Back in October of 2011, the Walt Disney World Resort started installing complimentary Wi-Fi in a number of their Deluxe and a few Moderate resorts. It was a bit of a test to see how things would work out and it appears they went smoothly as now the free Wi-Fi is available at all Walt Disney World Resorts.
Now, you’ll likely be able to find the hot spots in plenty of places, but not up to full strength. All the resorts, except for the Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground, will have Wi-Fi available at these locations:
- Guest Rooms
- Bus Stops
- Porte Cochere
- Main Lobby
- Featured Pool
It’s really easy to access the Wi-Fi as all guests have to do is bring up the network called “Guest-Access,” click it, and follow the instructions to sign in. So much better and convenient than the $10 for 24 hours internet accessed only through an Ethernet cord.
A number of resorts, mostly Deluxe and Moderate, have additional locations where the Wi-Fi can be accessed. WDWforgrownups made a great list of these extra locations:
