Mobile Magic, the first official Disney Parks app, has hit the iPhone and it’s now ready for you to download for free from iTunes.

And Disney Parks and Verizon have another exciting update to share today. If you’re a Verizon Wireless customer, you now have access to new premium features, including videos and games within the app.

Verizon Premium Features

• More than 100 behind-the-scenes, seasonal, sneak peak videos.
• ‘Pirates’ games that test your knowledge of the famous attraction.
• Guess the character before the timer expires with Disney Character Puzzle.
• Find out which character is most like you with the Disney Character Quiz.

If you haven’t tried the app out yet, you should. It offers accurate wait times as well as official Disney FASTPASS return times and availability for the park you’re in. The same system that powers wait times and Disney FASTPASS in the park, powers this app. With the new iPhone version, the wait times are also integrated into the Park maps, making it easier for you to decide where to go next.

Also, there are GPS-enabled park maps to get you to your favorite characters, mobile games and more to explore, including the ability to make dining reservations.

Not an iPhone user? Disney Mobile Magic is also available on a wide variety of feature phones as well as Android phones.

I would think it would cost a fair bit if you use your UK phone.

I always use a US sim when I'm over there Jeff, it's much more reasonable for texting and calling home and a lot of them come with data as well now.

I've used a verizon or tmobile MIFI device the last few times. I top it up with $30 of data only access and it stays in my pocket. It makes a wifi hotspot which I connect to with iphone or whatever else and voila

What are the price like etc?

Nope this one is purely data but with everyone using iMessage or what'sapp instead of text it works great and you can use it to Skype etc

It's great to be able to wander round the parks and actually post here at the time

Also the apps like waiting time and so on become really useful

yep facetime works great from it! in fact news years eve I facetime'd family back in the UK from EPCOT

I bought mine at Best buy, they also sell the pre-pay top up cards which as I say are $20, $30, $50.

They won't work in the UK though as far as I know although I must admit, I havent tried a tmobile UK sim in it. I doubt it'd work though
