I have been thinking about getting your DFB guide. Would I need 2 as I use my computer more than my phone and when I go to Disneyworld I would obviously use my phone How would i know if there is enough room on my phone
Ann, I’m not sure how much memory the Guide takes up on a phone; I do know that on an Apple device, it opens as a PDF in the Books app. As for needing more than one copy: you receive nine downloads with your purchase, so you could absolutely download it on your computer and your phone with no issue.
