Walt Disney World has announced several updates coming to the My Disney Experience app over the next few months. The changes focus on easier trip planning, clearer navigation, better search tools, and expanded language support.
A Redesigned Home Screen
The My Disney Experience app will get a refreshed home screen built around each guest’s trip. Instead of showing many features at once, the new layout will highlight the details most tied to an upcoming visit.
Guests can expect to see key trip information closer to the front of the app, including resort details, park plans, and planning tools. The goal is to make the app easier to use before and during a Walt Disney World vacation.
Trip Countdown and Trip Checklist
The updated app will include a trip countdown, giving guests a simple way to track how soon their vacation begins.
A new Trip Checklist will also guide guests through important planning steps. This may include reminders for dining reservations, Lightning Lane selections, online check-in, and adding tickets to a digital wallet.
The checklist is expected to adjust based on each guest’s trip details, making it easier to know what needs to be done and when.
Easier Trip Party Sharing
Disney is also working to simplify how guests share plans with family and friends.
The new Trip Party feature will let guests invite others to join their trip through a shared link, such as by text message. Once accepted, members of the group can view shared plans in the app.
This should make group planning easier, especially for families or larger travel parties managing dining, park days, and reservations together.
AI-Powered Search
The My Disney Experience app will add AI-powered search to help guests find answers faster.
Instead of only showing a list of search results, the updated search tool will provide a direct summary based on the guest’s question. This could help with common searches, such as finding food, attractions, entertainment, or services inside the parks.
Guests will still be able to explore more results if they need extra details.
Spanish Language Support
Spanish language support is also coming to the My Disney Experience app. This is a useful update for Spanish-speaking guests who use the app to plan and manage their Walt Disney World visit.
Disney has not confirmed whether more languages will be added later, but Spanish support is expected to be part of the upcoming rollout.
Rollout Timeline
The updates will roll out over the coming months rather than all at once. Walt Disney World will receive the changes first.
Disneyland is expected to receive similar updates later, though exact dates for each feature have not been announced.
Conclusion
The upcoming My Disney Experience app updates focus on making Disney World planning more direct and easier to manage. With a redesigned home screen, Trip Checklist, improved sharing, AI search, and Spanish support, the app should become more useful for guests planning their next visit.
