Undercover Tourist, an Orlando, Florida-based discount travel company, is helping visitors of Walt Disney World® navigate those long attraction lines with the launch of a new iPhone application. The Undercover Tourist App, developed in conjunction with Phunware, Inc., is an innovative, first-of-its-kind application designed to maximize the enjoyment for visitors to Disney World® by minimizing the time they would otherwise waste standing in long lines or looking for their favorite attraction.
“They no longer need bulky maps and papers to find their way around the parks or search for others in their party. Now guests simply engage with this app, wherever and whenever they need, it that has everything they need for their visit in one simple and convenient location.”
“We felt we were doing a great job getting our customers through the gates of popular theme parks like Disney World. Through our app, we can now further serve them once they are inside,” said Ian Ford, president and co-founder, Undercover Tourist. “This application helps customers avoid long lines, navigate their way to each attraction, and learn more about rides and restaurants all when they can use it most – while they’re actually inside the Disney World® parks.”
The Undercover Tourist App features accurate wait-times integrated in real-time with park maps, information about rides and restaurants within the parks, and the ability to purchase attraction tickets through Undercover Tourist, among other functions. The maps and wait times offered in the Undercover Tourist App are available for Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom®, Epcot®, Disney’s Hollywood Studios™ and Disney’s Animal Kingdom®.
“The Undercover Tourist App is a unique new experience for guests of Walt Disney World®,” stated Alan S. Knitowski, CEO, Phunware, Inc. “They no longer need bulky maps and papers to find their way around the parks or search for others in their party. Now guests simply engage with this app, wherever and whenever they need, it that has everything they need for their visit in one simple and convenient location.”
The application will cost $3.99. However, for the first 90 days following the application’s launch, Undercover Tourist will offer the application for a price $1.99 in addition to offering an additional $1.99 discount on attraction tickets with a total purchase of $500 or more from www.undercovertourist.com. The Undercover Tourist App is the only iPhone application currently available for the Walt Disney World® parks that combines attraction wait times with actual park maps, allowing users to not only see how long the lines are at each attraction, but also how to best get there.
