Best DL Android App?

[rhettreaux]

Hi Everyone,

Last winter at WDW, my brother-in-law was making me jealous with the "Lines" app on his Droid. He could pull up wait times in line and FastPass return times on his phone so we could plan where we were going next while waiting in line.

I got a Droid 2 myself two months ago, and I am taking my kids to DL for the first time this January. I would love to hear from some people who have actually used a Disneyland Android App in the park. I want to set up ONE app ahead of time so that I'm not wasting my family time in the park fiddling with multiple apps on my phone.

I saw some posts on here about DL apps, but most of them were from 6 months ago. 6 months is a half-life when it comes to phone apps, so I'm hoping for some more recent experiences.

Here is the info I'm looking for:

Which apps did you use?
What did they cost?
Which was your favorite?
What was your least favorite?
How is the app's info updated (by user posts or by Disney)?
What info did the app provide?
Was the info useful?
Was the info accurate?
Did the app give you info for both DL and DCA?

I know there are a lot of questions here, but I'm sure that your experiences will be helpful to the rest of us down the road.

Thank you!

MouseWait----free!
wait times are updated by users
Most folks like it, seems to be pretty accurate. Has other information such as park hours, show times etc...
also works for both parks

Walkee is also pretty good

only Android app that is updated by Disney is the one offered by Verizon that is $ per month I believe, I dont have Verizon so it is not an option for me.

Thanks for this info we are going on a spur of the moment trip and I am frantically trying to plan. This helps

I used Mousewait in the park and the times were pretty accurate. I like that you can see the time that the last user updated it, so you can gauge how accurace it might be.

I downloaded MouseWait and another one called Disneyland Inside Out. Sometimes when I check them both, they have drastically different wait times listed, so I will be curious to see which one is better when I go down in a couple weeks. When I come back, I'll let you know.

We were there last week and I had several downloaded onto my Android. I share others opinions that MouseWait is a very nice offering and is used by many people so the updated times are pretty reliable.

Do you go through Verizon? If so you can get Disney's official app "mobile magic"

It isn't free ($1.99) but it includes everything, including where the characters are.

MouseWait is very cool, very accurate, we found, and, you can also contribute your own actual wait times for rides - I really liked doing that, and feeling like we were helping others.

Disney Parks Mobile Magic is now a free download. I just downloaded it for my ucoming trip to DL so I don't have any feedback of in the park use yet but it looks great!

I used the Lines app in WDW and I felt that it was very accurate and easy to use.

Well that was quick...it still said $1.99 yesterday. I really wish they would make it available on the iPhone.

Another vote for MouseWait. I love this app. I often bring it up on my phone when I'm missing being at DL. I did so yesterday, in fact.

My daughters and I all downloaded it straight from the Verizon Market on our droids this past weekend. I was surprised when my daughter told me it was free. Not sure when they changed it.
