TouringPlans.com Disney World Lines app (Free & Paid)

TouringPlans.com* is a theme park planning website that offers a complimentary mobile app. Both the site and mobile app offer theme park information, customized touring itineraries, and restaurant menus. Some features are available for free, but to get the most out of the site and app, become a subscriber. I have been a subscriber and used this app for over 5 years.

Reasons to get the paid version: I LOVE the accuracy of the “real time” attraction wait times. I find them more accurate that Disney’s official app. The customized park touring plans save time because it maximizes ride order to limit the time you wait in line. Just select what you want to see and the site/app calculates the best order to minimize wait times and crowds. Seriously saves us hours of waiting in line and worth every penny. Each plan and be created for specific age groups, interests, days, parks, etc.

5 Best Apps for Planning Your Next Disney World Trip - Hidden Mickeys

Keep your eye out for “Hidden Mickeys” throughout the Disney property.  Imagineers have hidden the iconic mouse ears in plain site and it’s up to you to spot them. It’s great family fun to go on a scavenger hunt to find “Hidden Mickeys” during your stay. This app uses GPS to help you find these icons nearest to you. You can use it in conjunction or instead of  the book “Hidden Mickeys — A Field Guide to Walt Disney World’s Best Kept Secrets”.

Using a mobile Disney app for planning your next Disney World trip can really  help take the stress out of planning and give you more time to enjoy your vacation.
