Wifi at Disneyland

[Bob38dizfan]

I love wi-fing my iphone in my front pocket.

God, how did people even DEAL with Disneyland before WiFi? It boggles the mind.

...or maybe people just want something, like a new feature or attraction. It doesn't have to be so dramatic as to devastate the enjoyment of the Park if it's not implemented. This board is full of ideas to enhance the guest experience at the Park. However, none of them are a prerequisite to the guests having a fun day.

I have a question for those who have an iPhone and used it in the park. How is the coverage? are there any real big dead spots? Is the 3G coverage good?

Walt would have used WI-Fi.

Not if he was at the park with his grandkids. If he was working, sure. But not if he was in tourist mode.

If he was in tourist mode, he would be in Zermatt.

I would call the AT&T 3G coverage moderate at best.

We just switched from Verizon to AT&T. So far the coverage is comparable, however I have noticed a few times where I can't seem to make a call at all. But that may be attributed to my phone, it seems to lock up a bit.

The internet part rocks though.

So there's rumors abound that Wi-Fi infrastructure is being installed at Disneyland (finally). Of course, nothing is officially announced but the rumor trains are kicking this back up. (I will neither confirm or deny such happenings )

We asked the question on Twitter: How much you would pay for a day of wireless access at Disneyland and there was a wide array of opinions on the matter... here's a few that were brought up:

@micahjoemontana
@MouseInfo I say $10/day. Medium price point that will thin the herd of users, which is good. Don't see how/why every kid in park needs it

@wantsback2dis
@MouseInfo $2 as much as a charging station locker for day visitors. As much as parking add-on for AP holders but its unlimited for a year.

@RSAinsworth
@MouseInfo should be included in the Deluxe and Premier passes.

What do you think?

$5 a day, that's what I pay on Southwest and it's worth it. I actually don't need wifi in the park since my iphone has internet.

[refurbmike]

$5/day with free for APs might be good. Although, maybe they'll whitelist the sites you can get to, so you can only visit disney sites or something?
