Countdown for Disney App Information, FAQs, and Contact Info
Our Countdown for Disney app has been around for a little while now. We’re always looking for ways to improve it and we welcome suggestions! We only ask that if there is an issue that we are contacted so we can help figure out the problem.
Update: New Weather Features Added to Countdown for Disney App
We have added some new features to the Countdown for Disney app and we hope you will find them useful. Now you can check the radar over Disney World and we have added Weather History so you can see what last year’s weather was like for the week you are going to be in Disney World.
Countdown for Disney App: Updated Weather Feature
The latest update to the Countdown for Disney app is available. This update addresses an issue we have been trying to fix for a while now.
New Update for Countdown App
A new update was released yesterday for the countdown app. In this release we added somethings to the information section.
Screen Issue Fixed on Countdown to Disney App
The fix for the screen size issue has finally been approved by Apple. Sorry for the delay and inconvenience.
We will have more update with additional features coming soon and will keep you posted when those updates are available.
Countdown to Disney Screen Fix
Just wanted to write a quick note to let those with the Countdown to Disney app know that we are aware of the screen issue. Something in the latest update messed with the screen display (the screen height has been reduced) and we have submitted a fix for review. It’s just waiting to be approved by Apple.
New Disney Countdown App from Main Street Wishes
Main Street Wishes, along with our friends at Bit3 Computing, have created a fun countdown app for your Disney trip. Right now the app is only available on iPhones, but we are working to get it into the Android market as well.
The name of the app is Disney Countdown, easy to remember. Our app has a picture of fireworks for the thumbnail. We did find a bug when it was approved for the App Store, it crashes on iPhones running IOS7, but that has been fixed and is waiting for approval from Apple already. I will post an update when it has been approved. If you are using IOS8 you will be fine and it works on iPads too.
The original download of the app is free. If you would like the additional features that are available it’s just .99.
Features with the free version:
- Countdown to your Disney World trip
- Choice of 15 Disney World pictures for backgrounds
- Ability to randomize the background pictures
Features with the .99 in app purchase:
- Countdown to your Disney World trip
- Choice of 15 Disney World pictures for backgrounds
- Ability to randomize the background pictures
- Ability to download your own pictures to use as a background
- Ability to delete original pictures from the background choices
- Tips for Disney World
- Notifications of important things to remember for your trip
- Choice of badge on app representing the number of days left or notifications
- Ability to turn notifications off
- Ability to turn tips off
We had so much fun creating this app and worked very hard on it. All the pictures that are available for the background were taken by Main Street Wishes and there are even pictures of things that have disappeared from Disney World. We have pictures of the Sorcerer’s Hat, Mickey’s house in Toontown (now New Fantasyland), and the waterfall that used to be in the lobby of the Polynesian available as background choices.
You can use this app for a trip that you have already booked or even for a trip you are just dreaming about at the moment. Either way it’s fun to have a Disney countdown on your phone!
If you’re like me, you love to look at Disney pictures and that’s why I have mine set to randomize 🙂 Another suggestion for a background photo (if you decide to make the in app purchase) you can take a picture of yourself or your kids in your favorite Disney gear. That would be a fun background picture!

I hope you enjoy it and it adds to the fun of your countdown to your next trip! Suggestions are always welcome, so if there is something you would like to see available in another version let us know in the comments or you can send me an email.
I hope you enjoy the app!
Thanks for reading!
