I want to know if there is wifi In any parts of the parks?!?! I am going in October.And I have a teenager who LOVES her phone ! I would love for her to not be on it while at DW but I don't think it would be a nice trip if we took away her phone.”
Hi, Lisa! You are going to get your wish without having to be the one to take away the technology. Currently, there is not any Wi-Fi in the parks. Beginning on March 16, 2012, Walt Disney World Resort announced that complimentary Wi-Fi service is now available in all Walt Disney World Resort hotels. Guests can now access Wi-Fi in their resort rooms, as well as in select common areas within the Disney resort, including restaurants, bus loading zones, feature pools, arcades, convention spaces (if applicable), and the porte cochere. This does not, however, include the campsites at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. Guests at Fort Wilderness will find complimentary, wired Internet access. To connect to the resorts' networks using a wireless-enabled device (e.g. laptop, cell phone, etc.), she should look for the network option labeled "Guest – Access (unsecured)". Once your daughter clicks on that option, she'll be taken to a screen that prompts her to accept the terms and conditions. After accepting the terms and conditions, she'll have Wi-Fi access free of charge. For cell phone users, cellular carriers covered for the free Wi-Fi are AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and MetroPCS. If Guests have any trouble connecting to the complimentary Wi-Fi, they are advised to contact Walt Disney World Telecom at 407-827-2732. So, she will be able to use her phone at the Resort, but not while in the parks. Happy planning and have a Magical vacation!
