An article I found from by Steven Sande who reviews all the various iPhone apps:

My wife and I are unabashed Disneyphiles, so the last two months have been a lot of fun. After my wife taught a tutorial in L.A. last month, we spent a few days at the West Coast properties — Disneyland and California Adventure. This month, we had some Disney Vacation Club points left over, so we spent five days at our “home” resort near Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Epcot, the Magic Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

I thought these trips would be a perfect opportunity to try out some of the many travel apps that have sprung up for the iPhone, all of which purport to be the solution to all of your Disney dining, lodging, and theme park information needs. As with any genre of app, there are a mixture of good and bad apps available. Since the Thanksgiving holiday weekend is generally a big time to visit the parks, here’s a quick tour of a few of the apps that my wife and I used on our trips so you can load up your iPhone if you’re going to visit The Mouse over the holidays.

While we were at the Disneyland Resort in October, I used an app from MediaLAB, Inc. called the Disneyland iGuide – Walkee [US$2.99, iTunes Link]. The UI on this app is great; after starting it up, you are presented with a ring of icons around a big blue button. Tapping each of the icons allows you to add certain items to your search criteria, while tapping the blue button displays those search items on a colorful and rather whimsical map of Disneyland.
