Wifi in the parks?

[linzjriley]

So I'm looking forward to testing out magic bands and MM+. I will be bringing my iPhone with me for access to the MDE app etc... But coming from across the boarder I'm concerned about the quality of wifi access. I really want to avoid roaming fees. Anyone who has been down recently, how we'll was it working? Any issues?Should I consider a us data add on or just rely on kiosks in the park for quick FP+ changes if wifi is not working? Did you feel like you even needed it?

We were there the end of August. Great at the resorts. At the parks there are dead spaces. Best option is to be close to the buildings/stores throughout the parks. Restaurants were also all wired up.

Could it be better? Yes. But for free it was actually pretty good.

Web where in WDW at the end of August and the wifi was great except in Epcot in, it was spotty in the World show case area and it was hard to get on the wifi in the public areas at the resort

AK had the worst wifi for us. We couldn't get a connection there at all. The other 3 parks were hit and miss.

I'm hearing both positive and negative. For us Canadians adding a US travel pack is a pain and its costly. I was there in Feb and I thought that the wi-fi was horrible; I couldn't connect to many apps via wi-fi and had to switch to usage which was a pain. The resort was decent though ....

Hoping that when I get there in October I don't have problems like I did earlier this year.

We just got back. The resorts were great the parks were spotty, like others said lots of dead spots. I wouldn't pay just for FP+ I would just go to a kiosk or Guest Services, it only takes a few minutes. Or try to do most of it at the resort.

We are in Disney now and so far I have been impressed with the WiFi coverage inside MK, Epcot and Studios. We have not done AK yet. I can see how it would be spotty there however with its open spaces. Resorts seem good however. We have been at Poly, Pop and here at POR and strong signals. I have sent a few videos without problem at all.

We were there in August. As people have said, the resorts have good wifi and in the mornings at the parks wifi was good. I think the problem may be when so many are trying to access wifi in afternoon it becomes hard to get on. I made do. I mainly wanted to use my App for wait times. Sometimes to change FPs, and once to make dining ADR.
