Wi-Fi question

[pkondz]

I know WDW has free Wi-Fi now in the resorts and parks, but is it the same network everywhere or will I have to set up each park as I get to it?

If I recall correctly, the parks are all the same. Don't really know about resorts, as I didn't hop much (and always had cell service)

Once you log in, it will reconnect at every park without prompting.
Sometimes at the resorts I have to log back in to the "in room guest" network but not always.

It's all the same network, and for me personally, it always worked flawlessly

No it's not. I've come across at least 3 SSIDs. There are at least two at the resorts, I room guest and public area. There is a different SSID at the Parks, Disney a Guest, and I feel like there is another one there.

The thing is as long as your device is set to use DHCP ( it pretty much had to be) it will connect to the network it sees after you have made the initial connection. It will do it automatically for the rest of your trip.

To the OP, there is nothing to setup and no password required for any of the networks.

You're right, it was different at the resorts. I think I was getting confused with the parks.

Thanks for that info!

I was pretty impressed with the wifi. Sure there were slow and down times, but nothing worse than I have at home from my awful cable company.
