Judy in Texas 150 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I wonder if this is replacing their Disney Parks app. It has most of the stuff listed above; but, wait times are listed as See Now, Moderate, High Demand. Wait time in minutes like on the Undercover Tourist app would be better. The current Disney app has a Make a (dining) Reservation option. Has anyone ever tried it?

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I am downloading it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Playing with the app, as much as I can while not at WDW.1. Signed in using my disney.com account - no problem.2. Set up the security questions -easy peasy.3. Here and now doesn't work unless you are at WDW but they will give you a guide to look over instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 4. Map seems to be really good.5. Wish it retrieved your ADR's (maybe that is a you have to be at WDW) since it logs into your disney.com account.6. There are several ways to browse dining. You can "Explore Dining" or Click on the Dining Option (this allows you to put in dates and search for dining). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I have it also.There are also character meet n greet times and times for shows/acts such as the Dapper Dans and the Move It, Shake It Street Party.If you scroll down below the meet n greet times and special events/acts times....you can view current attraction wait times listed in number of minutes.You can get to all of that by clicking on "more" at the bottom rt corner , choose park hours on the next page, and then choosing a theme park on the next page.

Nicki aka Rebelstand 272 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 7. It tells you before you click into the restaurant (on the dining option) if there are times available. (which there aren't right now) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AC in A2......Aaron 693 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Also if you click on an individual attraction it will give you the current fastpass return times.You can click on the attraction on the park map and it will give you that info also.

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Breaking news, in the parks now, the latest in park maps and entertainment schedules.Disney is calling it "park maps and entertainment schedules". Their marketing people are amazing to come up with that name.They're available FREE, yup free, to anyone entering the parks that hasn't gone brain dead from using their smart phone. That rules out most of you.This innovation appears on a material called, PAPER, that is only .003 of an inch thick. This paper stuff comes with a feature that allows you to fold it. If you're able accomplish this amazing feat, it will easily fit in your pocket and you hardly know it's there.If you drop it, not to worry, it's shock proof. If you lose it, you can replace it free of charge.CMs are conducting map folding sessions throughout the parks should this be too much of a challenge, which, again, I know it will be for most of you. mouseketab.....Carol, Nicki aka Rebelstand, doodlebug....Cherie and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine that, but neither option is water proof.....and your paper doesn't give me wait time from across the park.CMs are conducting map folding sessions throughout the parks should this be too much of a challenge, which, again, I know it will be for most of youCan they turn it into a decision maker?I will get a park map too. I always do since I don't like standing in the middle of the path trying to figure out on a tiny screen where something is BUT if I want to know what the wait time for BTRR and I'm at the Tea Cups.....

Lou... 3,118 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Does the paper give fast pass return times?See those two things below your waste, no not those, your feet, use them to walk to the nearest attraction info board. Which you're probably standing right next to and don't know it.BUT if I want to know what the wait time for BTRR and I'm at the Tea Cups.....What, you don't have spreadsheets on your tablet that automatically update, I'm shocked.
