This app is mandatory for any Disney vacation. Familiarize yourself with it and make sure you know how everything works. It makes it easy to make/change dining reservations, fastpasses (soon to be lightning lanes), and makes it super easy to check into your room as well as unlock the door. I would give a higher rating IF the app didn't absolutely decimate my phone battery, and wasn't so glitchy. When you are in the park the app does have a tendency to crash when there are a lot of people.
Pros:
Has literally everything at your fingertipsCons:
can be glitchy, can be confusing for non-tech-savy people.Reviewed by dreamtripp Review Date: 04/14/2021

The website is FABULOUS for planning. I could not go without it. I have always had trouble with the app though. It seems like unless you have the most recent iphone it just crashes constantly.
Pros:
priceless trip organizer/plannerCons:

Great when it is working. two years ago we linked with friends and the site went
down when I was linking with them. It replaced my husband with my girlfriend and it took a year to clear up the problem. Disney made up for it though each time it happened with other perks. Worst part was standing in line at guest services to get it corrected each time it happened.
Pros:
great when it worksCons:

The app is very helpful when it comes to navigating the parks, checking wait times, checking show times, checking character experiences, and instantly previewing your photo pass pictures. During my last trip, I could only see the map for Magic Kingdom. This was a minor annoyance and kept my rating from a 10.
Pros:
Convenience, efficiency, one stop shop for all the information you need, helps you plan your day once you are in the parksCons:
Did not display maps for all parksReviewed by Jason V Review Date: 09/29/2018

This app does have issues sometimes, but refreshing and restarting helps, as does for most apps that act up on mobile phones. I was on data the entire time, so I can't speak to how it worked on Disney's Wifi. I love the mobile ordering, makes it so much faster to get food! Wait times are helpful, especially when a ride is down. It's much easier to check the app than to walk over to the other side of a park to see it's operational again. I also loved the bus times in the app. That also made getting ready to leave the room much less stressful. We also used them for leavng the park. We just took a look about 15-20 mins before we'd be at the bus stop in park and would usually be able to see the estimated arrival time of the bus from the hotel, which would be only a minute before arriving to take us back. I only had waits times go down on me twice, and not for very long. Fastpass always worked, albeit with a slight delay in updating changes. Refreshing works though, my friends.
Pros:
Mobile ordering, bus times, wait timesCons:

The ease of access that Disney provides for you is excellent. I find myself looking up the wait times for rides even when I'm not in the parks - it's just fun to marvel at some of them! I love how the app now keeps track of the fastpasses that you make throughout the day, although I found sometimes it was late in notifying me that a fastpass had been cancelled. I also think it'd be really helpful if the app included a system of keeping track of your dining credits if you are on a Disney dining plan, as we tended to horde receipts throughout the trip. Another thing we wished for was a bus locator - sometimes it was really disheartening to just wait and wait for buses, especially when all you want to do is get to the parks! Other than that, it was very user-friendly and helpful.
Pros:
Wait times, keep track of your fastpasses, full of infoCons:
Didn't update fastpasses always right on timeReviewed by tink Review Date: 04/04/2014

I used the web site to make fast pass+ res before arrival. Making them was no problem, but sometimes when I would check them another day, I would get a message saying it couldn't locate them, but they were on the phone app. When I went back to the web site again, they were there. I changed some fast pass+ res while in the park. Using the phone app. to change only the experience or time is easy, but I don't know if you can change both if no experiences are available for the exact time. Is there a way to see ahead of time what times are available for something, before you decide to change it. I also like being able to check wait times when I am home with the phone app, just to see what the wait times are in Disney World.
