New Disney Mobile Applications for iPhone and Verizon
Posted by Ashley McChesney on Thu, Oct 29, 2009 @ 12:52 PM
It is no secret I love mobile applications, to the point I am so dependent on them I probably couldn't function without them. When I found that Disney had TWO new applications coming, well I about died. These truly are a must for anyone who loves Disney or is planning on visiting the parks.
By the way, for my fellow iPhone app fanatics, here is my list of top mobile travel applications.
Disney for iPhone
Name: Disney.com
Price: Free
What it does:
- Watch movie trailers and behind-the-scenes videos
- Get movie showtimes and ticket info
- Find out about Disney on Broadway
- Get music news and watch music videos
- Listen to Radio Disney content live
- "Call" Disney music stars and hear voicemail messages they have left for fans and leave your own message
- Download and manage other free and paid Disney apps
- Tons of Disney themed games and trivia
- Wikipedia of Walt Disney characters
Best features:
An Encyclopedia of more than 100 Disney characters also lets you take a picture and digitally place it in a frame themed to any of those characters.
And
"Click to Life" is a game that asks you to use your iPhone to find objects in the real world. For instance, it will show you a picture of a character from a Disney movie; you then have to find a matching image (movie poster for example.) You get "digital prizes" for all of your matches.
Who will like it most: Teenagers who watch Disney channel, and Disney aficionados of all ages.

Disney for Verizon
Name: Disney Parks
Price: $9.99
Release Date: Currently available for download but will not be completely updated until January of 2010
What it does:
Attraction wait times, FASTPASS return times, extensive information on character locations and more for Walt Disney World and Disneyland theme parks
Also, mobile maps are GPS-enabled. While wandering the parks, your location will be indicated by a white circle. Then it's simple to scroll through content and find it on the map via a "getting there" option. The map zooms out and allows you to see your location and exactly where the character greeting or restaurant can be located.
Who will like it most: This is a MUST for anyone going to the parks, never has it been so easy to figure out where you are going!
