New Verizon WDW App

[chirurgeon]

I was able to load the new app from Verizon on my phone. I just gave it a quick look. I will need to check it out some more when I am truly awake. And of course when I on my April trip. Maybe ETicket will be available for my phone by then and I can compare them.

Well, I have played with the app a little today. It is giving ride times as go now, moderate demand, high demand (TSM) and showing Fast pass as available or limited. The last time I looked was around 11am, now at 11:50, it is showing fast pass as unavailable for TSM. RnRC is showing high demand and Fast pass available. I am really looking forward to playing with this in the parks since I don't have an iPhone and my Eticket only works with Wifi, so that won't work in the parks.

There is a lot more to the app, but I really can't sit at work and play with it all day. My boss would NOT be happy with me.

Go to Verizon Wireless.com and click on the apps. The last time I went, the app was right there on the first page. If you can't find it, search for Disney World. Try to download it to your phone. It will tell you if it works on your phone. Good luck.

As I understand it, the app will only give definitive times for a park if you are accessing from within the park itself.

They just recently updated the app to support a larger number of phones, including the "horizontal" phones like the enV series.

I believe Blackberry is on the radar, but it is a different programming platform. It is the next logical choice though after the bulk of the "BREW" platform (Verizon's standard) phones.
