Well we're hear at WDW right now and we have our iTouch with us. We'll download it this PM and play with it and report back.

I DLed it to my iPhone 4s and so far it seems like a nice update of the Mobile Magic but I'll truly find out when I get to the world.

I used undercover tourist app. It works very well, wait times are pretty accurate. But here's the deal.. I don't need a map.. I know where everything is... wait times.. I rarely ride anything without a fast pass. I would prefer to know what is the next FP time available!

Keeping dining reservation would be great... making reservations would be better...

Nothing great, but you can see the app's potential. They will be able to tie anything into it...fastpass, room key, charging, etc.

Downloaded it but haven't played with the features yet. I had already DLed the Verizon one even though we're on Sprint since it became an open carrier app. Not sure how they compare to each other though. But if Disney makes it half as functional as wlfanatic03 speculates it should be amazing!

The My Disney Experience app is replacing the Mobile Magic app from Disney Parks/Verizon. The My Disney Experience app has Disney provided wait times, fast pass information, show times, parade times, etc. Disney is rolling out free WiFi (Magic Kingdom & Epcot are already live) to the theme parks which will make this app more useful.

I tried using the app in June during Star Wars weekends and just found it quicker to look at a paper map or schedule. My signal was very weak in the park making the data transfers pain full. Once there is wifi in the parks I could see it being more productive. I will try it again this fall and see how I fair. I also suffered from the issues of trying to view the screen in daylight. I like the idea of not having to burn through a lot of paper and getting current, applicable information, like the aforementioned example with Pocohontos.

Free WiFi is live at MK, Epcot & DHS. WiFi just went live at DHS the beginning of Oct. Disney's Animal Kingdom is the only theme park currently without WiFi yet.

That is great news. Have you tried the WiFi in any of the parks yet? Any good? I was staying at Jambo House in June and the wifi in the room was much better than when I was in SSR last Fall. I brought my own wifi router just in case, but I couldn't use it as the ports in the room weren't active. I guess since WiFi has become ubiquitous that will become the new norm.

I've used it at Epcot and DHS. Using the speedtest app on my iPhone, I've gotten results of up to 3Mbps. Obviously, results will vary depending on distance from access point and number of users.
