There's some mistakes in this, most notably that the app is not a requirement to go to Disneyland or Disney World.
I've been to both and I can confidently say I could go without installing the Disney apps.
Tickets: At Disney World you can get a physical RFID card and at Disneyland you get paper tickets to enter the park.
Maps: You could download a map online, find a paper map, or just ask around!
Wait times: https://thrill-data.com https://thrill-data.com
- fragmede 4y agoHow do you access Disney Genie (neé FastPass) without an app? Do you just wait in line?
- sumeno 4y agoYou can use the website directly or go to customer service at the park
- easton 4y agoTo my knowledge at Disney World there isn’t a web client for Genie like there was for FastPass+, since it’s all day of you’re expected to do it in the park on your phone (I’d be happy to be proven wrong). Guest Services can probably still do it though, you’re right.
- sumeno 4y agoYou can book lightning lanes through the website (or at least you could last February). It's the most reliable way to get the ones that are very popular because the app is too slow, it's better to log in on a laptop from the hotel first thing in the morning.
- jjulius 4y ago>There's some mistakes in this, most notably that the app is not a requirement to go to Disneyland or Disney World. As the piece notes, this is about the tech stack itself, not the actual experience at the park. In the companion piece[1] that is linked to at the very beginning of the article, it's clearly stated repeatedly that the app is not required, but that your experience may not be as "ideal" as you would like as a result.
