Disney World Lines (TP)

I know you are thinking how can something so cheap be worth it for planning an expensive vacation. Frankly, it is worth 10 times the money at least. I used this in Oct of 2017 for WDW. I planned for my family and for my in-laws to meet us at the parks for a few days. The planned worked perfectly! Used again Oct 2019 for WDW, for Universal in July of 2021, and now again July 2024 for WDW. Touring Plans makes it so you can see where one ride is to another, how long a ride or show is, and really line up your day. It shows you the expected crowd at the park which helps to choose which park to do. And it shows you a list of what is available to do in each park. There is more than you might think. You should check into each one. Some of the most surprising things are the ones you would otherwise walk by like Mickey’s Philharmagic in MK. Great show and especially for the afternoon when you need to recharge. Line up you day! It takes time to go through the pavilions in Epcot. Touring Plans tells you how long it will take you to walk from Norway to Canada. You need to think ahead if you want to eat in Italy after hanging out in France. Touring Plans helps you get that list down of things you want to do and plan them out so you actually do them. It helps you add in the hidden gems that without Touring Plans you would walk by. It gives you a plan so you know where you will be when your family will want to eat. You look into what is available in that area and know in advance what direction to go. No one wants to walk around more or wait for you to read off a bunch of different menus to them so they can all vote in 90* heat. You know what your family likes. You know what you like. Touring Plans helps you to make a trip filled with only your likes. This is a must.

I’ve used this app multiple times, and every time DH says to go off plan it doesn’t go nearly as well. We spent a day at the magic kingdom, finished our plan by 2:15pm after seeing everything in the park we wanted to see, never spent more than 25 min in line, and spent the rest of the day at the pool. Way better for everyone than waiting in endless lines all day! Spent today at Hollywood studios, got our slinky dog fastpass 2 months in advance, and spent 7 minutes in line vs 85 for everyone else. Use in combo with the Disney app for best results, compare wait times, adjust as needed, and enjoy leaving rides while watching the lines get longer after you’re done! Spend a few minutes getting used to it before you go as not everything is intuitive. Plan on the computer since it’s easier to move things around via drag and drop (which doesn’t really work on the phone) and adjust on the go in the park. Make sure you select your plan for each day, that makes it easier to navigate to, and follow wait times using the parks button at the bottom. It’s fun to time your waits too and see how long you really spent in line. That also helps the programs accuracy so it’s a win win. I’m sure there’s stuff in there I haven’t even figured out yet! Read the book, get the app, and enjoy a much more smooth experience.

This app was indispensable for a one day trip to Magic Kingdom. We went the day after Christmas, easily one of the park's busiest days, and this app helped us to create, navigate, and adjust our schedule to minimize stress and maximize efficiency which meant packing in the fun! The app was even more important because our trip was scheduled at the last minute and the best fast pass times had been already distributed. Some important highlights include: the ability to adjust and optimize your schedule in real time; the often irreverent and hilarious quick reference review guide accessible through the "wait time" feature that helped us decide whether or not an attraction was worth the wait; and menus and restaurant recommendations and tips that helped narrow the overwhelming choices (these were spot on and did not disappoint!); my primary suggestion would be a better fast pass availability feature that includes remaining fast pass times for more than one user. Families do Disney most often so a range of available fast pass times or a minimum of times for 3 or 4 users would be more useful. A secondary recommendation would be the ability to save previous plans after a new one is optimized. If this feature exists I must have missed it. On one occasion I liked my previous optimized plan better but recreating it was inconvenient. Overall a brilliant comprehensive app that uses big data to help consumers optimize their Disney experience. I look forward to what you will develop next!
