CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 They could still be talking about complimentary wifi at the Settlement , the Meadow area, and the Outpost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 They could still be talking about complimentary wifi at the Settlement and the Outpost. Yup. They've been saying there's complimentary Wi-Fi at the Fort for years. And there is. Just not at your campsite. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
keith_h 420 Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 They could still be talking about complimentary wifi at the Settlement and the Outpost. Yup. They've been saying there's complimentary Wi-Fi at the Fort for years. And there is. Just not at your campsite. TCD I've had the same notice sent to me before all of this talk about seeing WiFi in the loops. I've always figured it referred to the Meadows, Outpost and Settlement areas. It also covered a small portion of the 1300 loop if you were close enough to the Meadows Trading Post to pick up the signal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jlf 7 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 We are here now and I don't have wifi. But in the 1200 loop, my hubby says there is a new telephone pole put up Today, saw a cast member walking around with a clip board looking up at the trees, then making notes Possible more poles or which trees to take out.

CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 There was a telephone pole set up on 703 while we were there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 The people walking around looking at the trees are Horticulturists. We saw a and talked to a couple of them over Halloween. They are looking for dead or dying trees or limbs that need to be removed. They are also checking for the potato vines that they are trying to keep out of public areas.

ceemike...Mike & Judy 50 Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 When I picked up my cable modem kit at the Meadows TP today, CM Edgardo sort of chuckled when I ask him about WiFi in the CG. He said he has heard the same rumor. Maybe in 2016. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted December 21, 2015 Report Share Posted December 21, 2015 I asked today when I picked up the Internet bag. The CM at the desk laughed when I said I had heard November, and said that they were told February then told to tell people March.

So, then, what was the deal with them putting up new poles in November? They did that and then nothing? Typical. It would be very hard for me to believe how badly they've botched something that every other business in America has been able to accomplish. Except, I've been around long enough to expect it. Have a great trip! TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have a great trip! TCD They are still putting them in, they were working in the 800 loop today (blocking the site we were originally assigned ) . I haven't looked to hard but haven't seen any of the poles in the 900 loop yet. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CJHokie 43 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Brought my own access point and got a modem here, and I gotta say this is the best wifi I've ever had at a campground. I wonder if they will continue to offer a modem kit after they have wifi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jbolen2 3 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 We were just there the 26-2nd on the 100 loop in site 102. I noticed there was a locked wifi access point named chip and dale. Not sure if this belonged to Disney or a individual camper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I would say camper. Mine is named Fortwilderness. I am sure I drive people crazy in our loop. It's my old router from our house. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 When I turned in modem package 91A on Jan 9th, I told the CM at the TP to save it for me in July. He said I won't need it by then, that they are projecting March for the WiFi installation, and they are ahead of schedule, likely completion in February. Related topic?: I was in 1004, next to the path to the 900 CS. On the 1005(?) side of the path, there was a wooden pole. I had assumed it was a dead tree the bark had fallen from. On closer examination, it is a commercial pole that has been cleaned of any bark, and perhaps rot protected. Is this one of the poles of which a few of you speak? It is shorter than the trees in the area, cut off flat on top, and apparently there for some time (no evidence of recent installation).. And as an aside, there were maybe 10+ dead trees along that path. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
