Oh with everything being so heavily reliant on using WiFi in the Disney Parks poor WiFi speeds and coverage is shocking.

I’ve tried to use the 02 roaming before and was paying for it but couldn’t even do a mobile food order!

We never had a problem with the WiFi either in the parks or hotels when we were there in July.

We even said what an improvement there was from our last visit three years prior.

We had problems in Animal Kingdom, but MK was OK, the I-phone was better than the Samsung in 2016, but we were able to book extra fast passes and order food online, so it wasn’t really a huge problem (hubby is with O2 and I’m with Virgin Media, but we were both on AT & T in the US)

Can’t believe we only get 3G though if the company throttles us back which O2 does!
I think the new play app doesn’t help!

I agree, the wi-fi in Disney parks was very hot and miss, especially when wanting to book new fast passes. I had a T-Mobile sim we had ordered from amazon before leaving, and found that the 4 G on that was much more reliable

Yikes! So difficult to choose what to do. I’m genuinely puzzled.

We have free WiFi with my Wife's EE contract. Thank God because the free WiFi is not good. Sometime it's ok but others it's dire.

Does EE roaming work well Tom?
O2 roaming which I was going to get is only guaranteed to be 3G at best even though sometimes in some US places you will get 4G!
Presumably when there is an R in the month and the wind in the right direction and about only 1 other person within a 50 mile radius is trying to use it st the same time!
