Mouse Bound is the easy way to count down to your next resort vacation. Add your upcoming trip, pick your resort, and watch the days tick away with a countdown displayed over real photos of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Aulani, and all Disney Vacation Club resorts. COUNTDOWN IN STYLE See your trip countdown front and center with resort-specific backgrounds. Every resort has its own photo so you feel the magic before you even arrive. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Keep the countdown one glance away. Small, medium, and large widgets put your trip right on your Home Screen with the same resort backgrounds. BOOKING WINDOWS See your dining and Lightning Lane booking dates right on your trip cards and countdowns, so you always know what's coming up. Mouse Bound reminds you when each window opens too, for resort stays and park-only days alike. FAMILY SYNC Set up once and every trip any family member adds automatically appears on everyone's devices, including widgets, custom titles, and notes. Promote any member to co-owner so they can invite new members and manage any trip too. Works with Apple Family Sharing so the whole family stays on the same page. NEVER LOSE A TRIP Your trips back up to iCloud automatically. Reinstall the app or switch to a new device and everything restores on its own; every countdown, title, and note right where you left it. You can also restore anytime from Settings. TRIP SHARING Share a trip with friends or travel companions using a QR code or link. When you update dates or details, everyone sees the changes automatically. Now you can share completed trips too. Send a friend a copy of a trip you’ve already taken so they can relive it and store the memories. IPHONE & IPAD Mouse Bound runs natively on both. Check your countdown on your phone or spread out on the bigger iPad screen — same trips, same widgets, all in sync.
