Being that Twisney is not operating now, and I think everyone needs to be able to get information I found only 1 solution.

I am currently setting up everything so that when you go to Disney World you can use Twitter on your phone to get information about other peoples experiences, wait times, and more.

If you have a BlackBerry, you can use TwitterBerry.  Click HERE for a OTA version.

The Twitter address I have created is: http://twitter.com/DWupdates

Pass along the information, and let’s all enjoy what it may bring.
