven't had any horrible issues. I think because of the logistics of the park, some of the unavoidable dead zones and the potential for large crowds, cell service always has the possibility of being spotty at a place like Disneyland, but as an AT&T family I can report that we have never missed out on a MaxPass, reservation or anything else important as a result of cell service.

AT&T is the official wireless carrier of the U.S. Disney parks. So, they’ve got the best coverage. I’m never really on the phone at the parks, but I use my phone for the Disneyland app & a couple others pretty frequently. I can’t remember ever having it not work on AT&T. It’s one of the reasons I stick with them even though their customer service has become a nightmare over the years.

I’m an AT&T user and visit the park about 50 times a year. FWIW, I’ve never had the slightest trouble. Don’t forget that while the WiFi isn’t park-wide, it is very good in some places. At Pizza Planet, sitting around the main hub, on the wooden boardwalk in Frontierland, for example.

I use an AT&T owned MVNO and coverage is good. The main issue inside DL doesn’t seem to be coverage but congestion.
