10 things you might not know you can do in the My Disney Experience app 👇
1. Save Disney Gift Cards under Payment Info
No more re-entering the gift card number every time you want to use it.
2. Set your Lightning Lane Top Picks ahead of time
Choose the attractions that matter most to you before your booking day so they’re easier to find when it’s time to make selections.
3. See your Lightning Lanes + dining reservations on the map
View your plans geographically so you can see where everything is and avoid crisscrossing the park all day.
4. Find your parked car
Use Car Locator to save where you parked so you’re not wandering the parking lot at the end of a long park day.
5. See Disney bus times
If you’re staying at a Disney Resort, you can check estimated bus arrival times right in the app.
6. Join a restaurant walk-up list
No dining reservation? Check for walk-up availability at participating table-service restaurants right from your phone.
7. Use Merchandise Mobile Checkout
At participating stores, scan your items and pay through the app instead of waiting in the regular checkout line.
8. Unlock your Disney Resort room with your phone
Your phone can act as a digital room key if you don’t have your MagicBand or Key to the World card handy.
9. Get walking directions
Use the app to help navigate from where you are to attractions, dining, shops and more.
10. Find more than just rides on the map
Filter the map to find bathrooms, PhotoPass photographers, Guest Relations, lockers, transportation, shops and more.
