I'm pretty sure that we will go over our data using our phones, but we have a Mifi with unlimited data we can bring in if its allowed. If not, I have no problem leaving it in the room, but don't want to get stuck at the entrance and find out it's not allowed.
 
You can bring in your Mifi to use with your devices. It won't be a problem at all. :)

There's free wifi in the park, and it worked well for us. I'd suggest leaving this device in your room, one less thing to lug around all day long.

Really?! I had no idea there was Wifi in the parks. I learn something new everyday. I'm guessing it's in all 4 of the parks? Do you need a password?

No password required. Its in all the parks and in all the resorts. Some reports here on the DIS have stated that it works better in some parts of the resorts than others, but we've always had good luck with it. There are some buildings in the parks where the wifi signal isn't very good (inside Space Mountain was one of the the places we found it to be less than optimal), but once we went outside it was fine.

Ideally, bring your device with you on your trip to have as backup, but most likely, you won't need it.

The free wi-fi was awesome! Usually when I go on vacation, I end using so much data that I've gone over my plan. So before going to WDW, I added a few gigabytes just to be safe. It turns out it was unnecessary for my needs.

There are a few places where coverage was spottier, and when it's really crowded it can slow down so you have better coverage switching back to your cellular network. But I ended up using hardly any data at all. It's pretty impressive that the wi-fi network is as good as it is considering how much open space it must cover.
 
The in park wifi tends to work well for short applications but tends to be iffy for broadcasts and live feeds. Like if you are broadcasting a parade or firework, I've noticed that it tends to get interrupted often. I assume this is due to limited bandwidth issues when a lot of people are using the wifi in a particular area at once.
Or I could be wrong and I just stink at the internet.
Either way, it works well enough that you shouldn't need to bring the mifi.
 
Piggybacking onto the thread, and I'll post in the appropriate place if no one knows, but does anyone know if universal also has Wi-Fi?

They do. As an international visitor without data for the parks I found it very helpful for both resorts to have consistent wifi
 
Awesome news and thanks for all the replies. I think we will bring the Mifi just for traveling, but leave it in the room when we get there.
