Update to current schedule ### 3/5 — I like it but… *2022-01-20, version 1.01* I really wish I could cast it to my TV instead of it just sitting on my phone or iPad. ### 4/5 — Park Hours and Events not updated *2021-11-01, version 1.01* This app is great for nostalgia and for people that love Disney. The only problems I have with it are the hours of the park are not updated and events aren’t updated. Developer needs to make sure this is addressed in future updates. ### 3/5 — Amazing concept, poorly executed *2021-10-15, version 1.01* This app is amazing if you don’t care about listening to the same Star Wars theme on repeat, please make it to where it is an actual stream from the resorts! ### 2/5 — Everyday user! *2021-05-19, version 1.01* I use this app every day but lately I have been getting a white screen with error message “error communicating with origin”. Can you please fix this issue! I love using this app! ### 3/5 — enjoy this but... *2021-02-28, version 1.01* Despite this supposedly being a live version it’s not. The audio is from. Resort TV1 YouTube video. I know it’s that because it’s has the same audio screech in the same spot as that one, plus it has Josh’s voice at the end telling people to go check out their other videos. I don’t know if Josh and Jenna run this app or not, but the audio is not live. It’s neat having the screen reflect the current day though. ### 2/5 — NEEDS UPDATE *2020-10-24, version 1.01* It’s not live anymore, but the app is still good for the music. I’ll change my rating when it gets updated. ### 2/5 — Not updating *2020-10-15, version 1.01* Love the music, however everyday the date changes but the parks are all listed as closed...? I tried deleting and re-downloading and that didn’t help. Any suggestions? ### 3/5 — Needs to be updated *2020-10-12, version 1.01* I used to love this app- but it needs to be updated. The hours just say closed for all parks and seeing that is just depressing. Also it now has random ads- which ruins the feel and mood this app creates. I would rather pay for an ad free version- especially if you could pick your favorite resort to be included in the slide show. Also it needs the ability to cast or airplay to a larger screen. ### 4/5 — Good app, needs update! *2020-10-09, version 1.01* Love this app! But please, please, please update this app!! ### 3/5 — Not real-time info but cute concept *2020-09-27, version 1.01* Love the app concept, but it’s not real-time. I just downloaded it and double checked the times on MDE and they were wrong. The app said the parks were closed as of 6pm EST today (Sept 27th 2020) yet they weren’t. The only park closed was AK, the other 3 parks are still open. I’ve seen comments that say it’s a livestream of whatever is playing at the Disney Resorts, but doesn’t look like it’s real time. Still appreciate the little extra Disney Magic on my phone, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless it gave real-time info. Just being honest. ### 3/5 — Wish it worked! *2020-09-09, version 1.01* I love the idea of this app, and I know it hasn’t been updated since last year which is probably why the times aren’t showing anymore, it just says that the parks are closed. I’d love to see this app up and working again one day as it makes me feel like I’m there even though I can’t go during the pandemic! 😊 ### 4/5 — I like it, but I have one complaint. *2020-08-24, version 1.01* I downloaded the app a few days ago as the parks were slowly reopening. I love listening to the music and sometimes I sing along. However, since all the parks have reopened now every time I look to see what time the parks are open till, all it says for each one is, “Closed” and I don’t understand why. The first time I saw this was for Magic Kingdom and I checked somewhere else for myself and it said it was open till 7PM. Did or is anyone else experience the same problem? If you did, how did you fix it. I would greatly appreciate any help and suggestions. Thank you in advance. I just tried it again today and having even more problems. I got an error message. Hows anyone ever received that? What did you do and do you have any tips on what I could/should do to fix it? ### 2/5 — Trouble w/the server *2020-08-24, version 1.01* I used to LOVE this APP but suddenly it went wrong.Just sound and no graphics.. A possible clinch? .. I hope this will come back online .. