Looks like a cool App for all you I Phone users as long as people enter the info

The app seems cool but I think Disney should be doing something like this. First, it should not be an iPhone app but a web front end so it is phone agnostic.

What I think would be cool is an interactive app that you can open with any web browser (including mobile browsers) which has live ride and restaurant wait time. It would not be all that difficult to do. Not only would it be convenient but people would have the choice to have the map on their mobile device which would mean less paper maps to print and put into landfills.

Well put FireDancer, but it's all about "baby steps"

Heck for 99 cents, I say it's money WELL spent and another great reason to always have my iPhone out

Wish I had the time to think of this first!

Believe me, I'm not sitting here holding my breath for it. It is just one of the things Disney could do to use technology to make things not only more convenient for guest but more efficient. Walt was all about using the new technology and sometimes Disney doesn't do the obvious thing.

Of course this goes along with being able to book your own ADRs and activities online which I am also not holding my breath for.

The only thing that is a disadvantage to the app is that it requires crowd sourcing which is iffy, sometimes it works great sometimes you get bad info (like fast pass people entering their times to bring down the wait).

We should add this to our list of things we would love from Disney... How about a web page that works too

Now you're talking like a crazy person.

I've been wondering if this has a connection with Project X.
