Disney is teaming up with Verizon Wireless next year and launching an application Verizon customers can download on their cell phone that will enable them to find their way around the parks with the help of their cell phone, according to an Associated Press story.
The application will also allow them to find wait times for rides, located shows and characters, receive messages from characters and play mobile Disney games!
For those who don't have Verizon Wireless, there will be limited services to all cell phone carriers. It would be my hope that just like every new cell phone launched initially belonging to one of the major carriers, that the others follow suit and offer something similar.
It would be nice if everyone-regardless of cell phone service-could use this service because it's a time-saving value. For first-time visitors visiting Disney, the parks can be overwhelming. For ride times and to locate shows and show times it's a value to everyone!
