    Hello! The new Lightning Lane update is now unsupported. Yes, our phones are older, but work well. Any chance that the My Disney Experience app is going to be updated to support all running systems?

    Hi, JJ!

    I am so glad you've stopped by planDisney with your Walt Disney World Resort planning question. It's wonderful to hear that you'll soon be visiting the Most Magical Place on Earth. 

    I am sorry to hear that the My Disney Experience mobile app isn't working for you since the latest update. I reached out to a helpful Cast Member and it appears that the current minimum device requirements to use the My Disney Experience mobile app are as follows:

    • iOS devices: Require iOS 15.0 and above
    • Android devices: Require Android 8.0 (Oreo) and above
    I was also told that devices that do not meet the minimum requirements can continue to use older versions of the app, but may experience slower app performance and will not receive any new features or updates. If your phone is currently running one of these operating systems, you may need to delete and reinstall the app in order to get it to update to the current version to purchase the Lightning Lane passes

    If you need further assistance, you can reach out to the My Disney Experience phone number listed on the assistance by phone page. As an additional option, perhaps you can borrow a phone or find an inexpensive model that will run one of these operating systems and can work on the Walt Disney World Resort Wi-Fi during your vacation.

    I hope you get it all worked out and have a magical vacation, JJ. If there is anything else we are able to assist you with, please let us know.

    Magical Wishes,

    Lauren

Meet the Panelist: Lauren, Colorado

Hi-ya, Pals! I'm Lauren, a wife and mother of three who's enjoyed many special occasions at Walt Disney World Resort with my family and friends. From graduations to birthdays, and even our Fairy Tale Honeymoon we’ve loved celebrating at the most Magical Place on Earth. I now have pre-teens who check wait times in the My Disney Experience App just for fun, so I look for any excuse to return "home" often and would love to help you plan a little extra Pixie Dust for your next magical adventure.
