Momof6....aka Marty 769 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 In spite of my extremely detailed touring plans, I realize some times I will need to adjust things on the fly and go with the flow. My dd has a smartphone and I am wondering what app I should ask her to download so we can check wait times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I use touringplans.com, but it costs $12.95 per year. Has lots of great info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I use under cover tourists app. It's free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I have the My Disney Experience app on my phone, it is the official Disney app. I have never checked the accuracy of the wait times, but it will allow you ti adjust FPs make ADRs and the such. It does seem to run slow sometimes though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 The problem with the Disney app is that it's a battery hog. The touring plans app is all text and no pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beckers 1,136 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 What if you turn off the location finder on the Disney app? That should help a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katman1356...Jason 1,140 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 How do you do that? Through the phone settings. You can turn on and off which apps are allowed to use Location settings. Just turn off for the MDE. This is on an iPhone anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 I think it's the graphics though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

On my Android I have to turn off my GPS. But the app still is very draining on the battery. I agree with Kelly. I think it's the graphics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
