New iTunes Apps for Disneyland and Walt Disney World

New iTunes Apps for Disneyland and Walt Disney World

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.

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.

Disney to Film Movie about Tomorrowland

Disney to Film Movie about Tomorrowland

Here is an interesting rumor I read on Sci Fi Wire this morning.  Rumor has it that Disney is creating a movie entitled Tomorrowland, which will be inspired by the Tomorrowland section found in Disney theme parks.  Supposedly, the movie will star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Disney is denying the rumors related to the movie’s title or setting but not the fact that there is an original script they’re working from – no details provided. 
We’ll have to wait and see if there is any truth to the rumor or not.  What do you think?
