UPDATE: September 15: The Play Disney Parks app is scheduled to be removed from app stores on September 16, 2026, and sign-in will end that day. Guests who want to access saved achievements should open the app before the deadline.
The shutdown closes several interactive experiences built around the app at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
Star Wars: Datapad Closes With the App
Star Wars: Datapad will retire on September 16. The Galaxy's Edge game lets guests hack droids, scan cargo crates, translate signs and take missions around Black Spire Outpost at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disneyland Park.
Batuu Bounty Hunters will remain available through MagicBand+ and the screens installed around the land. The phone component in Play Disney Parks will stop working. MagicBand+ interactions outside the app, including the Fab 50 statue interactions, will continue.
DuckTales and Queue Games Face Unanswered Questions
The app also powers DuckTales World Showcase Adventure at EPCOT, attraction queue games, parks trivia and digital achievements. The future of those features remains unresolved.
DuckTales World Showcase Adventure is currently unavailable for refurbishment. Its future date and any replacement remain unknown.
Play Disney Parks Launched in 2018
Play Disney Parks debuted in 2018 with games, trivia, music and achievements built around the physical parks. Disney later expanded it with the Galaxy's Edge Datapad, DuckTales World Showcase Adventure and MagicBand+ activities.
