Ugh!
My daughter just informed me she will have an online class during our vacation. Has anyone needed a good internet connection for work or school during your vacation. We will be at BCV. She will probably have a test sometime during the week. What are our best options?
 
Many times. I have attended zoom lectures and written and submitted papers and assignments from beach, yacht, boardwalk, and swan with zero issues.
In a few weeks both my college daughter and I will be doing this from the Disney wish and the Riviera.
Digital Nomadding at its “Disney-est”.
Good luck to your daughter!

Thank you!!
 

DS and I stayed at BCV several times during Covid when all of his college classes were online, and he had no issues attending online lectures, doing homework, or taking tests. He also did a few Zoom classes on his phone in lines at the parks, but I wouldn’t suggest that if she wants to retain any important info!
 
I've done a few classes and meetings with resort wifi. It shouldn't be a problem.

Just so you are prepared, I had a lot of difficulty with connectivity on the Wish.
 
You’ve got your answer! Just wanted to say that it’s good to know I’m not alone in my need to work from WDW. Better than the office/school ;)!

Yes, shippernet is unpredictable at best. Use caution if you're trying to work and not take vacation days. 3 or 4 days of "technical issues" on land? That's gonna be suspicious.

Also, since Disney doesn't have internet packages, you're looking at fees by usage so for working or schooling, the price is going to add up.
 
We were just discussing this the other day. The only WDW resort where we’ve experienced sub-par Internet connectivity has been BLT. Perhaps it is better on the lower floors? (we’ve always been on either the 7th or 8th floor) It is pretty frustrating.
 
I would not count on Disney wifi.
Plan on using your own. A Hotspot device or your own data.
If it is not live, it will give her more freedom.
