My Favorite Apps for a Disney World Vacation

To have the most enjoyable Disney experience, it is important to use all available resources.  For me, downloading free apps helped me plan my Fastpass+ Reservations (and easily edit them), make reservations, monitor the lengths of lines, and look at interactive maps of the parks.  Connecting to the free Disney wifi allowed me to use the apps without draining my battery during the day at the park.



1. My Disney Experience



The My Disney Experience app was by far the most useful app on my iPhone; I used this to modify Fastpass+ reservations, make lunch and dinner reservations, check wait times, and look at park maps.  One of the best features was with the Fastpass+ system.  When my family used up our three original reservations, I quickly logged onto the app and searched for other open Fastpass options for us. 

2. WDW Lines


The Lines app by Touring Plans is great for monitoring the length of lines around the park.  This app definitely works better if you have paid to use their planning services (yes, it was worth the money), but even id you haven't bought it you can use its basic features.  They have their own algorithm and i found that their estimated waiting times tended to be more accurate than the ones on the My Disney Experience app.  Also, this app showed the posted wait time along with the actual wait time and if there were any Fastpasses left for the rest of the day.  

Touring Plans is an amazing website, definitely check them out here.

3.  Wait Times for Disney World


This app is a bit less sophisticated than the other two, but I still used it on my trip to Disney World.  It showed a list of the posted wait times for each attraction at each park.  Categorized by park, it was easy to navigate and see the times for each attraction at the same time.  The downside is that the app relies on park guests to submit wait times so it was not always the most accurate guide for wait times.  

I hope these apps are helpful to you on your next trip.

Stay Magical

Typhoon Lagoon vs Blizzard Beach

How to Choose the Right Water Park for Your Family The two water parks at Disney World in Florida are amazing, but chances are you will only have time to visit one of the two parks on your vacation.  This post is designed to make comparing the water parks easier. THEME To begin with, the water parks have radically different themes.  Typhoon Lagoon is designed to resemble a Florida town hit by a typhoon, with the 'Miss Tilly' boat perched at the top of Mount Mayday.  It is a more classic theme, with island music and a laid-back surf shack-esque vibe.  Blizzard Beach is less traditional and the background story is that a freak snowstorm hit Florida and a ski resort was created.  After all of the snow melted, Blizzard Beach was created and you can still see snow-covered buildings and snow themed attractions.  In addition, Christmas music is played all around the park. ATTRACTIONS -Lazy River: Both parks have a lazy river that loops around the park. ...

Disney is so magical and enchanting, but planning a trip to Disney World can be stressful if you don't know all of the little tips and tricks.  I started this blog to share all of My Disney Secrets with y'all.   I have been to Disney World in Florida almost a dozen times; the first time I went I was only four years old.  I remember when Hollywood Studios was called MGM and when you had to run around the park to get your fastpasses for the rides.  So much has changed and Disney will continue to evolve.   I really do hope this blog can serve as a guide when planning your next trip to Disney World.  I can guarantee that all of the effort you put into planning this vacation will pay off- saving you time and saving you from stressing out too much.   Stay Magical
