Disney's widely popular Play Disney Parks App has been updated to feature two new interactive games inspired by its Splash Mountain and Epcot’s World Showcase Walt Disney World Resort locations. "Guests can now play a series of mini-games themed to the thrilling log-flume adventure of Splash Mountain in Magic Kingdom and create personalized souvenirs as part of Kidcot Fun Stop at World Showcase in Epcot."
In addition to cutting down wait time while in line for various rides and attraction, the games also help players unlock fun freebies like collectible photo frames. In particular, World Showcase in Epcot guests can scan various spots within the park to collect special codes. Once accessed, the codes unlock collectible in-app frames that can add to photos taken during one's park adventure, adding an even more personal touch to visits.
