Speaking of which.... Did y'all know Disney now has a cell phone service? I was just looking on the Disney website and there it was!

I have no idea which is better, but I sure hope everyone says cell phones because I just two weeks ago bit the bullet and finally invested in getting one! Of course, now I see the Disney ones and want them! ARGGGH! Two year contract less than a month old!

Yes, I was "coveting" the Disney cell phone too and Alan said, "no way" *snif* Oh, well! LOL


We've only used cell phones in the park (uh, and the resorts! LOL) and haven't had a problem.

I don't know if they're better, but I think cell phones are easier. My dh and I always have ours on us, they are always on, and they ring AND vibrate, so it's doubtful we'd miss a call. Our cell service was fine in the parks (we have Cingular) and we have free cell to cell calling, so it worked out great!

I would definitely do cells, we've tried two way radios and like pp said, ended up with other people on our channel all the time.

Cell phones, set to VIBRATE in your pocket, you will not hear it ring!

Just remember to turn them off or to vibrate when you go in a show or you'll be grabbing wildly through your bag like I did to shut it off.
