You can even pick the theme of your app! Princess & the Frog, Toy Story, Cars and Fairies are just some of the choices for the app’s theme.
Another fun and free app is Radio Disney, which streams music and tells you the last 10 songs played.
There’s also the free Disney Channel Cover Styler app, which turns you into the star of your own magazine with your own photo. Strike a pose and glam it up!
And don’t forget to check out the brand new Tron app, just released by Disney!
But There’s More…
There’s another world altogether of apps for traveling to Walt Disney World and Disneyland. Some are free, but others can run up to $5.99 or more. Some apps provide attraction wait times, while others offer maps, or store your travel information and dining reservations. You can even get weather for the Orlando and Anaheim Disney parks. No official Disney World or Disneyland apps are available yet for the iTunes store, but Disney Parks has released an official Verizon app.
And with word this month that Disney has acquired Tapulous, the Palo Alto, California-based maker of popular Apple mobile games, there should be plenty more Disney games and apps for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users to enjoy in the future.
