Disney to reinvent the theme park shopping experience with new mobile app 1 hour ago in "MyMagic+"

Disney is planning to introduce a new mobile app that will make finding, buying and shipping merchandise from the Walt Disney World theme parks easier and faster than ever.

 

Tower Gifts

Unlike the existing offerings at the DisneyStore.com site, the new app will offer nearly the full range of merchandise available in the parks, and should once-and-for-all resolve that problem of - “I wish I had bought it when I was there..”

Called ‘Shop Disney Parks,’ the app will allow guests to locate, order, and ship merchandise from any Disney operated retail store at Walt Disney World.

 

If you are shopping at home within the US, the app will let you browse, buy and then ship the items directly. If you are already in the parks, the app will have the capability to browse, buy and then ship to the front of park, or for resort guests, directly to the hotel.

 

Inside the stores, guests will be able to scan the merchandise for more information about the product.

By linking in with My Disney Experience, the app will also honor discounts, such as Annual Pass and Disney Vacation Club discounts.

 

The app will be launching soon, and will be available for iOS devices, such as iPhone and iPad, and Android.

Disney has recently introduced new ranges of attraction merchandise that appeal to the more dedicated fans and expected users of the new shopping app. Memento Mori at the Magic Kingdom, Tower Gifts at Disney's Hollywood Studios and The Sign Shop at Marketplace Co-Op have all recently been updated with new ranges of merchandise.

I guess instead of fixing the reservation system, they decided to spend the $$ on developing this app.

 

Another way of fleecing  making your Disney Experience more Magical.

So I downloaded this and ws playing with it. For research of course. Under the home and decor category all of the camping supplies they sell at the Meadows is listed. I am laughing every time I see some thing for a sewer hookup next to an ornament since it is in alphabetical order.
