UPinPoint.com created two new Disney iTunes apps that Disney travelers might want to get for their iPods.  The apps are just $0.99 each and can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store.
The Magic Kingdom Mini Guide and the Disneyland California Mini Guide are interactive and allow users to find restrooms, ride restrictions, quick navigation, useful information about attractions and dining, descriptions of attractions, FastPass attractions and more.
I haven’t tried either of these apps because I don’t have an iPod, but for $0.99, they might be worth it for Disney theme park novices to try.

The Power Rangers make several appearances each day outside of the Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show.  Five Power Rangers drive out from backstage in a cool Power Rangers car with …read more

If there was ever any doubt that the addition of Jack Sparrow to the Pirates of the Caribbean attractions in Disney theme parks might only be temporary, those questions have been answered.  Today, Disney announced that Johnny Depp will be back as the beloved Captain Jack Sparrow in a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
That’s not all Disney and Johnny Depp are working on together these days.  A new version of Alice in Wonderland will be created by Tim Burton with Johnny Depp in the role of the Mad Hatter.
