I've spent a lot of time figuring out how to maximize my 迪士尼 vacations. One great way to do this is 由 using the great apps for the parks. I've compiled a 列表 of some of the best apps for your 迪士尼 vacation. Unless otherwise noted, these apps are available for iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, and Android. Remember that Magic Kingdom and Epcot offer free in-park Wi-Fi, with Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom coming soon, so 你 can use the apps even if your device needs Wi-Fi. Plus, if you're running low on data, connect to the Wi-Fi and save your gigabytes.
My 迪士尼 Experience 由 Disney
The best app since sliced apps (okay, sliced apps never really existed, but who cares). This app has everything, from character greeting times, to ride wait times, to Fastpass times. 你 can even view restaurants and make dining reservations right from your device. Park hours also included. If 你 need to call Disney, 你 can look up their numbers and call directly. Also includes a wish 列表 and attraction information so that 你 can mark the rides 你 definitely want to hit. There are even park maps. Verizon customers also get games and bonus material.
I would recommend this app for...anyone. It's especially good for less experienced groups as it lets 你 plan your trip and gives 你 plenty of information. But if you're like me and have been there a gaggillion times, this app is still useful. Would not travel through Magic Kingdom without it anymore!
Disney Mobile Magic 由 迪士尼 and Verizon
A step down from the newer and 更多 efficient My 迪士尼 Experience. This app is available only on an actual phone, not on iPod Touch 或者 iPad. This app will give 你 wait times and Fastpass times, but it has a tendency to freeze and the wait times are not updated as frequently as on My 迪士尼 Experience. A lot of the same features are included on this app as on My 迪士尼 Experience, but there is a lot that needed fixing with this app. The GPS has a tendency not to work, and on some newer phones, it is not supported at all. The other downer is that unlike on My 迪士尼 Experience, 你 can't see wait times for a park unless 你 are in the park. Maps are also not as good. However, if My 迪士尼 Experience is not an option for whatever reason, this app will do in a pinch.
Some who complain that they don't like the organization of My 迪士尼 Experience prefer this app. Honestly, I consider those people (coughMOTHERcough) to be crazy, but I'll put that out there for ya.
I recommend this app for anyone who can't get their hands on My 迪士尼 Experience.
Disney World Park Hours Free 由 Versa Edge Software
If 你 don't have room for My 迪士尼 Experience 或者 Mobile Magic 或者 if for some reason your device doesn't support them, this app is the 下一个 best thing. This app takes up very little memory 太空 and does a whole lot. It gives 你 hours months in advance for all four theme parks and the water parks. Plus it gives 你 the time for Extra Magic Hours. For 99 cents, 你 can upgrade to get rid of the ads
I generally would recommend this app 更多 for Globe Trotters 或者 Pilots. (See scale at the bottom for experience level
Disney World Wait Times Free 由 Versa Edge Software
Again, if 你 can't have My 迪士尼 Experience, this is another great alternative. This app is another app that takes up little 太空 but does a whole lot. It gives 你 the wait times for all four theme parks and is pretty accurate. If the wait time that 你 find is different than what is listed, then 你 can change it but submitting a new wait time. It also has GPS so 你 can see what rides are near you. My only complaint is that 你 can't see Fastpass times. 你 can upgrade for 99 cents to get rid of ads.
This app is great for anyone, but I recommend it 更多 for Jetsetters, Global Tr 或者 Pilots.
WDWMagic-WDW News 由 Lantek Solutions
This app is great. It gives 你 news items about what's happening in Disney, from the minor refurbishments to the big stuff. Not only that, but it has information on rides, resorts, dining and more. Plus refurbishment 更新 so there won't be any surprises. Also has maps and park hours (though park hours aren't as easy to check as on the other one). Get this one before 你 go to help 你 plan 你 trip.
Unfortunately, this app is only available for iOS users, but Android users can go to m.wdwmagic.com to view the same information, as can those running low on memory.
I recommend this one for anyone, but Tourists may find the 下一个 one that I'm about to name 更多 helpful.
Disney World Wait Times, Dining, and Maps free 由 Undercovertourist.com 由 Phunware, Inc
This one is great for those Tourists, Sightseers, 或者 Jetsetters All the wait times are included, as well as parade times and other 显示 times. It also includes information about the restaurants. However, please do not listen to its crowd meter. It doesn't work. Look to my crowd meter instead (in the 文章 section). I also found it to be very slow. It's less useful for someone who's been 更多 times, which is why Travelers, Globetrotters and Pilots may not find it as useful. I would only get this app if 你 are new to the parks and My 迪士尼 Experience doesn't work. When in doubt, go with the official apps.
MouseWait 由 ALLAuthentic Corporation
This is a good supplemental app. I find the wait times not to be as acurate, but there are great maps, info for passholders, and (gasp) a RESTROOMS NEAR 你 feature.
Though this app is best for 更多 experienced goers, anyone can use it. The restroom feature, missing on My 迪士尼 Experience, is a good feature.
