Play Disney Parks will be launching on June 30 bringing new mobile app to the Android and iOS markets to encourage guests at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort to… stare even more at their phones and devices!
The free app is actually aimed at helping guests find fun ways to pass the time in line or while waiting for FastPass return times, etc. There also seems to be incentive based activities as Disney promises that the more you explore in Disney parks, the more there is to discover on the app.
What Can You Do?
Group Play
Group play is a big component here that enables everyone to join in on the fun, guests will turn wait time into play time with all-new interactive experiences and activities created for select attraction queues, including: “Playset Party” at Toy Story Mania! in Disney California Adventure park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, “Off to Neverland” at Peter Pan’s Flight at Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom, “Rocket Race” at Space Mountain at Disneyland park and Magic Kingdom, and “Andy’s Boardgame Blast!” at the new Slinky Dog Dash coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And there’s even more to explore in the app!
Earn Digital Rewards
Guests signed into their Disney account (available to guests 13 and over) can also earn, collect and share uniquely themed achievements, rewarded for playing games, answering trivia, completing challenges and experiencing select attractions across Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort. And with the Disney trivia feature, there’s sure to be something for everyone to enjoy as guests can discover fun facts about their favorite theme parks.

This first-of-its-kind Disney app will also allow guests to celebrate the songs of Disney in a whole new way.
