01.15.08

Starting today and the next 10 days, the Imagineers will actually be field testing a device like the one I just described at Walt Disney World. Known as the “Disney Magic Connection,” WDI R & D hopes that this hand-held, wireless unit (which runs on a Nintendo DS ) will be the next big technological breakthrough at the Disney theme parks.

As to what else the “Disney Magic Connection” can do, I’m told that this wireless device (Which — according to the literature that I’ve been shown — is designed to help ” … Guests make the most of their visit to the Park”) will feature:

* Show schedules
* Parade routes
* Interactive maps which reveal the location of rides, shows and attractions, restaurants, restrooms, etc.
