Disney toying with the idea of using DS as guide map?

According to a report from wdmagic, family-entertainment kingpin Disney is tossing around an idea in its offices where Nintendo's DS handheld will be used in a more permanent capacity (not just as some movie tie-in), much as it's become accustomed to being used in other areas of the world . We imagine any solution Disney could come up with would be much like the museum guide software in Japan, only riddled with more advertisements for That's So Raven.Still, the idea isn't without its merit and deserving of recognition. It's a willingness to acknowledge how much a small gadget has affected culture. You know, what with the millions and millions of people who have at least one in their household. Most families this blogger comes in contact with usually enjoy multiple units for their multiple children.

Is that the UCSB UCEN help desk?

That sounds like an excellent idea. And if somehow they could send the software like those demo download stations, it'd be convenient too.

Just prepare for an endless loop of It's a Small World.

You know why Disney is doing this, because of Japanese tourist. They are everywhere and since the DS is selling like crazy in Japan, it would be great for those Japanese tourist to get info in Japanese maybe, without a tour guide.
