Disney Mobile Magic App Available in the UK

After our little moan a few months back, it seems Disney may have taken pity on us Brits and you can now get hold of the Mobile Magic app for the iPhone in good old Blighty! For those of you heading out to Walt Disney World sometime soon, the free app can be found on iTunes here.

For those of you that have never heard of the app, take a look at the official description below:

Disney Mobile Magic – a fun and simple way to get the most out of your Disney Vacation. Use GPS-enabled maps to get around the Parks, locate some of your favorite characters for a special greeting and even make dining reservations.

When you are in the Parks you can check official attraction wait times and Disney’s FASTPASS® return times for the Park you’re in. You can also play trivia and plan your upcoming visit with the Favorites feature.

The app can still be used in the UK, as it gives daily schedules, character meet and greets times, wait times categories by ride now, moderate etc. You can also look at images and videos of rides in each park, giving you another tool to plan and help you get excited about.

Unless you have international roaming data or access to wifi while in the US, it still has a limited use. It is unclear if it will give you more specific information from Disney resort rooms using the resort wide wifi or if it is park location specific but it is great that Disney have given us Brits something to enjoy playing with.
