Mobile Magic Application
Transforms Verizon Wireless Phones into Electronic Tour Guides to
Navigate Disney Parks
Imagine having a personal tour guide to lead the way
around the vacation magic of Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland
Resort. Now imagine that tour guide is in the palm of your
hand and able to point you to a visit with a Disney princess or
directly to a Fantasyland attraction.
This is the main screen for
the Magic Kingdom attractions
on your Verizon phone.
Starting in early November, Verizon Wireless customers have
exclusive access to Mobile Magic, the first Disney-developed mobile
application that enables them to easily navigate Disney parks on
both coasts, providing helpful and timely information. With
either a swipe of their fingers or the touch of a few keys, guests
can access an array of park features on their Verizon Wireless
phones, including:
-
Updated attraction wait times and FASTPASS
return times for the park they are in.
-
Locations of their favorite attractions,
characters and restaurants, with GPS-enabled maps.
-
Restaurants for breakfast, lunch, dinner or
snacks.
-
Tips on what’s happening in the parks.
-
Trivia games to play against other park guests.
New content will continue to be added to the Mobile
Magic application as the attractions and opportunities at the Disney
parks and resorts continue to evolve.
Exclusive to Verizon Wireless customers, Mobile
Magic is available for download and purchase for $9.99 for a 180-day
subscription*. Verizon Wireless customers can also text MAGIC
to 2777 to purchase the application on a wide variety of feature
phones. Download and message charges may apply. Airtime or
megabyte data charges may apply when browsing, downloading and using
certain applications.
Mobile Magic, marking a first in both the travel and
mobile industries, is the outgrowth of a new multi-year relationship
between Disney Parks and Verizon Wireless aimed at enhancing the
park experience. Verizon Wireless continues to invest in its
nationwide wireless network, and the relationship with Disney means
Verizon Wireless users will benefit from further enhancements to the
Verizon Wireless network in the parks.
Guests are currently using Verizon Wireless’
technology with Disney’s Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure, an
ultra-interactive attraction at Epcot at Walt Disney World Resort.
Guests who are not Verizon Wireless customers can
access select information, such as park hours, attraction
information, entertainment schedules and dining information, through
the new m.disneyworld.com and m.disneyland.com mobile Web sites with
their browser-enabled phones.
