Walt Disney World has released an update to the My Disney Experience app, offering significant improvements to its map functionality. These changes aim to provide guests with a more intuitive and streamlined way to access park information, making trip planning and navigation simpler. Whether you’re a seasoned visitor or new to the parks, understanding these updates can help enhance your Disney experience.
Key Improvements to the Map Interface
The first noticeable change in the updated app is how information is presented on the map screen. Previously, filters—such as “Wait Times,” “Dining,” and “Attractions”—were tucked away in drop-down menus. With this update, these filters are now easily accessible in a horizontal scroll menu at the top of the screen.
Additional filters have also been made more visible. Instead of being hidden behind buttons, they now appear on a second horizontal scroll line below the primary filters. This layout ensures users can access relevant information quickly without switching between multiple screens.
Enhanced Filtering and Viewing Options
For more specific needs, the app now offers improved filtering features. For instance, if you want to filter options by park, such as narrowing dining categories to EPCOT, the app provides a dedicated dropdown menu. When selected, a dynamic card appears at the bottom of the screen, showing filtering options in an organized way.
Additionally, the update includes a list view for users who may prefer to see information in a vertical format. The list expands to a full screen for easier browsing and can be minimized with a single tap to return to the map view.
Benefits for Guests
These updates are particularly beneficial for guests looking to maximize their time in the parks. By bringing important information to the forefront, the app minimizes the need to search through menus and allows users to make decisions faster. Features like the map’s improved layout, clear filtering options, and easy toggles make the overall app experience smoother.
A Streamlined Planning Tool
With these enhancements, the My Disney Experience app solidifies itself as an essential planning tool for Walt Disney World visitors. From checking attraction wait times to locating dining options, the app now offers a more direct approach to accessing the information you need for your day in the parks.
Conclusion
Whether you’re checking out wait times, finding your next meal, or simply navigating the parks, this update ensures that all the details are a swipe away. These updates demonstrate the benefits of leveraging technology for a better vacation experience, helping guests make the most of their time at Walt Disney World.
