Disney Parks Adding Free Wi-Fi

The Disney theme parks are known for customer service, and usually are ahead of the curve when it comes to deploying things that make for a better guest experience. Today the Orlando Sentinel reports that they are adding free Wi-Fi to their guest experiences.

Wi-Fi is really helpful to guests because the size of the theme parks that Disney operates are so large that always receiving cellular signals isn't easy, plus with the concentration of attendees backhaul networks get challenged. By adding free Wi-Fi Disney also gets to use the Wi-Fi and apps to help communicate with their patrons. Imagin the pass being a QR code on your smartphone. Now imagine real time location tracking with a Wi-Fi phone. Add in Disney maps, the ability to stream media to their guests and to deliver more new services.