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t Work *2020-08-16, version 1.01* Doesn’t show park hours, weather, nothing ! Use to be a great APP. Please fix it. Thank You. ### 3/5 — Are we sure it is livestream? *2020-08-11, version 1.01* I question weather it is livestream since it is saying all the parks were closed when they were open today. I know during COVID there has been a lot of reshuffling of time but this app would be so much cooler if it was actually livestream. And yes, I would pay for this app to get rid of the ads. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not accurate *2026-01-02, version 1.01* The park time are not correct ### 1/5 — Totally inaccurate *2025-01-13, version 1.01* Claims daily updates of park hours. Yet app shows wrong water park open, and mentions park hopping from 2pm.. about a YEAR ago maybe! Downloaded and deleted in minutes ### 1/5 — Was great but… *2022-03-01, version 1.01* I loved this app until yesterday when it suddenly stopped working and displayed the code ‘404 sorry’ - no idea why as it’s been working great for several years 😢 ### 1/5 — :( *2020-10-22, version 1.01* It obviously has not been updated since quarantine started. Also it’s not the same as resorts. The resorts screens are animated. Boooo ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-10-18, version 1.01* This app doesn’t work for me at all. It just says ‘closed’ for the parks and it plays the same music each time I open the app. It’s very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Not live *2020-08-30, version 1.01* This purports to be “live” but it clearly is not. If you just want to mimic the feel and music, it’s fine for what it is. The parks are open once more and the pretend “live” version hasn’t been updated. No point I. Really having this as you can find on YouTube just as easily. ### 1/5 — Not up to date *2020-08-25, version 1.01* The app is not current. Shows all WDW parks closed - no hours. I enjoyed this when it was up to date but now it useless. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work *2020-08-08, version 1.01* It is a scam. Does not say park hours. A way to get you to watch their ads. Don’t waste your time! ### 1/5 — So close *2020-05-29, version 1.01* I wanted to love this app. I would give anything to listen to WDW Resort music 24/7. BUT the music stops as soon as your phone closes. So unless you want to walk around with your screen on all the time this app is a fail. Please fix this. Please please please. ### 1/5 — The app is totally ruined. *2020-03-01, version 1.01* This was a great way to watch the current park information and feel like you were at Disney. Now the UI is asking for a captcha that you can’t complete because you cannot scroll, and it defaults to an ad for another app entirely. Deleting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s a Small Request ;) *2024-03-18, version 1.01* Love the idea of taking a piece of your WDW Resort on the go, but if I’m on the go I don’t normally have my phone unlocked/open in the app. I would love to be able to continue listening to the music when I am out of the app and even when my phone is locked and in my pocket. I still recommend this app as all of us Disney lovers love having small pieces of magic like this when we’re not on Disney grounds. Would love some feedback from this request. Thanks so much! ### 5/5 — amazing *2023-05-30, version 1.01* I love it ### 5/5 — LOVE LOVE LOVE! *2021-03-21, version 1.01* There nothing like seeing this channel for the first time you enter your resort room! Now I can have that same feeling when I load this app up at home 😊 ### 5/5 — Needs an update *2021-03-07, version 1.01* Needs update and play on AppleTV, Love it otherwise. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-02-22, version 1.01* Just needs an Apple TV version! ### 5/5 — Airplay *2020-12-21, version 1.01* Just needs airplay support so this fits to my tv screen! Also this doesn’t help my Disney world withdrawals so thanks for that! ### 5/5 — Love it! Any chance for Apple TV app? *2020-07-08, version 1.01* Love it! ### 5/5 — It’s like I’m actually at the resort! *2020-05-08, version 1.01* I loooooove this app since it’s the live feed directly from the WDW resorts! I cannot tell you how many times I have turned this on for a few minutes as an instant Disney fix or have let it play for an hour in the background. It truly feels like I’m getting ready to get on the monorail! ### 5/5 — Great *2020-05-05, version 1.01* I love it, I wish I could get it on a Apple TV or be able to cast to a tv from the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2019-09-02, version 1.01* I feel like I’m in Disney world. It would be really nice if you could choose your own hotel and you can see that as well. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
