My Disney Experience for Android
Looks good up front. We arrived after setting up for months. Confirmed check in online. Get there, never get a text about our room. Check with the unhelpful bellman, told to wait in line. Wait for 15 minutes in line, told we didn't confirm online. Showed the confirmation email, not even a sorry about that. Still, the room number doesn't show in the app, says to wait. No time estimates between places using their tracked buses and my tracked devices. Seems simple, maybe implement it since a child could code that. Tell me when the next bus is going to show up and where it's going to take us. Recommend to leave before our reservation to get there on time. Seems like another easy to implement thing. So far, no magic, all talk. I want to be truly surprised by the ease of the trip. You have the tech,use it.
This app is the worst I've seen for battery consumption. It remains running after switching, even if it's closed from running app view. I'm forced to terminate it through the Battery section of Device maintenance. It drains my Galaxy S7 at over 10 to 20% per hour. As an app developer, this is absolutely unacceptable. Most features work as expected, however, please revisit searching from the map, it zooms to the wrong park, or doesn't tell you when a searched attraction can't be found. It was useful to get around, find wait times, and laugh at our ride pictures though.
All and all app worked well some things I would like to see is if you have friends/family in your trip party, you can see there location example your using a ride swap you can find your party when done. Also for picture help elimanate duplicates (based on meta data). The other thing is create a walk though video/in app use like it does for a lot of games
Everything seems OK except for the Magic bands link. It keeps giving me an error message and won't load them. When I try to manually link them, it says they're already linked to the account but they won't show up! Very frustrating.
Great app - we used it on our trip and it was fantastic for booking fast passes and changing them and then when they were used up it was grwat for booking more. The photos were brilliant too. A really useful app if your visiting any of the parks.
ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE! This app is horrible. It fails all the time, always has an error when trying to plan reservations and fastpasses, and overall just does not work most of the time. We went through half out vacation only being able to book one fast pass a day and get fed up and had the concierge plan them for our entire vacation in 10 minutes. Plus he had us addition special passes for any ride any day for the trouble because he even admitted the app is horrible. One of my family members with us on the vacation we used this is a programmer and said that a 4 yr old could program this app better than the idiots that currently do. Needs to be taken off the marke and remade from scratch or go back to the easier old school method where you call in your meal reservations before the trip and get our fast passes at kiosks in the park! 0/10 worst thing Disney created!
When the app works, its great! However, trying to schedule fastpasses at my 60 day mark has been unsuccessful. Keeps saying Error, we cant find any of your plans, try again later...8 hours so far, and still nothing...
So I'm getting married and this is our honeymoon destination and this is my first trip ever to Disney. So planning our meals and looking at where characters are that I've only seen in the movies is getting me more excited for our honeymoon. Thank you Disney for putting this out!!!
There are good apps and bad apps, but when an app is so bad that it causes the rest of my phone to malfunction, that's something else. Since installing this app, I have had to restart my phone 3 times in 1 day. If I could rate this 0 stars, I would. Disney is supposed to be the happiest place on earth, but this app has been nothing but a pain in the ass.
Contains a lot good information that can really improve Disney theme park visit experience. Let's you choose your FastPass+ events and later modify them as needed. However it hangs up occasionally and you need to restart.
It's a good app overall, but it doesn't keep up with accurate times of the parks. It's super helpful for almost everything and helps find more times for dining reservations!
This app is amazing I went to Disney and used it and I just I loved it so much it's so easy to use and gives you the entire map without having a crumpled up piece of paper. YAY
Wait times have finally started showing (almost a month after it broke) However it still uses the GPS in the background and eats battery. Why does this app need to check location in the BACKGROUND? I don't see any functionality that would require this...
So this app does not let me link my account. This app does not let me see full menus of restaurants. I'm super frustrated that I can't get help to fix these issues. This is a cool idea but very poor execution.
Terrible app. The best way to ruin your experience. Nothing integrated with nothing: from your plan you get to the map but cannot navigate. You need to get baxk to the main screen find it agaun and hit navigate.SERIOUSLY???? IS THIS ALL ABOUT F@KING WITH GUESTS?
