They do have wifi @ SDC...it just costs you. Last year I remember checking my phone while outside of Thunderation, and I had the Magic Shop wireless. On inquiry, it was a set amount for the day to receive wireless from their router.

I guess with the amount of people at the park at one time maybe it would be to hard to have free wifi

I guess i dont know why you would "need" wifi while at the park?

I know a couple of times i have accessed radar on my phone when there was weather in the area. but other than that??

I have not accessed it other than radar as well. I didn't even bring it in last time! I take movies and photos on the phone, and it would be nice to immediately upload the videos etc in order to save space on the phone, or camera itself.

I also check the radar, and occasionally, college football scores while I'm standing in line.

So, I looked it up, and unfortunately, it's only available for iPhone.

Disappointing

However, I don't think this is an "official" app, as I'm pretty sure SDC would have a link to it on their website. Maybe they could collaborate with the company that made this to get more on it as well as making it for more phone OS's.

That's where I looked at didn't find any reference to it either.  I'm wondering how they know how long the lines are, etc. if they're not getting any input from sdc?

Maybe users can send in the info and then it is relayed back out?

There's an unofficial app for Disney World that I used for our trip, and the wait times come from users inputting the info. (Well, those are also averaged with all the years of statistical data the crew of the Unofficial Guide has collected, but the Unofficial Guide to WDW has been out for a LONG time)

[spgoad]

Yeah I'm not sure how they could do wait times accurately, since it doesn't seem they track that information and it doesn't seem to be user input.

I would say though, I'm fairly certain this is an official app - The way I found it was an advertisement in the paper pathfinder. So unless they are selling an ad to a third party company, it seemed pretty official. Maybe they are just trying out the concept in the park before widespread advertising of it?

[Joy]

Oh, it was advertised in the paper Pathfinder? Okay, then it probably is official. I didn't know that's where it was discovered. Wish they'd make it for Android-run phones...

I think I saw it mentioned on SDC facebook page is how I first saw it.

[rubedugans]

I would not have known if my Dad had not sent it to me...thanks Pops!

I downloaded this app a few weeks ago on my iPod Touch and it is a lot of fun to play around on! I've also had to update it two or three times already, so they keep the content really up to date on the app, another plus.

[rubedugans]

Like many new apps, I am glad that they are working through the kinks, instead of allowing it to cause problems.
