NEWS: The Disney World App Just Got a MAJOR Makeover!

If you’re a longtime DFB reader, there’s a good chance you’ve heard us harp on the importance of the My Disney Experience app, and at this point, you’re probably like “WE GET IT!” At the same time, though, you’re probably also a Disney World vacation PRO, which means you know exactly how difficult it’d be to do Disney World without the help of the app. (We tried that once for science, and it did not end well. )

It’s a super handy tool for some and a necessary evil for others, but no matter how you feel about it, you need to know about this huge CHANGE that just hit the app!

When we signed on to check on the Disney World app this morning, we noticed that things were looking a little different! The home screen still looks the same…

…but once you click over to your profile (the three stacked horizontal lines in the bottom menu), you’ll see some big changes. Previously, there were lots of these tiles, with options to see your tip board, Genie+ reservations, dining reservations, and more. Here’s what it looked like BEFORE:

And here’s what it looks like NOW:

Disney has seriously condensed this options menu, with just six tiles where before there were over a dozen. Many of the options that were previously in that tile menu have moved down to a few different lists. One of the lists is “My Visit,” which has your hotel reservations, virtual queue information, and other essentials for your trip. “Disney PhotoPass” has all things photos…

…“Getting Around” includes options related to transportation, and “Plan Your Next Visit” has tickets and passes, Park Pass Reservation information, and Park Hours and Info.

The next list is “Disney Account,” with info about our profile, linking to other accounts, MagicMobile, and MagicBands. Finally, “Help & Feedback” is where you’ll find FAQs, Cast Compliments, Health Services, and Privacy & Legal info.

To get to your Tip Board, you can click the “Rides, Shows, and Lightning Lane Entry” tile, and it’ll bring up the normal tip board that you’re used to.

Mobile Order is still under “Order Food,” and online merchandise checkout can be found in the “Merchandise Checkout” tile. Another change is that you can now get to the Genie+ information and your Tip Board by clicking the little “+” button at the bottom of your screen (it’s the middle option in that bottom menu) and choosing “View My Genie Day and Tip Board.”

This isn’t the only change that Disney has been working on when it comes to the My Disney Experience app. They also just announced a major update for the dining reservation section of the app! You can read all about that here.
