Walt Disney World is preparing a major My Disney Experience app refresh with a redesigned home screen, a new Trip Checklist, easier plan sharing, AI-powered search, and Spanish-language support.
Disney outlined the changes during a media briefing for park reporters. The redesigned home screen is built around a guest's actual trip, with a countdown, resort reservation details, park information, and next-step prompts placed closer to the front of the app.
The Trip Checklist will organize common pre-arrival steps, including dining reservations, Lightning Lane selection timing, online check-in, tickets in a digital wallet, room assignments, and MagicBand customization. The checklist is supposed to adjust to the guest's trip instead of showing the same planning list to everyone.
Trip Party and AI Search Coming to My Disney Experience
Trip Party is the plan-sharing upgrade. Guests will be able to send a text link to a travel companion, who can sign in and join the trip without the current email-and-managed-guest setup.
AI-powered search is also coming to the app. Disney demonstrated food and attraction queries during the briefing, including searches meant to return a direct answer instead of a scattered list of app pages.
Spanish-language support is planned for My Disney Experience, too. Walt Disney World gets the new app work first, with Disneyland following later this year. Disney has not announced exact launch dates for each feature.
