2024-12-06 | Debbie Rowell | I'm constantly having to uninstall and reinstall this app whenever I'm using it in the parks. It never connects to my magic band or phone as often as I would like without having to go through the installation process. Sometimes some of the interactive games don't react to my fully charged magic band. I'm have a better chance playing the "at home fun" using the app than in the park. | |
2024-11-05 | Hastin Zylstra | Abandoned, sad, and once a jewel of the parks. While many of the features and key aspects of Play Disney Parks still work, the app feels abandoned as of when the Galactic Starcruiser closed. Many of the functionality has broken, and poor bugs still exist. Feels like the app is in maintenance mode, ready to be put out to pasture in favor. Interactivity and immersion feels dead at Disney Parks in favor of $400 upcharge Lightning Lane, which feels where all the devs were put. | |
2023-09-02 | Iliana Pinon | This game is fun to play while waiting in lines. Some have lots of quests like Space Mountain or Peter Pan's flight. The Disney Trivia is also a fun at home challenge. Of course, as always, when using your phone for long periods of time and needing the Bluetooth on, an extra portable phone charger would be a good idea. I use when because I use this and the parks app throughout a park day. | |
2023-07-18 | Katie S | I like using this app to play games at the parks, usually while in line. It's also fun for my nieces and nephews to play along and it keeps them entertained. I have also played a little bit at home to get some of the achievements. One of the trivia games that has NEVER worked for me is "The SOUL of Jazz". Please fix it, it never loads and I end up having to close and reopen the app. A game we have really enjoyed is the "DuckTales World Showcase Adventure" in Epcot! | |
2022-12-28 | Izzy E | The other games are pretty great besides the art of animation. I didn't even make it past the instructions before it froze. (Right when it's telling you to scan the pictures). If it worked this would be higher rating. But other than that- its really fun and a time consumer if you need or want it to be. | |
2022-11-18 | Charles Dlhopolsky | App is hard to use. Hard to find the subpanel that you want. Sometimes it gets disconnected from the magic band (had to restart my phone to fix). Hard to figure out how to work the bounty hunter game. Everything I tried with this app was hard to use. I've been waving at gold statues all week, now just realized you need to start the app to get it to record the ones you've found. | |
2022-10-29 | heather west | Have to re-log in every time I open the app. This takes forever. Half the times I re-log in it says my credentials are incorrect. They are not. I try my entire family's credentials and they are not ALL WRONG. I have to force close app and restart. EVERY SINGLE SESSION of trying to re-open the app and access my starcruiser info, I am told I have to link my reservation. It is linked. Back to log out/ re- log in. For starcruiser guest who are dependant on this app, this blows. | |
2022-09-16 | Jonathan Bates | Slow, buggy, only one "game" worked well. MagicBand+ was a waste of money. Barely worked for a couple golden statues, but didn't work for most. Waited until vibrated and turned white but just wouldn't recognize the shake. Bounty Hunters doesn't work well, and there's no "game" to it other than hot/cold. Most games don't work well, are slow, buggy, or not really games. The best game is for Space Mountain, but most of it is in the final queueing area so you're boarding soon. | |
2019-12-06 | A Google user | I downloaded the app to play in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. It's a buggy battery eater. No matter how many times I tried to check the map to find the location of the next job, it only showed icons and no map. For someone who only has to charge their phone once every day and a half, it ate my battery in two hours. It made me hesitant to try any games in other parks. It fails to acknowledge park attendence achievements. It crashes and freezes often. What can I say? I just expect more from Disney. | |
2019-11-08 | A Google user | DO NOT GET THIS APP!!! The second I installed this app, it froze my entire phone for several minutes! I couldn't restart my phone. It took 20min and I finally exited the app and deleted it. As it was deleting the app, it shut my phone off! Couldn't revive my phone in any way. It eventually turned back on. This is the WORST APP on here! DO NOT GET! |