Overall a good app but the magic band linking feature is intermittent at best. Often gives an error that Magic Pass information can't be found.
A HUGE battery drain, it's constantly pushing for GPS even when the app is force closed and not in recent apps. The app itself is good, just horrific optimisation.
High battery drain. Force killed the app more than I used it. This app starts itself up all day long and consumes battery power via gps and data. Google Nexus 6P, Android N 7.1.2.
This app is so helpful with making it not so stressful for my husband to even think of going. Plan fast passes and planning meals. I like that they have the how much the restaurants are.
Great app for planning your Disney world trip. I go every year and use this with no problem. It's great for dinning reservations, fast passes
Great app! Only reason I have 4 stars instead of 5 is because of missing restaurant/dining menus for quite a few locations.
I love this app. I am an over planner and this TRULY is a magical way to help me. Thank you SO much Disney, you never cease to amaze me! ❤❤❤❤
I am planning my trip for the first time for 14 people and it has helped me out a good bit! I will use it again
Constantly breaking. Reinstallation doesn't work. Time and time again it fails to do anything but serve as a mediocre gps that drains battery life.
Not very easily navigated and I couldn't craft an account after several attempts. Does not have a feature to look at attractions and such by park.
Wont display wait times. Now fixed withe last update. Quit using us for beta testing. Do it yourself and quit using cheap inexperienced indian programmers who dont know what they are doing
Good Luck linking tickets to people. 25% success rate. If you mess up.... which is easy... add person link ticket number to that person.... riiiight. Nope... all tickets linked to me. But get this.... app knows there are 3 other people in my party. Ok fine.... there is a button to reassign... maybe I can figure out how I messed up in what should.... be stupidly simple. I hit reassign button. Nope nothing doesn't care. Fine... my tickets are linked to me no big deal. Let's just use fast pass... I want to go to donkey land or some such ride...ok sir, donkey land party of 1 but I Have 4 friggon tickets... yes sir. Donkey land party of 1. Seriously. 2 days of trying to get system to do a simple link to a ticket number to a name.... plus hour with customer service. Finally fixed it. Butttttttt lost 2 days of fastpass, 24 fast passes... trying to use what should be simple. Dear application, please confirm a number to a ticket, please allow you to "reassign" per your button, please don't ruin "My disney experience." Too Late! I am an IT professional of 30 years whoever did this app... would never get a contract again from my company.
I love the app. I like to check wait times at the parks at different times of the week and day to get a feeling what are the slow times for some of the rides
Haven't explored it too much, but registering tickets and reserving fast passes was a breeze. Very well made.
There is no option to add things to your plans, this does not allow you to do everything seamlessly for booking your vacation.
Good app, helpful in parks especially. Not able to book hotel from app.
Stop raising your prices Disney or we won't be able to come every year anymore. It was $1200 for our passes in 2012, now we are pushing $2k
Some connectivity issues... you have to resubmit the same information multiple times while doing some searches
Can't wait for my next trip. This app is great for keeping track of your schedule.
App no longer works. Continually tells me it can't find my plans.
Trying to create fast pass reservations...very confusing. Also apparently only one reservation at a time?
Doesn't properly load half of the time. Misses fastpass+ reservations.
Awesone fast pass feature!! Love being able to see where we are walking in real time!
It's good but can be improved sometimes I have difficulty looking up times and events

Good for some things, not for others. Got this app after my uncle recommended it. I love that you can see where characters, events, restrooms, food and shops are on the maps. I've been told you can use GPS to take you straight to all of those things, but my phone's GPS is broken, so I'm not sure about that. I have 3 issues with the app, however. 1. The search function isn't great. If I want to find restaurants that sell dole whip, I'd like to be able to search for it and find restaurants that have it on the menu, but it brings up a hundred other things instead. 2. I love that I can plan to go to an attraction like if a parade is at 3pm I can add that to my planner. But I wish there were a bookmark feature. I'm pretty forgetful, so the option to bookmark a food spit or ride would be awesome. 3. Some food spots don't have menus available.
