Hi Claire, welcome to planDisney.
It sounds like your after some information on
My Disney Experience. It may feel overwhelming at first as it's like having entire Walt Disney World Filofax (remember those?) of information at your fingertips. Rest assured, even for a relative technophobe like me, My Disney Experience is super intuitive.
Helpful resources are available online that will walk you through everything - please allow me to highlight my top three favourite functions in My Disney Experience.
Personal In-Park GuideThink of the App as your own personal guide to the magic. Need to know how to get from where you are to your next ride? Use the in-park navigation feature. Up-to-date attraction wait times and show times all help you to make the most of your day at Walt Disney World.
Mobile food and beverage orderLet's say you're in a ride queue and begin feeling a little peckish. Open up the My Disney Experience App to find delectable dining, and select (and customise) your order, all from the attraction queue, saving you time when the ride is finished.
Virtual QueuesWe all want to experience the latest and greatest rides at Walt Disney World, which means TRON Lightcycle / Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. The latter is one of my favourite rides of all time. On the morning of your visit, hop on to My Disney Experience at 7am sharp to nap a virtual queue for these rides.
There is so much more that My Disney Experience offers, from being your
room key at your Disney Resort hotel to your ticket at the Parks with
Disney MagicMobile Service. I hope this information helps, Claire, but if you need anything further, please let me know. Have a magical day, Louise.
