As MagicKey holders ourselves, we found that the more often we went, the more we wanted to keep track of what we did at the park. We also tend to visit the park for shorter amounts of time and wanted a way to maximize our few hours by finding shorter ride lines. This began the inspiration for MagicMapper. Our favorite features include a usable search function that shows the specific food and drinks and where they are located, notes and reviews for food and drinks so we remember what we like, and the ability to make a to-do list which comes in especially handy when ordering all that festival food! This is a user-first app that respects your privacy by turning off ad tracking by default. It's designed to collect the bare minimum data in the app and sign up flows. We promise to never sell or share your data with third parties, outside of analytics and app improvements. Since we use the app, we have no interest in selling our data either. We were also shocked at the battery drain of the official app so one of our goals was to create something with as light a foot print as possible! Don’t just take our word for it, a cast member that has been using it said: “​​I use an iphone 16 pro, and I can barely tell any difference in battery life…. …it's 5am to 6:30pm. More than 12 [hours]. …but no way I could do that with any kind of mapping app.” Try it today and tag your PixiePaths with #MagicMapper - we can’t wait to see everyone's days on social media!
