Anyone use an Disneyland smartphone app?

[MenchieMan87]

I haven't been to Disneyland since I got my iPhone (too long!) so I haven't tried it yet, but I downloaded the "Mousewait" app. I also noticed http://touringplans.com has an app, but it requires a subscription which costs money. Anyone used either of those? Or any others? I guess I'd pay for the touringplans subscription if it was that much more accurate than the mousewait app...

I have an Android phone and use two, the one which I like better is called Ride Hoppers, and there is a free and paid version. The other is called "disneyland wait time" and does not seem to get as many user updates as the first one. Of course, I'm not sure either are on the apple platform...

We used RideHoppers last time but switched to MW for this time. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I check it a couple times a day. Wait times get posted there often. Love the lounge too.

I have an android app. called Disneyland inside out. It has tons of park info, maps and wait times. Also, I can make an itinerary. I can't wait to use it at the park.

I am using Mouseewaits and so far, it is accurate. When we got in line yesterday for TSMM, it stated the same 50 mins as the posted wait time.

I used the MouseWaits app on my iPhone earlier this month and really enjoyed it. The lounge is a fun thing to look in on when in line, although using your phone too much in lines will quickly drain the battery (the app actually has a list of hidden outlets around the park to charge up!!!). It was my first trip with an Annual Pass and I found it helpful that it also has a Passholder section that details most of the places you get discounts and such.

I have the Mousewait app as well and so far I really like it. Besides the wait times they offer a lot of other useful info like restaurant menus, etc.

I used the Touring Plans app the first week of May and it was pretty accurate. The only discrepancy was they showed fastpass times for attractions that were not offering fastpass that day (Big Thunder, Haunted Mansion). If they don't get a report, they estimate the times so I guess that is how it happened.

Ooh this sounds cool. I just got an iphone and found a decent Disneyland Dining app. Is the Mousewait you're talking about free or paid? I don't mind paying for it if it's worth while.

I used the free "wait times" app when we were there 2 weeks ago. I was surprised that it was exactly right on wait times every time we checked it (which was a lot). I have mousewait too. We used it last year and I really liked it, but this year although it was working fine before we left home, it crashed every time I tried to open it in the parks. I don't know what issue they were having. It works again now that I am home, so I don't know if it was just bad timing that they happened to have problems the few days I was there, or if something else was going on.

It is a free app.

Just used Mousewait for my Android and it was very accurate and helpful. The only problem I had was that sometimes I was unable to access it...maybe there were a lot of people using it. Still, it was free so I can't complain!

I will check the Mouse Waite but just in case WHERE are SOME outlets cuz when you ask a CM they said (a bit rude might I add) there is NOWHERE in the park where this CAN be done.

It is a free app.

Great! Thank you

On Android, I have Ride Hopper (Full) and Verizon's Official Disney Parks app (I have tried others but these are the "best" in my opinion). I have only been to WDW and both of these apps (especially the Verizon one) are amazing. I'm going to DLR (FINALLY!!!) in 4 days and downloaded Disneyland Inside Out. It is by far the most comprehensive Disney app I have ever seen...so much so that I hope they make a WDW version (even though I don't "need" it). It reminds me of the Birnbaum Disney books (as far as information on rides, history, etc.) but has menus and wait times as well. You may want to see if there is an Apple version.

I have a Droid X, I have and use MouseWait regularly at the parks, it works great!!

 

[Diznut84]

I use MouseWait every week on my iphone and regularly post wait times!

We tried to use Mousewait on our trip last weekend. Lots of times their servers were overwhelmed and it quit working saying there was too much activity and to try again later.

I've got a subscription to touring plans DLR and used their line app which worked in the park all the time and it was accurate within 5 minutes.
