Magic Guide for Disney World Reviews

by Mercedez12

The idea of this ap was good, but the execution was not. There’s no point of downloading an app to figure out where you are if it doesn’t tell you where you are. It’s basically the same as having a paper map. The other Disney app works in that way and proved to be of more use than this.

I downloaded MagicGuide to get wait times and at first, it worked perfectly! Recently, it has been non stop, “Network Unavailable” I thought it might be the fact that I hadn’t bought the upgraded version so I paid the $7.99 hoping it would get me wait times. Unfortunately, no luck. I have all/full internet service and ALL my apps (internet required ones as well) are working perfectly fine, so not sure why “Network Unavailable” continues to be a never ending issue. Would have totally given it MORE than 5 stars when it worked at the beginning.

I got MagicGuide since there’s no MDE for Apple Watch. At first MagicGuide let me check the wait times for all of the parks which is why I got it. At that point it would have been 5 Stars. But I recently checked it, and it told me I had to purchase premium to use MagicGuide on my Apple Watch. So needless to say MagicGuide and the Universal version have both been deleted. Don’t buy it. They’ll probably make you pay a higher premium price 2 months from now or make it a subscription for something that is free on your phone with MyDisneyExperience.

MagicGuide seems like it would be a good idea, but after watching it extensively, I’ve come to the conclusion that the wait times are just made up. Maybe they are based on historical data, but it’s not live. They never match Disney Worlds actual wait time on their app. Now that they are also charging to get false wait times on the iWatch, I’m done with MagicGuide. It is good for the maps, but that’s about it. Just get the official Disney Word app called My Disney Experience. It has everything you need and more - and it’s free.

Works on phone but not Apple Watch. Reinstalled twice. Click favorites it only displays “to add favorites select them on the iPhone” message even though I DO have favorites picked on the phone.

Tapping a park icon on watch brings up absolutely nothing, blank screen.

Paid for MagicGuide upgrade specifically to use on watch and very upset to have given my money to crooks who lied when they advertised watch functionality.

MagicGuide would get 4 to 5 stars but the menus are not up to date on many of the restaurants not to mention the codes for if the restaurant is a Disney Dining Plan restaurant is not alway accurate. Still a helpful app for planing and even with just two stars I recommend because you can still plan even if menus are not correct and out dated.

Love MagicGuide , but curious as to why some restaurants are missing. Where’s Wine Bsr George and WolfGang Puck’s from Disney Springs? There’s a few others too, but I don’t believe MagicGuide is updated as much as it should be in comparison to others that are out there.

I used to LOVE MagicGuide and I still like it with the exception of how they list the wait times. They used to list them by area in the park such as fantasyland, tomorrow land etc. they are now listed in alphabetical order. It was much easier to navigate the old way especially when you are IN the park. Please change it back!!!!!

Just back from a trip to Disney and found that most menus here are months out of date. Not only with food items but even as to what meals are served. Showed up at restaurant in Animal Kingdom that supposedly serves breakfast to find out they stopped mo this ago!

The wait times on MagicGuide were completely inaccurate and it was a real disappointment. Rides that were closed had listed wait times and rides that were open had wrong wait times. The map and the ride descriptions and the dining features were good.

I use MagicGuide mainly for quick food references. The only thing I would change would be to add and icon beside what’s a snack credit for the popular dinning plans!

I love MagicGuide! It's quick and easy to use when researching wait times and dining information.

MagicGuide is good because it tells you the wait times

by Joey Fam

MagicGuide is everything I need, nothing I don’t. Maps, menus, hours, and wait times. The sort of things I *want* to have readily on hand, without being annoying about everything else. I bought the premium version purely on principle because it was so helpful. 10/10, would recommend.

I’m going to Disney in a couple of days but my dad has MagicGuide and we’ve used it a lot to help us navigate around the parks and other things and I think it’s a really good app to help you navigate around to just find different things and stuff but you guys might think different because sometimes there might not be like cell reception some places and it will like glitch a little but MagicGuide doesn’t glitch it’s like the phone like saying hey I need Internet I need Internet please give me Internet but don’t worry it’s not the game I really think you should get the game I really like it I mean not the game I really think you should get MagicGuide I really like it and yeah so please please get it if you don’t want it not forcing you but I really suggest it and the people who made MagicGuide if you see this thank you for making MagicGuide.

I love going on the My Disney Experience app, finding out the posted wait times, then coming on MagicGuide and reporting my finds lol! (#WavesofDisney) I’ll definitely buy MagicGuide before our next Disney trip!

by Red Wordsmith

Lately the park hours listed have been wrong. I had family go to the parks and said the posted hours were different

by LinePiano

I was looking at Disney apps and found this. I didn’t know it could be this useful! I love how it labels everything, includes every ride! Wait... I actually love everything it does! It will be very useful for our next trip!

Dear Disney Imagineers and App Store people alike, I have a few suggestions to make.

1. Epcot’s Soundtrack
Epcot is very amazing. It is very futuristic, Disney historic, and is very popular. However, Epcot is getting an awesome major overhaul or refurbishment. But sadly, this does include the soundtrack. Please, Disney. Don’t change Epcot’s soundtrack. Many people love the soundtrack, including me.

2. Remy the Rat
Let me just say that everyone could cook. Even Remy. As I said before, Epcot is being refurbished and a new ride and restaurant will be added to the France pavilion. Please, Disney, add Remy the rat animatronic to his new home in the new restaurant and let him visit every table in the restaurant.

I use MagicGuide all the time in the parks. Maps of the parks make it easy to locate rides and wait times, restaurants with menus, Disney Springs shop locations and restaurant locations along with their menus. An invaluable tool for navigating Walt Disney World and Disney Springs.

Download My Disney Experience instead which has more features and is totally free. The wait times in Magic Guide are never correct and aside from being able to quickly find a bathroom it’s not worth paying for. Especially at 6.99.

You need to add Wine Bar George to the dining section. Otherwise I love MagicGuide . Easier to find menus and other info than the My Disney Experience app.

I original got MagicGuide since it is the only app that works on apple watch, but after The my disney experience update caused it to run really slow on my iphone 6, I used magic guide in the parks instead. It’s so much quicker and rides, restaurants, bathrooms and shows are all on the same map screen. The location feature worked really well in the parks.

Wow! I have found MagicGuide VERY useful...in both pre-trip planning and while in the parks. Invaluable when used in conjunction with the My Disney Experience app!
