In-Depth Information
for Space Mountain is 60 minutes, and that based on what we know about how Dis-
ney manages Space Mountain's queue, the actual time you'll probably wait in line is
48 minutes. Lines is the only Disney-parks app that shows you both posted and actual
wait times.
Lines' chat feature, through which you can ask questions and give travel tips, has
grown into a thriving virtual community. Hundreds of “Liners” interact every day in
discussions that stay remarkably on-topic for an Internet forum, and the group organ-
izes regular in-park meets. We're thrilled with it.
Lines is available free to
touringplans.com
subscribers for the Apple iPhone and
iPad at the iTunes Store (search for “TouringPlans”; requires iOS 4.3 or later) and
for Android devices at the Google Play Store (requires Android 2.1 Eclair or later).

As long as you've got that smartphone handy while visiting the World, we and
your fellow
Unofficial Guide
readers would love it if you'd pitch in and report on the
actual wait times you get while you're there. Simply open Lines, log in to your user
account, and click “+Time” in the upper right corner. Because Walt Disney World has
free Wi-Fi now, you international users can help, too. We'll use your findings to up-
date the wait times for everyone in the park.
Lines has been extremely well received—it's rated higher than Disney's official
park apps—and we get lots of comments on it. A family from New York used Lines
and got neighborhood bragging rights:
We used your iPhone mobile app for our trip to WDW and barely waited for
anything! We have neighbors whose vacation overlapped ours by a couple of
days. They didn't have your app, and they complained about long lines (they
waited 60 minutes for Soarin', we waited 10!) and crowds. Lines made our
visit so much smoother, and your Crowd Calendar even made us change park
strategy one evening and it benefitted us greatly!
A father from Brazil appreciated Lines' touring plans and wait-time estimates:
The plans worked perfectly! At a certain point around halfway, I checked the
plan and we were running within minutes of the schedule. I did not even have
to use FastPass+
