Hector, we must have just missed each other, I flew home today. The Coke store in Disney Springs was crazy. Lots and lots of Cisco APs, with a single Aruba on each floor (for Disney I'm assuming). I had some initial funkiness on my iPhone where I was rapidly disconnecting and reconnecting, but settled down in about 20 seconds and was solid the rest of the time. I assume I was bumping into an RSSI cutoff or clientmatch was being too bossy. Other than some APs in retail stores, I found none visible. Worked very well for me.
Universal didn't do anywhere near as good of a job at hiding APs. Skull island and Harry Potter had them in the ceiling, with blackout covers on them (aside from bright green LED showing). I saw lots of them, but didn't get to test (wife took away my phone). Outside and inside of MIB there were lots of terrawave antennas visible (painted silver outdoors). The Daytona 500 on Sunday was lackluster. Dhcp fell over multiple times with some DNS issues throughout the day. For me as a fan, and the RF was really suboptimal in the fan seating. When it did work, it seemed ok. Das felt slow, but functional for light texting. Lots of pics from there when we did the tour. Ruckus in the track, cisco in the museum/office areas and UBNT for the connectivity to booths/tents outdoors. Glad I'm not managing that.
