Funny you noticed that too.  We had a Wifi project in the works and so I called 
them last year, to ask about their solution because I was impressed with the 
performance for an installation of that size and crown density.  (Yes, I tested 
it while I was there).  Unfortunately they would tell me absolutely nothing.  
"For security reasons."    I wasn't surprised, but if anyone else has any 
better luck, I'd be interested too.  Took about 20 minutes of calling around to 
get that answer I think.  Their IT people at that level are not easy to get 
without inside information.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Disney's Free Wi-Fi

I just came back from a trip to Disney World and I was blown away about the 
availability of their Wi-Fi network. It covers all the Disney Hotels, parks (I 
believe with the exception of the water parks) and the Disney Springs district. 
From the MAC address of a couple of WAPs, it appears they use Aruba. The 
coverage is impressive, and the connectivity is good; although reliability is 
decent, but I can forgive them knowing what a humongous task it takes to deploy 
such a massive network.

Does anybody know any more details about how this network was deployed? I 
looked and looked for places where I could see WAPs but didn't see a thing. 
However they did it, it is impressive.

Oh BTW, I did enjoy the park too. :)
