Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 As for the free wi-fi when we were there in November we had internet issues ( a surpsise ) got a chance to talk to the tech on call, he told me they have already begun wifi installation in the fort, they were instaling the nodes and hubs that begin the process, he also stated that it will take a while to get everything installed and wired and configured, he said the proposed completion hopefully would be around august or september 2012. ....It is currently available at the Pool, Outpost, Trails End, and I think she said both Trading posts.

I know b/c I called from the trading post porch asking when we couldn't connect. Are you saying they updated that in the past month or so? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rdancemom... Pam 113 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 That's be terrific Dave! I never could understand how BC/YC, BWI, and CR could have free wifi in their lobby & pool areas for years but the other resorts didn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You log into "Disney Guest"..Way to Go, Dave!That is big news. It was definitely not free when I was there just over two weeks ago.You mentioned that there is a wireless signal at the Outpost. Is the Internet Cafe (the little room on the first floor of the building in the middle of the check-in lanes) open?TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But since there still seemed to be some confusion I though I would and check it out myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While they're spending hundreds and in some cases thousands of dollars a year on those silly smart phones, BTW can you even make phone calls with those, that they think they can't live without, we'll be living the high life with all that extra money.
