Disney/Verizon deal

[rie'smom]

There will be a new game at Epcot avaiable only to Verizon customers-an interactive Kim Possible game. Way to go Disney very inclusive.
We have ATT/Cingular and if it was only available to us, I'd feel the same way.

You didn't read the whole article, it says that the guests will be armed with a kimpossible communicator. They are using the technology, but they will also be providing it to everyone.

Missed the communicator when I read the article. However, this will not be available to all guests:
Planned services include an exclusive mobile application that will give guests with Verizon Wireless service the ability to easily locate shows, restaurants and the Disney characters anywhere inside the Parks; get real-time attraction availability information; access mobile games; receive messages from characters and more

That's correct, but the information that the pal mickey gives is only available to those that purchase a pal mickey. Those that like pepsi products over coke products can't get a pepsi in the parks. There are lots of things that the sponsors do to promote their products, it's why they provide those services in the first place.

They have special lounges for AAA members, or employees of sponsoring companies. They have a special meet and greet in Epcot just for Disney Visa cardholders. Targeting a certain audience is nothing new.

And on Verizon we can't get an IPhone! (not that it has anything to do with Disney)

Ah but with Verizon we CAN get the LG Dare which is pretty darn close!

Did you read this part?

Disney and Verizon are also working to ensure that some mobile information such as dining locations, show times and locations will be available to all Parks visitors, regardless of their wireless company.
