Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted September 8, 2014 Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 The tech people have been saying that for years which would mean a proliferation of antennas so eveyone gets a good useable signal. The other alternative is remove the trees and vegetation between sites. Correct. They also said that Fort campers have to put up with the crazy digital cable line up with dashes in the channel numbers and no on-screen guide because that has something to do with bringing us Wi-Fi. Why don't they just give it up and tell us there isn't going to be any Wi-Fi? I still haven't heard the official excuse why they can't get the MB's to work on the Comfort Station doors.

Put them in 2 or 3 locations and broadcast Wi-Fi and non stop Disney programming along with subliminal messages to love the Fort management and spend more $$$. Aluminum Foil hats anyone?

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 My husband installs wifi that covers entire parks and cities. I think It could be done. I might just get him to log in and nerd out a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 When I was here in september, i noticed on the 900 loop comfort station they had installed additional readers similar to FP+ stations. I found out this trip it was the ONLY CS doors they were installed on. Several times during our trip. CMs were the with a laptop testing or fiddling with programming. Today the special scanners were covered with boxes or removed and the holes in the wall covered with boxes. So who knows what they were trying to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You can plan 90 days out when your going. :rotfl6: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Last weekend the bands worked at the gate, and when I drove to Port Orleans they scanned it and welcomed me by name at the gate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 they scanned it and welcomed me by name at the gate. I have a problem with that and I will not use a MB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pirate Jeff 9 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 As November 1st out of the 6 magic bands we have only 1 will opened the CS and the Laundry room & none opened the gate. When I changed to a different band colors [ I have 3 ] none worked [activated and deactivated on my Disney experience ] changed back to original color and the 1 worked again.

It's one thing if none of them work, period, but I'm seeing lots of reports (here and elsewhere) of people saying sometimes they do, and sometimes they don't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For the first time ever, my MB opened the Comfort Station door in the 100 loop late in the first night of our most recent trip (November 5, 2014). It also worked on the laundry room door. After that, it didn't work again. The CM who checked me in specifically told me that the MB would not work on the Comfort Stations, and handed over blank KTTW cards.

Jbolen2 3 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 We were there nov 17-24 and only one of us out of our 6 person group got it to work and he just it work once. I Sure hope they fix it before our annual trip next fall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PrincessNana 15 Posted December 14, 2014 Report Share Posted December 14, 2014 We just left today, December 14, and ours did not work at the 900 loop comfort station. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 This is pathetic. I'd rather they be unlocked. We don't send our kids alone anyways. Having to remember a card is a pain. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 The bathrooms/showers are generally unlocked during the day until about 11-12 at night. The laundry rooms are locked all the time - or at least the one on 300 was. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Retired and Happy (Ken) 101 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 We received two KTTW cards when we checked in Thursday. I haven't tried the MB's at the CS, but my MB (orange) would not work on the front gate. Somehow I got the gate open by waving the KTTW around the pad like a mad man...which I was becoming. Kinda glad we brought our own bathroom. We brought our own washer/dryer, but Judy doesn't like to use it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted December 21, 2014 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 I can attest to the fact that the only thing that works on the CS in the 900 loop is the Magic Band. I went over there with my KTTW card and it would not work so I went back to get my band. So far we have had no problem with the MB except Ken's trouble at the gate. He will try again tomorrow when he and Shawnee make another Wal Mart tun. :banana: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
