What app seems to have the most accurate wait times. Is MDE the most accurate? I'm not a fan of how the wait times show up on the app. Was not sure if there is a different app that is better and just as accurate.
 
We always use MDE and our personal experiences are that we have found it very accurate.
 
MDE wait times come direct from Disney. All 3rd party wait time apps rely on user entered data.
 
Anyone else find that the Wait Times tab is not gone from MDE (iPhone.) I even deleted my app and re-downloaded it to see if the tab would come back up…not liking the loss of it!

It's there but you have to go through more steps to get the wait-times. The system was better [and quicker] before. I'm not liking this either!
 
I have been using it this week. Like the previous poster said you just have to hit those little lines in the bottom right of your screen and the times are posted how you are used to them. The only issue I have had is with making additional FP. I had to delete and download the app again to have access to it.

Thank you!! I see how you use it now..what a pain! I liked how it had a direct link to the wait times!
 
I don't use any apps, I just watch the line for about a minute, I can pretty much tell if I want to get in it that way.
 
Thanks for your help! Figured the app out. I prefer the way it was before they upgraded it.
 
We just got the Touring Plans app; DH likes it better than MDE so far (says it's easier to see character meet times and other show times), but won't be testing it out in the parks until December. Wait times on both are very similar from what we've seen.
 
We're here now and are using both MDE and Touring Lines app. MDE always seems to be fairly conservative...if it says 30 minutes, reality is it's more like 22 minutes. Lines is pretty accurate too, and I like that it helps show FP+ availability. So frankly, I use them both. If you're only going to use MDE, which is what I always used to do, you'll be fine.

Right now I just checked MDE and Touring Plans wait times and MDE is about 10 or 20 minutes more on the waits. Which do you think is right since you have experience with both?
