Steamboat Wesley Terms & Conditions
Effective Date: September 5, 2026
Welcome to Steamboat Wesley, a community app for Disney fans to share posts, read park stories, message other members, and collect Hidden Mouse finds. By accessing or using Steamboat Wesley, you agree to these Terms & Conditions.
Steamboat Wesley is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to The Walt Disney Company, Walt Disney World Resort, or any Disney entity. Disney names, parks, attractions, characters, and related trademarks belong to their respective owners and are referenced for community and informational purposes only.
1. Who may use the app
You may use Steamboat Wesley only if you can legally agree to these Terms. You are responsible for the information and content you provide through your account.
If you are under the age required to consent to online services in your jurisdiction, you may use the app only with permission from a parent or legal guardian. Location-based features are intended for adults and may be limited or unavailable for minor users.
2. Your account
You are responsible for keeping your account secure and for all activity that occurs through your account. You agree to provide accurate profile information and not impersonate another person, Disney cast member, public figure, brand, or organization.
You may update your profile, display name, avatar, cover photo, social links, direct-message preferences, and other account settings where available.
3. Community features
The app may include feeds, posts, comments, likes, profiles, public profile pages, channels/groups, blogs, direct messages, notifications, Hidden Mouse collections, map features, and related interactive tools.
You agree not to use the app to:
- Harass, threaten, bully, shame, stalk, or target another person.
- Post hate speech, sexual content involving minors, exploitative content, graphic violence, illegal content, or harmful instructions.
- Share another person’s private information without permission.
- Upload photos of people where doing so violates privacy, publicity, venue rules, or applicable law.
- Spam, scrape, reverse engineer, disrupt, or misuse the app.
- Create fake engagement, manipulate counts, abuse reports, or evade moderation.
- Violate Disney park rules, venue rules, or applicable law while using the app.
We may remove content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or delete accounts when we believe these Terms or community safety standards have been violated.
4. User content
You retain ownership of photos, posts, comments, messages, Hidden Mouse logs, profile information, and other content you submit.
By submitting content, you give Steamboat Wesley a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, display, reproduce, resize, moderate, and share that content as needed to operate and improve the app. This includes showing your posts in feeds, showing Hidden Mouse captures in your collections and community areas, and displaying your public profile information.
You are responsible for making sure you have the rights and permissions needed for anything you upload or share.
5. Hidden Mouse collections and maps
Users can log Hidden Mouse finds into collections, including park/resort collections and “Beyond the Bubble” for finds outside Disney.
For ordinary park/resort captures, the app may request or store optional location information if the user or device allows it. For “Beyond the Bubble” captures, the app is designed not to request or store GPS coordinates for that capture.
Map and location features are for entertainment and community discovery only. They may be incomplete, inaccurate, delayed, or unavailable. Do not rely on the app for navigation, safety, emergencies, or park operations.
6. Direct messages and notifications
The app may allow users to send direct messages and receive in-app, email, or push notifications. You can manage some message and notification preferences in settings or through device/browser controls.
Do not use messages or notifications to harass, spam, threaten, solicit, or share unsafe content.
Email newsletter
During sign-up you may choose to receive our email newsletter. This is optional and is not required to use the app. If you opt in, your email address is added to our newsletter list on Substack, which delivers the newsletter on our behalf and is also subject to Substack's own terms and privacy policy.
You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in any newsletter email, or by contacting us at the address below. Unsubscribing from the newsletter does not close your Steamboat Wesley account, and it does not stop essential account or safety messages.
Promotional push notifications
If you enable push notifications, we may occasionally send announcements about the community, live streams, blog posts, or app features alongside activity notifications. You can turn push notifications off at any time through your device or browser notification settings.
7. Blog, guides, and community information
Blog posts, park tips, guides, stories, comments, and community content are provided for general entertainment and informational purposes. They may not be accurate, current, complete, or endorsed by Disney or any venue.
8. Merchandise and shop features
The app may display merchandise or shop-style content. Product availability, pricing, descriptions, fulfillment, returns, taxes, and shipping details may change. Any purchase-related terms shown at checkout or by a payment/fulfillment provider also apply.
9. Intellectual property
Steamboat Wesley’s branding, design, text, code, original graphics, non-user content, and app structure belong to Steamboat Wesley or its licensors. You may not copy, resell, reproduce, or create derivative works from the app except as allowed by law or with written permission.
Disney-related names and references belong to Disney and are not owned by Steamboat Wesley.
10. Reporting and moderation
You may report content, profiles, comments, messages, or other activity that appears to violate these Terms. We may review reports and take action at our discretion.
For urgent safety concerns or illegal activity, contact appropriate authorities. The app is not a replacement for emergency services.
11. Account deletion
You may request or trigger account deletion where available in settings. Deletion may remove or anonymize account data, posts, comments, messages, finds, likes, and profile information, subject to technical limits, legal obligations, safety requirements, backups, and records needed to prevent abuse.
12. Third-party services
The app may use third-party services for hosting, authentication, file storage, maps, GIF search, push notifications, content tools, analytics, communications, payments, integrations, or other app functions. Your use of those services may also be subject to their terms and policies.
13. No warranties
The app is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not guarantee that the app will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, accurate, or available at all times.
14. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, Steamboat Wesley and its owners, operators, contributors, and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive, or lost-profit damages arising from your use of the app.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we may update the effective date, post the new version in the app, or provide other notice. Continued use of the app after changes means you accept the updated Terms.
16. Contact
Questions about these Terms may be sent to:

These Terms are a practical operating policy for the app and should be reviewed by a qualified attorney before relying on them as legal advice.
