It's. About. Damn. Time.

To be fair, Disneyland and Knott's have yet to offer Wi-Fi service.

^ William probably meant in general. It should be offered everywhere. Universal Orlando offers it now as well

 

[William]

Yep haha. I used UOR's free WiFi everywhere I went. I dunno, it just seems like it should've began being offered in theme parks years ago. I was totally bummed when Starbucks opened in the Lower Lot and I found out they didn't even offer WiFi.

...buuuuut hey, I'm not complaining. Just don't pull another T-Rex Barbecue and snatch this amenity out of our hands in less than a month!

With all the infrastructure so far, I'm guessing it's here to stay. It's powered by Comcast, and it's following the same mold as Orlando's system down to the last tick.

Curious, in the article you said first to offer WiFi among SoCal parks, what NorCal parks have WiFi?

Disneyland San Francisco and Universal Studios Sacramento.

Is this still occurring through the park or has the service been discontinued?

 

[Jon Fu]

They turned it off last Friday night during Horror Nights. I'm not sure if it's still turned off.

 

[Allen The Actor]

WiFi turned off. Not THAT is horror!

 

[...]

Wifi is still live in Universal Plaza and the Lower Lot.

 

[William]

I wish they'd keep it on for HHN. The cell service during the event is atrocious.

 

[transfo]

Does it stay on during regular park hours on HHN? I'm getting a good 4 bar signal at Panda.

 

[Jon Fu]

Apparently it's on and off for Horror Nights. Mixed reports so far.
