  • I’m glad Beth loves her iPhone. But do any of those 15 Disney apps she only paid a buck for let her customize her screen background, or choose her own music for a ringtone? Sorry, but not everyone is in love with the iPhone. Those who aren’t, are probably very grateful to get something, anything that we can use to help soothe our Disney itch. We’re also happy to have access to a data network that’s not bogged down on a good day.

  • $9.99 per six months? That is nuts. I have 15 Disney apps on my iphone (wait times – which also lets you submit your own when there, GPS enabled park maps, park hours/shedules, hidden mickeys, park secrets/tips/history, etc.) These were each a one-time fee of .99 cents and I got to choose and pay for only the data I wanted (which is all of it for me). Verizon – what a rip off.

    • Are you kidding me? AT&T + iPhone is the biggest ripoff out there. You paid alot for yoru phone, and are definitely paying alot for your minutes and data plan.

      And you paid $15 for 15 apps. I would hope it would not take 15 different apps to navigate around Disney.

  • $9.99 for six months? No thanks, I’ll just use my mobile browser to access free sites (and TouringPlans.com of course!)

  • WooHOO!! Can’t wait to check out this app. My Verizon Omnia is making it’s first trip to WDW at the end of November. The wait times feature is brilliant, if it really works. I’m pumped!

  • The websites do not appear to be live yet. My browser can’t find the servers. I am not a verizon costomer, but I look forward to trying the mobile websites.
