The Play Disney Parks mobile app was released last summer to give Walt Disney World and Disneyland guests something to do while they waited in lines for their favorite attractions. Featuring mini-games and trivia challenges, it aimed to enhance their visit, while hopefully making those 90+ minute queues a bit more bearable. With the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge in both parks, the app's received a major update, most notably a dedicated mode designed specifically to immerse you in the Outer Rim planet of Batuu.
