Disney World's My Disney Experience app to get new Car Locator functionality

Jul 11, 2022 in "MyMagic+"

Posted: Monday July 11, 2022 2:24pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Walt Disney World's My Disney Experience app will soon include a car locator feature to help guests locate their car at the theme park parking lots.

 

To get started, guests will access the car locator option from the app menu, which will prompt the user to enter parking details manually or use location services to log the parking location automatically.

Many mobile devices already offer this functionality, with Apple having offered this feature for several years, including automatically logging parking locations and offering directions back to the parked car within Apple Maps.

Although already available for most people, this new feature in My Disney Experience may help some guests unaware of their device's capabilities.

The feature will be available at all four Walt Disney World theme parks, Disney Springs, Disney Water Parks, and the ESPN Wide World of Sports.

Totally useless. Takes too long to setup. Just to go your maps app. On IPhone it already knows where your car is and you can easily follow the walking directions. (I'm not stupid. I still take a picture of the sign or pavement marking of the area my car is in.)

It is interesting that the site/app still says that guests with disabilities that are able to walk short distances should park in the main lots and use the trams to get to the front of the park. Especially since the trams are not running at all parks.

I think it’s a good idea. I just took a pic of end of row. I’ll try this at least once to see if it has more success than “Now you can open your resort door with your phone”

With a new update to MDE (7.11), the Car Locator is live. If you don't enable Location Services, you are also able to manually enter the parking information by choosing the parking location, lot/garage and row-

Another sneaky way to get guests to turn on location services before they enter the parks... Very Clever, Mrs Estherhouse!
