Aug 26, 2014 Have you checked out the new Disneyland.com on your mobile phone? This all-new mobile experience puts your entire Disneyland Resort visit right in the palm of your hand with features like dining reservations, attraction information and – my favorite new features – the new Disney eTicket and even prepaid parking.This complete planning tool is accessible through your device’s web browser. Disney’s Handheld Device is a palm-sized wireless device that was developed in 2002. The device features several services, including Assistive Listening, which provides amplified audio at 12 attractions, and Handheld Captioning, which displays text for 14 attractions. A new service was just added yesterday.

One thing I know a lot of people would like information on before they cruise are the internet options onboard the ships. Disney Cruise Line’s internet service is called Connect@Sea and I have used it on our last 4 cruises. Here are the printed instructions you receive onboard:
One of the most important things I tell people is to be sure and sign up by midnight on the first day of your cruise (the day you board, not the first full day) in order to get your first 50 MB FREE! Don’t miss out on this – this is enough data for me to check my email several times a day on a 3-4 day cruise as well as send a few emails. This offer will be listed in the daily navigator that you receive at the port when you check in. It is 50 MB per room, but can be shared among several devices.
If you are sailing concierge, the small package (100 MB/$19) is included in your cruise fare and all you need to do is purchase it on your device and within a day or 2, your onboard account will be refunded the $19.
I won’t go into too much detail because all of it is written on the instructions above, but I do want to mention several things:
First, I always put my phone in airplane mode and then just turn on the wifi to use Connect@Sea. Because it is airplane mode, no calls or texts will be allowed through but internet and email will work when you are logged in to the Connect@Sea.
There is a Connect@Sea help desk on every ship. If you need help and there is no one at the help desk, try Guest Services. I did this once and a nice man there was able to answer all of my questions and help me change some settings on my phone that were eating up data.
Pay attention to the 3rd question on page 2 of the instructions above. It includes a list of settings that you need to change on your phone so that you don’t use up all of your data within minutes from things like automatic software and app updates. This happened to me and I used 100 MB within minutes for my phone to update my software. This is how I found out about the help desk.

Be sure and log out when you are done. If not, your device will keep using data even though you aren’t.
You can easily keep track of how much data you have used. It looks like this:
You will also receive an email periodically to update you on how much data you have left, and also once you have used it all.
If you use all of your package, it is easy to buy another one. Since you won’t be refunded for data you don’t use, I suggest buying the smallest package that you think you need because you can always add more later.
If you have any questions that I haven’t answered here, please don’t hesitate to leave a comment or send me an email and I will do my best to help out.
