Disney World in Orlando is currently expanding into “Fantasyland”, and href="http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2011/08/imagineers-use-innovative-technology-to-build-new-fantasyland/">the Imagineers are using iPads to help plan and execute the construction. They’re using it to put together plans, conference, spot problems in the field, and just about anything else you can imagine.

It sounds like they use href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/webex-for-ipad/id364031971">WebEx for their meetings, which allows them to instantly contact people, pull them all into a meeting, and share footage from the camera — so you can show how things are going, live, from the field.

Given that Pixar is a part of Disney and Steve Jobs is still a honcho at Pixar, I’m surprised there isn’t even more iOS integration with the Magic Kingdom!
