Free Wi-Fi

Been scrounging for info on whether wi-fi is finally free at Disneyworld. Yes it is according to AllEars website:

WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) High Speed Wireless Internet Access. As of March 2012, Walt Disney World Resort has announced that complimentary Wi-Fi service is now available in all Walt Disney World Resort hotels. You can now access Wi-Fi in your resort room, as well as in select common areas within your Disney hotel, including restaurants, bus loading zones, feature pools, arcades, convention spaces (if applicable) and the porte cochere. NOTE: This does not include the campsites at Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground. However, complimentary wired Internet access is available if you're staying there.

To connect to the network using a wireless-enabled device (e.g. laptop, cell phone, etc.), look for the network option labeled "Guest – Access (unsecured)". Once you click on that option, you'll be taken to a screen that prompts you to accept the terms and conditions. After accepting the terms and conditions, you'll have Wi-Fi access free of charge. For cell phone users, cellular carriers covered for the free Wi-Fi are AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile and MetroPCS. If you have trouble connecting to the complimentary Wi-Fi, contact Walt Disney World Telecom at 407-827-2732.
