How bad is sprint coverage in the parks?

I'm guessing we can't rely on wifi to use the mde app or website to adjust fastpasses...so how bad is Sprints coverage there?

We have Sprint and it works pretty well.

The wifi seems to be MUCH better than it was a year ago, though. I was able to use it consistently when we were there last month!

I have Sprint, it worked good for MDE. Never tried the wi-fi.

I have Sprint and it is decent in the parks. There are a few dead zones but I've never had it completely gone.

The big problem with Disney is not the cell reception but the sheer number of people pinging off the same towers. So you can have amazing signal but the service is going to take a hit when you have ten thousand other people with the same carrier in the same space as MK.

I have sprint and my LTE was super fast in the parks.

I have Sprint and didn't have any problems!

This is good to know! In my hometown there is only lte on main roads and the 3G doesn't work much at all.

We were there last week with our Sprint phones - we had no problems. Used the park/resort wifi pretty much the whole time and was able to do everything we needed to do.

I have Sprint and had no issues at all last month but actually the wifi worked very well, much better than it did when we were there in January! I relied almost solely on the wifi.

I have Sprint too and it works very good. There is a Sprint tower pretty close to the Magic Kingdom so service is pretty good - especially at Epcot. We use wifi at all the parks but when there are gaps, my LTE does a great job filling in and there is very little lag in using the MDE app. We have iPhone 6 and 6S and they work very good in the park. I'm assuming androids should do just as good.

It's definitely gotten better over the last few years. I usually put it on airplane mode when I'm going on a ride or even into a line where I won't be using it - helps conserve the battery.

Sprint worked much better at WDW than it does here on the in Kansas.
