Worth Reading?

NoYes


For the Android user who wants to go to Walt Disney World and needs to know the wait time for certain attractions in the famous park, TouringPlans.com has a solution. Lines, a mobile website that displays estimates of wait times for every attraction at Walt Disney World.

The folks at TouringPlans have launched in the past products such as Touring Plans and the Crowd Calendar to help the visitors at Walt Disney World to efficiently tour the parks and avoid the crowds. And now, Lines is available for Android as well as for the first and second webOS phones; Palm Pre and Pixi, oh, and the fruit phone too. With this service, they will help you to “Find out how long you’ll actually wait in line for every attraction.” And not only that but you can also “Get crowd estimates, refurb data, single rider lines, & more.”

Now, when you think you are stuck and don’t know how long the line is at Space Mountain, or Frontierland, just get your Android phone out and hit http://m.touringplans.com (Lines) in your browser, to unleash the power of this mobile web app. Lines is free to use for a limited time, and you’ll need to subscribe to use Lines during this preview. Is anyone here planning a trip to Florida and especially to WDW, let us know in the comments if this web app worked out for you.

  1. Disney actually has an official mobile website that includes wait times. Their site is tad cumbersome, and requires a few clicks to get into various parts of the site, but it's very full-featured. It even includes things like show schedules, park hours for the current day, shopping and transportation info...lots and lots of stuff for every Disney park. Get to their site at http://m.disneyworld.com or http://m.disneyland.com

    Universal Orlando also has a mobile site, though theirs isn't as pretty as Disney's. It's pretty much text only, no pictures, but includes wait times, schedules, hours, the works. Their site is particularly nice, because there's a single page where you can view ALL current wait times, across the park, as opposed to Disney's page where you have to drill into each ride to view individual times. Universal's site is at http://66.77.171.132/mobileweb
