i just saw this post and posted one earlier wondering about at &t coverage in orlando, and also if anyone knows about hilton head???? i am dying to get one, but can't risk not having good coverage for a decent part of the year. the disney apps sound great, and now i am even more hopeful. i almost switched to verizon before our december trip just for the new disney app they have on vcast!

We had iPhones during our Thanksgiving trip. The phone coverage was OK. They have put Verizon towers everywhere. My brother in law was able to get Verizon service inside many attractions but we had no AT&T service in the Expedition Everest line or inside several Epcot attractions.. I have no significant complaint about AT&T service, but there was not much service inside many attractions. 3G service was everywhere, except inside some of the attractions.

I think Disney does everyone a disservice by awarding the best mobile service to Verizon. All things consider, I would take an iPhone on AT&T service over any other phone out there on Verizon. Just my opinion.

When we were there in Dec I was in 3G the whole time! And of course that runs the battery down pretty fast, got to where I carried my charger EVERYWHERE to get a little charge, every now and then. I actually went into network settings and shut down the 3G to save the battery, so I would have to say Coverage was not an issue for us. Shawn

A couple of game apps we like are
Tapword
Cube Runner
Jirbo Match

All three are free and a lot of fun.

WOW, this amazes me. I have an iTouch, the most expensive one and all I have is itunes and a movie on it. I better get with it. I need a young person to do this for me. I am missing out on lots of stuff!

I used DVC Planner to shedule our Dec. 2010 trip. It's nice to save the trip information and it tells you the 11 month and 7 month dates for reservations. It also tells you the 180 and 90 dates for dining reservations.

I just purchased Mouse Memo this weekend. Started putting in tentative dining dates as well as flight and room confirmation number. This app also displays dining menus from Allears.net.

After reading this thread, looks like I'll have quite a bit larger collection of apps before our trip.

Thanks to this thread I downloaded both the E-Ticket and DVC Planner. I love them both!!

I do hope that someday there will be a calender based point planner like Caskbills, but until then these two are great!!

Thanks!

UPinPoint Maps are nice. I also have the Free WDW Wait Times app, but I'm not optimistic about it since nobody seems to be updating.

DVC Planner app looks good, but unless it actually tracks points available/points used, i can look the points up lickety-split in my brochure.

Non-Disney, Mint is great, Dropbox, Weather Channel, ebay/paypal/google, facebook, RedLaser, and of course tons of games (mostly for my preschoolers). My 3-year-old is an iPhone wiz!

We just returned from WDW over the holidays. We used the free Wdw Wait times app. It was 100% accurate while we were there. I also downloaded Toy Story Mania for the iPhone. Beware! It is addicting!

Visit pcworld.com. They have interesting article about how Verizon manipulated statistics to make it appear that their coverage is better than AT&T
