What apps do you use in the parks?

[richmo]

MDE, an app called 'Disney World Wait Times' (unofficial, but loads much quicker than MDE), a weather app (I'm using wunderground at the moment) -- just make sure it has radar that you can animate -- that's often better than a forecast, an app for the airline you are flying home with (in case you need to check in (Southwest), or deal with delays)

Does anybody know if Kenny the Pirate has an actual APP now? When I subscribed the first time, it was just a web site that I logged in to...Unlike many people, I did not find it especially user friendly - nor did it have information I couldn't find on MDE. Maybe it's an actual app - and it's improved?

I put the phone in my pocket and enjoy disney. MDE maybe to change/add a food reservation or fastpass time but otherwise i'm busy on vacation.

It's actually called 'Snacker Tracker' apparently!

Apple App Store https://appsto.re/gb/XCapP.i

It's really simple, but effective.

Okay thanks! I appreciate that!

I have MDE, Disney Memories HD, The Undercover Tourist wait times APP as it includes times for Universal.

I've had it a couple years, but from what I recall, the Lines app is free to download and includes a little bit of information (enough to intrigue you enough to get a subscription.) You go to touringplans.com and subscribe THEN log in via the app and see everything. It's most useful for the actual wait times (vs. just what they have posted - they're often highly inflated, especially at night.) It also tells you if a ride's line is as short as it's going to get - or if you should wait till later to ride. It's really useful.

Yep....that's it!

No apps, my phone doesn't do them I don't think (still a good cell phone but not a smartphone)

The Myradar app

No, it doesn't sound like it has changed. I just downloaded it. I haven't used in in apark yet. I do like the character schedules.

KENNY THE PIRATE!!!

Kenny is a little costly (I think $9 for a year subscription?) but he was a LIFE SAVER during my last trip! I can't tell you how many times I checked his app exclusively during the day when I needed some time to fill and wanted to know what characters would be coming out to play soon. He's got a full times guide for every character who meets in the parks, restaurant menus, and more. His app is AWESOME and can save you a ton of time if you love Character hunting!

Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad that Character Locator was helpful! BTW it's only $6.99 and we're adding new stuff all the time

Amtrak as I take the train to and from Orlando.
MDE in the parks.
The Weather Channel for weather.
Munzee (scavenger hunt game) for capturing the tons of virtual Munzees all around the World.

While it's not an app, I also bring my New 3DS XL with me to pick up lots of StreetPass tags as well.
