It seems like there’s a handy app for almost everything these days. Thanks to technology, there’s even an app to enhance your Walt Disney World vacation. Available on the App Store, Google play or on the official Disney website, the My Disney Experience app is one you don’t want to leave home without.
Set an Itinerary
One of the main features of the My Disney Experience app is the ability to plan out practically every aspect of your vacation. Use it to create a magical itinerary of activities and events for each day of the trip. The app also allows you to make Genie+ as well as DAS reservations right from the app.
Once you establish this itinerary, it’s super easy to share it with the other members of your party, enabling everyone to stay on the same page (or close to it) during your adventure.
Manage Your Tickets and Hotel Reservations
When you use the My Disney Experience app, there’s no need to worry about losing important paperwork on the way to your favorite Disney park. The app makes it easy to manage things like tickets, resort reservations and more. You can actually use it to buy admission tickets right on your phone!
Never Get Lost
Walt Disney World covers a lot of ground. It’s not terribly difficult to get lost. Who wants to spend time wandering around aimlessly on vacation, right?
The app features an interactive map that’s GPS-enabled. It’s capable of pointing you toward nearby attractions, guest service stations and restaurants… just to name a few. Try it when you need step-by-step directions to a specific spot in the park. Finding your way through the crowd has never been so simple.
Avoid Waiting in Line
One of the worst aspects of Walt Disney World (or any other Disney park) is the fact you’re often required to wait in long lines. Fortunately, there’s a solution! Use the GPS function of the My Disney Experience app to quickly tell which areas of the park are more crowded than others.
For each attraction, this app provides the estimated wait time based on the number of guests already there in line. You can also use it to figure out the start time of shows, parades and fireworks so you don’t miss one single minute of the excitement.
Reserve Dining Experiences
The My Disney Experience app makes it simple to find the perfect dining experience for you and your family both while you’re planning your vacation and while you’re in the park. With it, you can browse the menus of various quick service and table service dining areas, to get an idea of the menu and atmosphere each one has to offer.
You can also make reservations to dine at table service locations directly from the app. Please keep in mind that reservations tend to sell out fast. So, in order to ensure you get the seats you want, it’s best to reserve your table or tables several months in advance.
A lot of post Covid protocols for quick service restaurants in all Disney Parks is mobile ordering. You then show your app to the hostess when it says your food is ready. You aren’t allowed to order at the kiosk. So having the app downloaded will keep you from feeling starved to death.
This is just a brief list of some of the features of the Disney My Experience app. It’s free to download and almost like taking your own personal travel agent with you on your magical vacation. Using it allows you to save tons of time and frustration. What could be better than that?
