If you have ever visited Disney World or have plans to visit Disney World, you’re probably familiar with the My Disney Experience app, which lets you do just about…well…everything you need to do in Disney World.
My Disney Experience App
The app can let you check into your hotel, act as your room key, book your Lightning Lanes, give you wait time information, give you entertainment schedules, and SO much more. Well, the My Disney Experience app is about to get even MORE helpful for Disney World trip planning.
According to Scott Gustin, Disney will be rolling out some new app and website updates over the next few weeks and months to take some of the stress out of Disney World vacation planning. These updates will include a trip checklist, an AI-powered search, and updated booking tools.
Magic Kingdom
The idea is to make planning a Disney World trip easier, as well as making booking a trip easier, and helping you be more prepared before you ever set foot on Disney World property. Disney executives spoke about these changes and how they’re coming after listening to guest feedback, especially around difficulties guests experience when trying to navigate the My Disney Experience app.
EPCOT
Disney recently combined “Today’s Plans” and “Future Plans” into a single “My Plans” section on the app. You can also now make park pass reservations directly within the app. Disney has also updated the dining reservations search so that it’s easier to find a restaurant and make a reservation. Checking into your hotel via the app has also become more streamlined.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Now, the app will get a redesigned home page so that it’s easier to find the information you’re looking for, like your trip details, reservations, travel parties, and planning reminders. The homepage will be organized more around your actual vacation. A new trip checklist feature will keep you from forgetting things like Lightning Lane booking windows, dining reservations, hotel check-in, and more. The app’s search feature will be improved via AI. Disney also plans on making trip sharing a lot easier.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
DisneyWorld.com will also be getting similar updates, including flexible date searching for bigger timeframes, calendars that let you compare pricing, tools to compare hotels, transportation information, estimated travel time to parks, and more.
We’ll be keeping an eye out for these updates and let you know when they arrive, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

THE ONLY STRESS I FEEL ABOUT A DISNEY VACATION IS THAT MY FAMILY AND I CANNOT AFFORD IT ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THE DISNEY GREED, GREED, GREED. I AM NOT SAYING THIS AS A ONE TIME DISNEY GUEST. I AM SAYING THIS AS A 33 TIME DISNEY GUEST. MY FAMILY AND I ( NINE PEOPLE) ARE NOT GOING BACK TO DISNEY EVER AGAIN. AS RECENTLY AS 2019, THE FREE DISNEY WRIST BAND WAS ALL MY FAMILY NEEDED TO ENJOY OURSELVES IN THE PARK, AND THE TOTAL COST WAS WONDERFUL. GOODBYE DISNEY. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE RICH PEOPLE.
