View Full Version : Disneyland radio frequencies

A bit of Googling found several very out-of-date listings of frequencies used by Disneyland's internal communications systems. http://cascanning.tripod.com/miscfreq/disneyfreq.html
http://www.hiddenmickeys.org/Disneyland/DL_Freqs.html
http://www.totse.com/en/media/radio_scanner_frequency_lists/disneyca.html

http://www.mouseplanet.com/al/docs/scan.htm
Most of these lists are ten or more years out of date. Does anyone here have a current list of frequencies?

There aren't many current lists out there anymore. Here's a few that are semi-recent:

A warning to those wishing to do any scanning in Disneyland. Be aware of who may be watching you, and be discrete. I had set out on July 17th of last year to go to the park and try to get an updated list of frequencies, but was ejected from the park (and nearly fired) for doing so. They accused me of everything from being a terrorist, to trying to covertly record and transmit video signals (through audio receiving equipment...yah, try and figure that one out). Believe me, it's not something that you want to happen when you planned on a nice relaxing day at the park.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Disney uses a truncated system. In order to pick it up, you need a fairly high tech scanner. My $200 Uniden Bearcat that I take to auto races to listen to the drivers talk to the pits doesn't pick anything up.

Not even near Autopia?

How about "WarGuesting"??


I seem to remember hearing that DL (or was it WDW??) had coverd the park with 802.11b to run portable POS equipment and cast member communications.

My rather old unit doesn't feature trunk-tracking, but most if not all newer models do. However, I should still be able to program the various 900 MHz freqs and pick them up, even if I can't follow a whole conversation.

Yes, that's what I meant. I was close, though! Thanks for the correction! :)

If they have infact installed wi-fi as i've heard they have at disney world I would bet that it must have WEP enabled at a minimum 128-bit key level.

Also, they probly don't brodcast the SSID. Perhaps they are even using 802.11a (since it is less common).


I'm not at all familiar with their system but this is just my guess.
