Description

Disney trips are supposed to be about being in the moment. So why does it feel like we spend half the day staring at our phones? That’s the problem behind a project Tim has been quietly working on: a new Disneyland app designed to actually help you use your phone less. In this episode, we finally talk about the app, how it can suggest what to do next based on your family, location, preferences and current wait times, plus ride alerts, lock-screen wait times, food planning and more. The goal is simple: less scrolling, less bouncing around the park, and more time actually enjoying Disneyland. Of course, this episode also completely goes off the rails. We talk about the end of the Play Disney Parks app, possible app names, rides that constantly break down, how Disney trips change when you become a parent, and somehow end up debating whether we should book flights to Florida and finally take a Disney Cruise. So yes, we built an app to get off our phones. And then talked about it for an hour. Shop Main St. Dreamers: https://mainstdreamers.com
