So, yesterday we were trying to redeem a DAS at Peter Pan. A delightful CM was trying to help us, but his handheld scanner wouldn't connect. The other CM was helping some wheelchair guests into the exit area, and this CM was like "I'm sorry, I need my friend to help me out here because my scanner won't connect so it might be a couple minutes." I said no hurry, and then made a joke about the horrible, spotty wifi in the parks, to which he replied "we're supposed to be getting upgraded wifi, but I don't know when it's going to be done."
Maybe this is what they need to do before Genie+ launches here? It makes sense. There are numerous wifi dead zones in the parks as well as numerous cell phone dead zones, depending on your carrier. I imagine there would be a LOT of unhappy guests if they couldn't reliably use the app they paid for.
On another note, at 12:00 I was in one of those cell phone dead zones where my internet speed was like 2mbps. I connected to the park wifi and it was not much faster (about 30mbps) but it was fast enough to get a RotR boarding group.
