doodlebug....Cherie 461 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.No app for me, I would waste more time trying to figure it out, than I would with a good old paper map! I happen to be great with a map!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Small purse that fits - KTTW, DL, Medical Card, Phone, and any necessary meds.....You have no idea the time I have spent in search of the perfect purse. Only to change phones and have to start the search over.... Just replace your fat finger typing and in purse searching, for the quest of the perfect Disney Purse. :rofl3: :rofl3: :rofl3: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted August 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 More details on the app...It includes a state-of-the-art map with GPS that include 3-D models for a vivid, accurate representation of Walt Disney World, including all theme parks, water parks, WDW hotels, Downtown Disney and the ESPN WWoS Complex. This is the first interactive map of WDW produced by Disney.Because of the GPS functionality, you will be able to easily see what's near you at any moment.The app is currently available for iPhone and iPad, with the Android phone version scheduled to be released in September. Android tablet, Windows and Blackberry versions are scheduled for release later this fall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted August 25, 2012 Report Share Posted August 25, 2012 Would be nice if you could check in for your ADR from your smartphone. As long as the GPS on your phone was within a certain proximity of the restaurant, it could allow you to check in remotely, and would text you when your table was ready (or close to being ready).

Judy in Texas 150 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 A friend is asking about a Hidden Mickey app. There are a few out there and some are expensive (keeping tracking of who finds each Hidden Mickey.) I don't go looking for them... if i see one it's fun but that's it. Anyone purchased one of the apps? If so, which one and do you like it?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 As a highly paid, self proclaimed, professional Hidden Mickey, Deliberate Mickey, Accidental Mickey, and Natural Mickey, expert, a lot of the Hidden Mickeys found by rank amateurs, like you, and posted on those apps are incorrectly diagnosed.Send me the money, tips gladly accepted, that you would pay for the app along with photos of the so called Hidden Mickeys, but probably are not, and I will correctly classify them.
