Needs an update
Besides an update by Apple to create a Apple Watch icon, this app was last updated by the developer over six years ago. It’s old. It’s ugly. And it’s slow. Meanwhile, the same developer released a Line 2.0 update to the Disney World version of this app over a year ago and just updated that app again to add Lightning Lane functionality. I understand that the developer is based in FL but that’s no excuse for them to take CA users for granted. If the app isn’t updated soon, I will be letting my membership lapse when it expires in May and deleting this app from phone.

Super useful for planning, needs improvement for on the fly use
Loved the concept of the Lines app. I had my 12yo create and optimize her own plans to identify priorities. Appreciated being able to set parameters like max pass and magic morning. Agree with the feedback that being able to create a joint plan for both parks (with a Hopper parameter) would be super useful.
Using the app at Disneyland was clunkier than expected. It would be really useful to be able to drag steps up and down. App response time was slow so the move up move down was cumbersome if you wanted to moved something more than one place. In addition, it would be really great to be able to pin rides to a certain order regardless of FastPass return time. For example, it may be optimal to go on Space Mountain first but my kids had never ridden a roller coaster before so we didn’t want to start there. If we could have pinned Peter Pan or something then optimized it could have made it much easier to plan based on our particular needs, not just reducing wait time.
All this said, would totally use again on our next visit. We used the book as well and it made our trip a million times better than it would have been otherwise.

Not helpful
We took our kids to Disneyland for the first time this week. I haven’t been in years. My twins are 5. I attempted to use the app and create plans for the best of with kids day and other suggested similar plans. I had a hard time going back and forth on the app trying to locate the plans I created bcuz everytime I had to use my phone for something else it would kick me out. Took too much time to get back to where I needed which o didn’t have the patience for while trying to plan my day. Got to Disneyland City Hall to talk to them about plan for day and clarification on best way to use our Max Pass. Showed her the plan from this app and she told me it was way too much jumping around to do with kids and lay out a plan for me step by step with what rides to go on, when to plan next fast pass.... etc. and it was perfect. For me, this app was useless and I didn’t even use it. All I needed was the Disneyland app and I had everything I needed for both parks. Disappointed I paid for this not to get anything out of it.

Keep It Simple!
Perhaps Touring Plans are better suited for the Walt Disney Works Resort parks; however, I’d like to try it again for the Disneyland Resort since I have a slightly longer stay and can spread things out a bit. The TPs tend to compress the plans to the the beginning of the day without any real give in the schedule for fluff time. Break times are included in the program, however I found that they would get rescheduled from time to time. I still think the TPs are great. I hope to have a better experience this time around.

Excellent Planning Tool
The app is worth every last penny based on my experience. I used it multiple times for Disneyland and WDW. The app allows you to build customized itineraries, and then provides projected wait times. You can move the order around and the app will reassess your plan. Pretty amazing - and pretty darn accurate. Also has ride, show and dining reviews. You can search menus Highly recommended

Severely needs a redesign
The app has very helpful information, even since Disney created their own official app with wait times. The touring plans and posted vs. actual wait times feature are worth the subscription.
However, this app design looks like it’s about 10 years old. It isn’t even optimized for an iPhone X and newer display, so much of the screen real estate is wasted.

Great app. UI NEEDS A BIG UPDATE.
App functions great. Can’t wait to use it in the park. But the user interface is very dated and it isn’t even formatted for the iPhone X or Xs. That’s 2 years of no update to fit the newer screens. That’s pretty horrible for a company as well respected as TouringPlans. Do the work and update to take advantage of the entire screen and with a cleaner more modern design.

Real times real menus. Great app
I love Lines app and touring plans. Such a clever use of tech and real stats. You cannot beat it for the real wait times. Also if your time is precious to you use a touring plan. These customised plans max your time and you will never waste time in the park. Awesome
Not Impressed
I got this app because others in a Disneyland group suggested it. I paid the $8 for the year since I live local and have an AP. I found it to be incredibly inaccurate, non-intuitive, more hassle than help, and a complete waste of time and money. The line wait times were way off, I tested 3 times and they were all at least 15 minutes off. I would have been happy to share real time info (e.g. heard the announcement that one of the Soarin theaters went down, doubling the wait time), but couldn’t find a way to do that. I’m not going to work that hard to figure out a PAID app that is supposed to save me time. I ended up wasting park time trying to use it.
Wish I could get a refund as I used it a total of 4 hours before ditching it.

Must have for Disney Trips
I wouldn’t go to WDW or Disneyland without using Lines and Touring Plans. At first the idea of having a more structured trip wasn’t appealing to me after going so many times, but now it isn’t all the bad. This app and website is a must have for any trip!
