Could Cell Coverage Soon Get Better in EPCOT? Here’s What We Know

By Jordan-Paige Sudduth Leave a Comment

If you’ve ever tried to grab one of those Virtual Queues in Disney World when they were still around, or tried to do anything at a specific time, you’ve likely dealt with toggling between the free Disney World Wi-Fi and your own cell service to see which is faster. On any given day, and depending on your provider, it can change.

American Adventure Pavilion

Since we’re in the parks nearly every day reporting and sending photos and videos back to our writers and editors at home, we know firsthand how tricky it can be to get the best service and/or Wi-Fi. As it turns out, EPCOT soon may have some of the best coverage, especially in one World Showcase country, thanks to this new permit filed.

A new permit has just been filed for the American Adventure pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase, but it’s not for any cosmetic changes or new buildings. Nope, it’s for AT&T to update the existing antenna and radio equipment at the address 1776 Avenue of the Stars, which means that service in this area of the park could get MUCH better very quickly.

New Permit!

This is the first permit we’ve seen of its kind filed at this moment, but does this mean we could see future permits filed for other areas of the park, and potentially other parks, soon? If one set of equipment is out of date, it’s possible that others around the resort are too.

New Permit

The contractor for the update is Goff Communications, so we’ll be sure to keep a close eye on the other permits coming out of Disney World to see if any others like it pop up.
