Mobile Magic?

[ColoradoK]

Has anyone used this? Any thoughts? Any other apps like it? Or a website I could simply access from my phone?

The idea is really cool, if you ask me. Not sure if it actually works all that great or is worth the $9.99.

I'd love to hear ANY feedback. Thanks!

I would also love to hear any thoughts on this. Also, is it only for Verizon customers or is there a similar iPhone app?

I think this is what I signed up for the other day. We'll be at DL next week, so will report back after we return

What does it do?

What does it do?

I think it is a wait time indicator.

My DH downloaded the free app on Sunday and used it. We actually loved it and can't wait to use it again. It basically gives you all the wait times on all the rides and I think the FP return times. It saved us time from running to the Times board.

I got an offer from Verizon for 180 day use of the app for 180 days. I did use the free day first so I think they gave me the offer after I tried it. I love it, even though we have not used it in the park yet, we look up wait times just for fun We will be using it in about a month!

Let us know how you like it.

I used it last month and even though I think $9.99 is kind of a lot for something that I only got to use for a few days, it did come in handy. It was nice to look up wait times for rides across the park or even in the other park to decide if it was worth going over.

Does it also let you know where the characters are in the parks and when?

This is a disney link about the service:

It looks like it is only available for Verizon plans -- BUMMER! I guess I will have to use one of the iPhone apps.

That is a bummer. I found an iPhone app that has an interactive map and info on attractions, restaurants, services, etc. It will work okay, but is still not as cool as the other app.

The Inside the Magic podcast (available on iTunes) did a review of it a few weeks ago and said it was great. The only caveat is that it was used on an older flip phone and took some time to load.

Is this the one that does not work on a Blackberry?

I love it....we have used it for 2 trips to DL already. The only downside, it does take a good bit of time to upload, and it sometimes feels like you could walk over to X and look to see the wait time before it comes up on the screen!

some of the features, like the character finder are bit trickier, IMO....good concept, not as user friendly as you'd think...on the whole I won't go down without it!

My DH is doing the same thing tomorrow. We don't go until Sept to WDW but the ap is for 6 months. He thought he'd get the hang of it now so when we are there he knows how to fully work it! Let us know how it works for you once you use it in a park. I'm hoping it's a great tool....anything to save a little time at any Disney park is always wonderful! Enjoy your trip.

We used it in Disneyland last week. It takes a little while to start up. You need to turn your locator on so it finds where you are. It won't give you the attraction wait times and fast pass return times unless you are in the parks. For the most part it worked well. Sometimes some of the attraction info wait times were wrong but overall all it was helpful.

Is it better than MouseWait? That app is free and it gives you ton's of info on wait times, menus, a hidden mickey checklist, and secrets.

All of the same things I was going to say about using it this past week. Most of the time, if the wait times were wrong it was by 5 minutes. Which is probably the result of things changing by the time we arrived! Our favorite though ... it said Monster's Inc was a 10 minute wait time. We arrived from Paradize Pier to find NO ONE in the lines! Rode on it twice in a row! We love that ride.

I just used it on Sat. and thought it was ok . I have an older phone and hoping that getting a new Droid would help .
Is Mousewait a Verizon app.?
