Disney is currently testing using a Nintendo DS as a interactive guide in the parks. Guests get a cartridge that contains the information and software from the park. The Disney system is fully GPS enabled and knows where you are located and displays a visual map and character locater. Like Pal Mickey, the system shows trivia, ride information and queue times.

OMG!!! That is awesome!!! I now have an even stronger reason to get a Nintendo DS. My wife didn’t find the ability to play the Super Mario games to be a strong enough reason. I am going down there in June and I hope it is up and running by then. YAY!!!!
