Cell Phone Setup for WDW

For regular phones:

• phone numbers: Disney Dining (407-WDW-DINE) and WDW Information (407-WDW-MAGIC). Google's GOOG-411 is also a good number to have plugged-into your phone list for toll-free information.
• text messaging: if you are staying at a Disney resort, you can be notified when the room is ready. Also, don't forget your phone when you go to the parks, some attractions allow guests to interact using text messaging.
• calendar: no need to print your Disney Dining reservations, just add them to your phone's calendar, along with reservation numbers.
• camera: setup a LaughingPlace account so that you can participate in LaughingPlace's LP Live during your trip. You can add to a real-time photo blog and share it with your friends/family.
  

The following options are good for smart phones:

• maps: If you don't know the parks yet, download park Maps to your cell phone or print them before you leave. Driving maps are also handy if you plan to do non-park Disney activities. Walt Disney World maps exist for EVERYTHING. Disney has a great tool for customizing your own maps. If you know how to print to PDFs, you should be able to store Disney's custom maps on your cell phone.
  
• apps: Many different iPhone WDW apps are available. Most recently, interactive GPS-enabled park maps are popular. There are also apps for accessing Disney dining information, secrets, hidden mickeys and ride wait times. For ride wait times, there is debate as to whether or not the apps provide actual Disney wait time data on a regular basis; some ride wait time apps depend on user-supplied data. Be careful of apps that interface directly with Disney data (e.g. The WDW Times Guide iPhone app may be illegally using Disney content). Also, it's not a bad idea to check some of the generic travel apps.
  
• browser bookmarks: Bookmark my free iPhone web app, wdw411.com. This tool will be your one-stop-shop to connect to the "best of the web" WDW sites while on your vacation. Sections in the app include: Schedules, News, Maps, Dining, Attractions, Non-Park, Fun Stuff, and Resources. The app should also work on most modern browsers.
  
• GPS: Download GPS coordinates, including nearby points of interest (POI).
