As if you need another reason to go to Disney World or Disneyland, here's one! Disney has released the Play Disney Parks App - available FREE to download and play on both iOS and Android.
I normally wouldn't recommend having your nose in your phone while at Disney. But if you're there with long lines and you've wrapped around the same part of the line a few times, you'll be tempted to distract yourself. This would be especially helpful if you have kids that get restless while waiting.
This app was designed for families and guests to enjoy together. With group play that enables everyone to join in on the fun, guests will turn wait time into play time with all-new interactive experiences and activities created for select attraction queues, including: “Playset Party” at Toy Story Mania! in Disney California Adventure park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, “Off to Neverland” at Peter Pan’s Flight at Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom, “Rocket Race” at Space Mountain at Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom, and “Andy’s Boardgame Blast!” at the new Slinky Dog Dash coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And there’s even more to explore in the app!
Guests signed into their Disney account (available to guests 13 and over) can also earn, collect and share uniquely themed achievements, rewarded for playing games, answering trivia, completing challenges and experiencing select attractions across Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. And with the Disney trivia feature, there’s sure to be something for everyone to enjoy as guests can discover fun facts about their favorite theme parks.
This first-of-its-kind Disney app will also allow guests to celebrate the songs of Disney in a whole new way. Access Apple Music®* from within the app to tap into a curated audio experience featuring official playlists inspired by beloved theme park lands, attractions and characters – and some favorite memories too. Apple Music subscribers will even be able to add favorite Disney tracks direct to their Apple Music library allowing them to live and re-live the magic of Disney parks music at home.
The app is intended to be used while actually at Disney. So sadly, there's not much to do with it if you are stuck elsewhere. But I did discover that the trivia questions work outside the parks, so pull it up and add a little Disney to your day!
Don't forget that if you book your trip with me, I'll plan it at no cost to you!! Same price as you'd get booking yourself!!
