The Best Disney Apps?

[earljam]

We are going to Disney Sept 4th and I was wondering what the best Disney apps are for the Park. It's DW, DD(6 mos.), and me, we want to make the most of our time there.

Disney has a free Mobile Magic app for Verizon phones. I have Sprint so I use a free app by Undercover Tourist. It shows the wait times, park hours, maps, and the distance to the attraction (in yards). I haven't used it in the parks yet but I love checking the wait times randomly. Right now I'm 1,970,490 yards from Space Mountain...

I am also a Verizon user.
I paid for the Mobile Magic app on our last trip (it is free now), but I was disappointed that I could only use while I was in THAT park. I like the Undercover Tourist app because you can look at wait times from anywhere!

I agree with only being able to see Disney Parks one for the park you are in at the time. Touring plans worked pretty good for the most part. Let you know what park was green/yellow/red for the day too. That worked good except MK was a green day and apparently lots of groups saw that and stormed the park after noon that day. Mousetimes SUCKS!! It is supp. to give an accurate wait time and fastpass schedule. Everyday we were there at every park it showed Fastpasses were gone. So I deleted that one as soon as I got home. Used touring plans the most.

We like the Verizon app for what it is. As others stated I wish you could see more details on the other parks while you are at WDW.

I adore my undercovertourist app. They really do a great job with it and its free too!

i work at Disney and love my IPHONE and powerbook. I have spent a good amount of time checking out different Disney apps. I was fan of undercover tourist until i discover apptasmic. they are similar but apptasmic includes all the Disney dining and wait time for resturants also. There wait time are bot accurate but apptasmic has more features and easier to navigate. Also recently in Orlando Sentinel.

another magical day in Florida

Anyone know if this is available in the Android market? I did a quick search but didn't come up with anything.

I wanted Mobile Magic but it's not available for iPhone yet. I purchased the Disney Magic Guide (wait times, GPS coordinates, a "Favorites" option to save all your favorite rides and go to that one link to see wait times for all, Park Hours, Maps, a Dining Option that includes a schedule - if you have one - favorites, "Near Me" (aka GPS to find the spots close to you), and a Food Finder which I think is awesome - if you want a hot dog, it will tell you the closest area, if you want a funnel cake or ice cream or a churro, etc.). I also go Apptastic since we're going to Universal too - I haven't been able to look at it a lot yet, but I think both will be money well spent!

Looks like its only iPhone. Though looking at the YouTube demo. It looks like its wait time system is purely based on user submitted data. So like all of those apps that pretty much came and went a year or so back, without a lot of users submitting times the data gets stale real quick.
