Disney World testing Nintendo DS tour guides

[Joshawott 7]

The Walt Disney World resort is currently testing the use of the Nintendo DS as a Wi-Fi-enabled interactive guide, map and informational tool for guests attending the park.

------

The software is transmitted to park-goers via the download play function of the Nintendo DS. The details were provided through by members of the WDWMagic via an instructional pamphlet, which we have mirrored here.

WDWMagic poster SewIn2Disney recently participated in the testing and brought back several details, including an interactive map and a character checklist.

This lastest non-traditional application of the DS comes as part of Nintendo's recently announced intention to expand the handheld's practical, non-gaming functionality. Previously, Nintendo had introduced tour guide service for the DS in certain Japanese museums as well as Seattle's Safeco Field, where fans equipped with a DS can use the portable system to watch replays, order food and drinks, and browse scores and trivia.

Nintendo was reached for comment, but has not responded as of this writing.
