WiFi @ Disneyland

[dismom2011]

Is there free wifi in the parks?

TIA!

Nope. You can catch a little bit of the Grand Cali's wi-fi if you're by the gate near Grizzly River Rapids, but not park wide yet.

Can any visitor use the wifi in the Grand's lobby or do you need an access code? How is the wifi in the lobby?

edit: adding if there are any updates to if the wifi hotspots in the parks are better now than roll out.

Anyone can use it, no code needed.

This thread is a couple years old. There still isn't park wide reliable wi-fi, but there are hot spots now available in the parks.

As mom2rtk said, there are now wifi access points at select locations throughout DL. That being said, I haven't had a lot of luck using them. They don't seem all that reliable...especially during peak periods when there are a lot of guests in the area (e.g., parades, fireworks, etc.).

Right, just wondering if the wifi near the hotspots was working better than when first introduced as I had heard it didn't work so well at first. I realize the thread was old, should I have started a new one? Thought it would be better to update an older one plus had a question about GC lobby wifi so thought this would be a good thread to add on to.

The early posts say there is no wi-fi in the parks, just at GCH. While I hear the wi-fi hotspots added earlier this year aren't great, it's still more than was available a couple years ago.

Yes, sorry if I was unclear, I had realized that there wasn't wifi in the parks 2 years ago when I wrote my first post here, just wanted updates for how the wifi is now both in the lobby and around the hotspots. Guess I should have started a new thread to avoid confusion.

I don't know about the lobby, but the in-park "hotspots" are inconsistent and inconvenient at best, and completely nonfunctional much of the time. I was able to successfully connect a total of twice during eight park days in September. I usually just leave my wifi off now to save battery.

Is there a handy little map that shows the wifi hotspots? Is Downtown Disney included too?
