Anyone staying in a WDW Value Resort 3/5-4/30

That's great they're adding the mini fridges. How we could have used that during our last stay at Pop Century!

That's for sure! We stayed back in 2006 and it would have been great to have that fridge for cold sodas, water, milk for cereal for breakfast in the room!!!

It's nice to see a lot of these things guests have been wanting in the rooms coming around finally. I know internet was a big thing for a lot of people and the idea of paying $9.99 for a 24 hour period was a bit pricey/petty, especially when you are spending thousands to stay on property for a week. The mini fridge is a good addition to the value resorts and I like the move a lot. I wonder if all of this is Disney finally listening to guest feedback or just "getting with the times".

I must say, I have AT&T and had very good coverage while we were at WDW. I couldn't get reception while I was inside some of the attraction buildings' queues, but overall, I couldn't complain at all!
EDIT: Actually I thought of one thing. There was a horrible lag time for texts it seemed. Not always, but a lot of the time

I too have AT&T... I hate them. That's all I'm gonna say.

I know this is off topic, but I have ATT and did experience enough issues with poor service last time I was in WDW. I think a lot of it had to do with when I was in the middle of the property.

Last time I was at WDW...mainly MK...I just put my phone on Airplane Mode...which kept it from draining the battery while standing in the longer queues. POTC and Space Mountain were two of the worst...I guess because of the massive amounts of structural steel and underground queues. It also kept me off my phone and allowed me to appreciate the great job the imagineers have done over the park's history.

I really didn't use my phone very much while I was in the parks. Occasionally while in a queue, I checked my email or the forums here, but for the most part, I only used my phone when we were on the buses or back at the hotel. In fact, it was only the last few days where I remembered to check the Disney wait time app. That would have saved me a few treks across the park seeing if things were open or closed

i tell ya, with the foursquare app, i want to check in at all the attractions... so Airplane mode for rides, then in open air, back on. i do not think i lost signal anywhere on park with VZW

Yeah...that's how I was the first few days. After that I just gave up and kept it on Airplane mode. I use the Lines App...so I did a good bit of wait time submitting those first few days. I mainly used my phone as a camera these past few trips...so keeping it in Airplane mode really helped me conserve battery with as many pictures as I was taking.
