Mobile Magic: Disney Park's new app for wait times

by Alison Brick (RSS feed) on Nov 22nd 2009 at 4:00PM

Disneyland all to yourself -- a kid's dream. (A parent's dream, too, I think.)

Disney is making the inevitable crowds a bit more manageable. They've just announced Mobile Magic, the mobile app that announces wait times for rides and the nearest location for a character hug. It can be used at Disneyland and Walt Disney World theme parks.

No, it's not the first app for wait times at Disneyland, but it's the first official one from Disney Parks.

And likewise, it's not exactly flawless -- it only works on Verizon Wireless phones. It's not available on BlackBerrys or the new Motorola Droid.

You can give it a spin for $9.99 for a 180-day subscription.

I had used the app in Disney World. It was great. Had to get used to the concept but did great for crowd management. First heard about it with from my event planner as it was a work-related meeting and follow-up activity. They were very helpful - http://www.a2zmeetingsandevents.com
