Today I found out about an exciting new app that Disney is going to be rolling out shortly. Simply named “Shop Disney Parks” the app will allow users to purchase virtually any item from a Disney operated store at Walt Disney World right from their smartphones. It will also allow park guests to find the availability of the merchandise in question and where it can be found. The rumors from the sites I went to suggested that eventually it will work with the My Disney Experience app, but that for now the two will remain separate. Although I can’t confirm anything, one site even mentioned that this linking would then allow for the automatic application of discounts that guests may be entitled to have (example: Annual Pass discounts).
As someone who has personally experienced the twinge and then full on pangs of regret for not buying an item while at the parks and wishing for a way to turn back time, I know this app will be a saving grace for many.
Take me to Main Street!
