We took Boy Wonder to Disneyland for the first time when he was 3 years old. He had but one goal in mind that day, to meet Mickey Mouse.
Now as you know Mickey Mouse is a pretty famous dude – err, mouse and children from all over the world flock to Disneyland to meet him in person. Although we were Orange County locals, we were there to meet him too and it was going to be grand.
Now maybe my husband and I didn’t know what we were doing (wouldn’t be the first time), but we had no idea where to find Mickey Mouse. We scoured Toon Town, perused Mickey’s house and yet he was nowhere to be found. Disneyland autograph book and jumbo Mickey pen in hand, Boy Wonder patiently followed his clueless parents as we traipsed all over Disneyland looking for the mouse in charge. While we were lucky enough to have a chance encounter with Pluto and Winnie the Pooh, we unfortunately left that day without Mickey’s autograph.
Today things are different; we have the closest thing to our very own “mouseketool” with Verizon’s free Disney Mobile Magic app! Aside from all the absolutely amazing things this app can do to maximize the magic on your Disney park adventure, the app provides you with a list of schedule and location information for all your favorite beloved characters! Oh, if only we the Disney Mobile Magic app back when!
Today finding Mickey (or any of your favorite Disney characters) is as easy as 1 – 2- 3! Let me show you how!

Characters
Let’s go on a hunt to find our favorite Disney characters! The moment you open Verizon’s Disney Mobile Magic app, you’ll see this screen. Select "Characters" as I've so cleverly marked with a red push pin.
-
Today's Character Greetings
Sure, we’re on a hunt for Mickey but it’s pretty cool to see who else is out and about and when so I select "Today's Character Greetings".
-
There's Mickey!
The list of beloved Disney characters available to meet and greet is long (we love that!), but I've selected the big mouse himself.
-
Map it
Now I can map the location to Mickey Mouse who just so happens to be at his home in Toon Town today from 10am to 8:15pm!

This will tie in very well to my Disney princess avoidance scheme. Just kidding, but I would love my girls to branch out with a few of the classic characters too. The character tracker app sounds like it will make our trip much easier–thanks!
