Walt Disney World Testing Out Nintendo DS Park Guide Software

Ah, Walt Disney World has figured out how to combine two of my passions into one helpful package: video gaming and my unnatural obsession with all things Disney! (And really, how much more gay/geeky can you get than that?)

Walt Disney World is starting a trial of a new piece of software you can download to your Nintendo DS, called the Disney Magic Connection that will give you a fully interactive park guide in your pocket, including a "you are here" function in its built in park map (probably using WiFi access point locating.)

WDWmagic has a full scan of the instruction guide for the software, but stand out features include the ability to tell you parade times, give you information on all the attractions at the park, letting you build a wish list of all the things you want to visit, and it even gives you themed games to play at each ride when you're waiting in line!

While I'm enough of a Disney freak to know the WDW parks like the back of my hand (I drive up to Orlando every once in a while), the games and event/parade times are awesome to have in your pocket. Now they just need to add Disney Fast Pass integration and this would enable anyone with a DS to be the ultimate WDW park explorer.
