Even the tip boards at the parks are somewhat questionable. The CM stationed there contacts all the attractions for their wait times every 30 minutes if not every hour (I could be wrong, it's been a while).
To me, the fun of the app is not having it at the park but using for a Disney fix at home, since I don't ride any attraction listing a wait time on the board of more than 15 min, unless I have an FP for it. I figure there are plenty of other attractions to enjoy. I've just always wanted to know what the wait times are on peak days in peak season.

Guess I should add July 4th to my list, too. :)

You make a dining reservation at a restaurant but refer to it as your "ADR"

Well, it is a ADR, just not at a Disney World restaurant. You can always pretend where-ever you're dining is at WDW resort. :D

Hmmmmm, I like that idea. I wonder if Rosa Mexicano will understand when I call and say I'd like to make an ADR?
Step out to your left please. When the car stops, step out to your left.

You routinely get on Bing or Google Earth just so you can explore WDW from an aerial point of view. I can take up some serious time just "flying" around the property using one of those programs.

Combine that with some ride video footage and you can waste a whole day! :D

Any time I use Google Earth, I have to look at Disney World first. I get upset when my husband forgets this rule. ;) :lol:
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

What? He has not been completely indoctrinated into being a Disney theme-park fan yet? Sounds like some heavy brainwashing is gonna be the next step... :wink:

When you are working feverishly on some school work and suddenly get the urge to get a drink so you can whip out your Mickey mug. Did that earlier and it made the work go by quicker.

Oh he's already come a LONG way. He had never been until he went with my family in 2007. I don't think he really knew what to expect before he went and he said the first day he hated it (though in his defense, my family was moving ridiculously slow that day - it took them two hours to get from the front gate of Epcot to Canada because they kept stopping for water and bathroom breaks :roll: )He liked it much better later on in the week and even better when we went just us after we got married. Now I've got him trained on proper attraction names and such. He's not a crazed fanatic like us, but he is an annual passholder and has taken me 5 (about to be 6) times in the 2.5 years we've been married, so I don't think he's too bad. ;)
