Data Usage During an 8 day trip

[Disney Lvr of Old]

hi. Just wanted to share some stats on my data usage during my 8 days at Disney. We went to the parks every day, including arrival day for 4 hours.

I got maxpass 5 days.

From advice taken from the board I did not attempt to use the WiFi offered by Disney.

On full running commando days with 15-20 rides booked using maxpass I used 1/2 GB. This includes checking the map, other wait times and fast pass stats.

On days where we Took a break midday I used about .35mb because I used the HOJO WiFi to book MP from the hotel.

Days with no MP booked clocked in at around .20mb.

According to the tracking on my phone I was on the Disneyland app a total of 7 hours. I used 3.1gb total.

Hope this is helpful to some people who are worried about data usage.

I was meaning to check this when I got home and forgot so thanks for the reminder. We were there for 5 days as well, and we used MaxPass and I did not connect to the wireless in the parks as we have a lot of data so was not worried about running out. I used less than 500MB with that app during our time in Anaheim. We also had wifi at our hotel which I would have been connected to on days when we took a break and I booked fast passes during that time.

Did you leave the data on all the time or did you turn it on/off when looking at the app or booking MP's?

I did not turn off data the entire trip - as I said we have lots of data included in our plan so I knew I was not going to run out, if one were to be diligent I am sure they could use much less than I did.

Thank you! I was wondering about this as our first trip to DL is in May.

Thank you. Travelling from Australia where we have to buy international day passes for our phones. I have been worried that we would exceed limits.
