Comments on: Verizon to offer mobile app for Disney vacationers

Verizon Wireless will begin offering a application to help people plan and manage their vacations to Walt Disney Parks and Resorts starting early next year.

I don't know what is sadder- the fact that people are chained to their cell phones even on vacation, or the article for picking up a vague press release and making it even vaguer than before.

So sad.

I'm surprised, would think that they would want less coverage in the parks and not more. One of the things my wife most often recalls from our visit to Epcot a few years ago was someone woman who yakked her way through a slow boat ride exhibit making it more difficult to hear the presenter.

I guess if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, eh, Disney? At least they're finally picking a better partner. Maybe they can make a re-run at the Disney Mobile concept that failed when they picked the useless Sprint PCS MNVO platform to run it.

Solitare_pax, what's sadder is that they had to put in an iPhone reference for a story that has absolutely nothing to do with the iPhone.

I say it's pretty dumb to focus on one wireless provider. I'm with Verizon, so I don't care (not that I'd pay for this application), but damn- you're shutting out a good percentage of your visitors. Something more universal like a phone-friendly website would be better to start with. I've had internet on my unsophisticated phone for years now.
