Once they got you in to the park they don't care if you stare at the water fountains. They know you are going to eat and you might buy a t-shirt.
But who is going to bring a laptop into a theme park? I am sure the park wouldn't care if you did bring one in and paid admission and such, but realistically I doubt anyone would do that.

I can't believe that the city of Orlando can't work with Disney and other local businesses to establish wi-fi access in places where there is a need. They might want to actually find out if there is a need first.
No theme park in their right mind would back this. The theme parks want people in their parks spending money, not wasting time outside of the theme park on the Internet and not spending money in their parks.
Not really. Theme parks make their money on Food, Admission and merchandise.

Believe it or not, Disney has their own wi-fi, and it's $9.95/day for a measly 128k connection. I would gladly have driven downtown to work for a couple of hours during my last trip had I know about their free access.
