The First “Social“ Disneyland Wait Time iPhone App

PUBLISHED 20 October 2009 No Comment

MouseWait is a free iPhone app that gives Disneyland fans accurate wait times and the chance to bring their Facebook friends into the app to create a true social Disneyland experience. It is scheduled to release Oct 21 in the app store. The best part about Disneyland is experiencing it with other people, and MouseWait is a must have for anyone who is at the park, planning a trip, or at home to satisfy the Disneyland “fix” by looking at live webcams, real-time news and Twitter updates – all from an iPhone!

“I use this app when I am at the park to get accurate wait times, real-time news, and to interact with my Facebook friends who are also Disneyland fans. I use it at home to see images and tweets from the park, to watch the live Disneyland web cams, and to talk to my Facebook friends who are at the park. It is great for trip planning too” said Kelly Johns who developed the app for app316.com.

Mousewait will give iPhone users an instant mobile gateway into Disneyland, California Adventure, and Downtown Disney. MouseWait joins the Magic of Disneyland with the most powerful social networks in the world – Facebook, Twitter, & FriendFeed. It is the first Disneyland iPhone app to bring Disney fans a combination of accurate wait times, live Disneyland webcams, Facebook integration, Twitter feeds, and more — all for FREE!

“We have been annual passholders for over 15 years and our goal with MouseWait is to give Disneyland fans what they want most – accurate wait times, real-time Disneyland news via Twitter and the top Disney blogs in the world, restaurant menus with pricing, LIVE webcams, Facebook integration, and more” said Johns.

The Facebook module allows users to login to their Facebook account and check their Newsfeed from within the app. It also has a feature called “Disneyland Friends” where it shows Facebook Friends who also have MouseWait installed. Disneyland – Facebook users can easily click on a friend and see what they are doing, post to their wall, etc. MouseWait also has the ability to post wait times direct to Facebook.

The Twitter page offers a real-time customized Twitter search that shows all tweets coming from Disneyland, which allows users to see which celebrities are there, how busy it is, and pictures from the park. It also includes a FriendFeed page which displays real-time posts from the top 20 Disneyland blogs in the world. There is even a 1 mile radius search included. The idea is to give the user full, comprehensive access to real-time Disneyland news so they can get an idea of what’s going on within seconds.

The Resources page gives iPhone users tons of great info including live updated restaurant menus (with pricing) from Disneyland, DCA and Downtown Disney, the Disneyland Weekly Update, Event Times and Hours, an Annual Passholder blockout calendar, a complete Disneyland phone list, top 10 Disneyland tips, and more.

“This version of MouseWait will always be free. We are working on MouseWait Premium which will improve integration with Facebook and Twitter and add a lot of other cool features, but for now our focus is to give Disneyland fans tons of great features at no-cost as we continue to improve the free version” said Johns, who had the idea of developing a Disneyland app when the app store originally launched.
