Disneyland Wait Times Free iPhone app Review

Description:

There is a free and a paid version of the Disneyland Wait Times Free iPhone app.  Both of them display the times but the paid app is a little bit quicker to reload and give you wait times.  Either way this is a great companion for Disneyland while on vacation.

Features:

• This is a fun little reference app that lets you know all of the different wait times at all of the rides at Disneyland and California Adventure.  This is a great reference to have when you are trying to decide which ride to go to next so that you do not have to wait in line for forever
• You will have a display of all of the different times of the rides at each of the different parks.  Find out exactly how long you would have to wait at all of the rides
• You will be able to look through the recent times section to see which rides have had recent times submitted.  This allows you to get the most up to date information on rides
• If you are already in the park then you can actually submit a wait time for the rides right onto the app for other users to see
• Using the built in GPS you can also see which rides are closest to you.  That way you can plan out your routes a little bit better and make sure you hit all of the rides that you want to before the day is over
• If the ride is closed then you will see a little CL next to the ride, or you will see dashes on the line if the ride’s wait time is unavailable.  Other than that you will see all of the wait times for the rides displayed in minutes form so that you can judge accordingly
• Never wait in long lines again while you are at Disneyland!  Definitely helps you to get your full money’s worth while you are there on vacation with your friends or family

Conclusion:

Disneyland has always been a fun place to go, whether you are a kid or an adult.  The only bummer with the park was how long you had to wait in rides.  Didn’t you always hate it when you would wait two hours in line for a ride, go on it, then go over somewhere else to a different ride and come back past the first ride only to find that no one was in line?  If only you had known and hit up a different ride in the meantime you wouldn’t have wasted so much of your precious time and money.  Bring this app and you will never have those regrets again.
