I'm adding this to my existing Disney info thread as there's nothing here suited to adding to the WCC unfortunately, however this may be of interest to some users.

pocketDisney (http://www.pocketdisney.com) has a feature called MouseMaps which are maps and general info of the parks at Walt Disney World for use on a PDA. Unfortunately these are only available as downloads. There are two styles of downloads -- Pocket PC and iSilo. As I do not have iSilo I cannot comment on what those downloads contain or look like. I downloaded the Pocket PC versions because the instructions indicated they were straight HTML. As it turns out, they are... but they're downloaded as a Windows executable which then decompresses the files into a directory. Once decompressed you can easily pluck them. I plucked them at a depth of 3 and all seems well.

These seem like they would be most useful only if you grab them just prior to a trip to WDW, since attractions and restaurants have been known to change. There's also a schedule of park hours and events available which only runs a few months out.
