Walt Disney World — live now

The cheat code
for the parks.

Park Alerts pings you the second a queue drops below your line — and reminds you when the show's about to start. No account. No ads. No tracking. Just the wait-time intel everyone else is missing.

The unfair advantage

Everyone else is reading the same
park map. You're reading the data.

A million people walk into Walt Disney World every week with the same official app and the same posted wait times. Park Alerts watches every queue and every showtime in the background — and pings you the moment your moment arrives. That's the edge.

Without Park Alerts

Refresh, walk, regret, repeat.

  • Open the official app every five minutes. See "85 min." Sigh.
  • Trek across the park to a "shorter" line that just spiked.
  • Miss the 12-minute window when Cosmic dropped — you weren't refreshing.
  • Realize halfway through Festival of Fantasy that you missed Festival of Fantasy.
  • Leave the park having ridden five things.
With Park Alerts

Set the alert. Ride the next thing. Wait for the ping.

  • Pick the rides you want. Set a threshold. Get a push the second one drops below it.
  • See today's wait against the typical-day curve — know when "60 min" is unusual.
  • Set a 15- or 30-minute reminder for fireworks, parades, and shows.
  • If your park is slammed, see where the short waits are at the other three right now.
  • Leave the park having ridden everything you wanted to.
The shape of it

A small edge, applied all day.

No gimmicks, no inflated numbers. Park Alerts is honest about what it is: better information, delivered the moment it changes, on a phone you don't have to keep refreshing.

How it works

Three taps, then go ride something else.

Set the alert and put your phone away. The app surfaces the moment.

01

Pick your rides and shows.

Browse all four WDW parks by land and category. Tap the bell on every headliner, dark ride, and character meet you actually want to do.

02

Set your moment.

Pick a wait threshold (15 to 90 minutes) for rides. Pick a 15- or 30-minute lead time for shows and fireworks. Done.

03

Get the ping.

The instant a ride drops below your threshold — or the showtime gets close — a soft sparkle lands on your lock screen. You decide what's next.

What's inside

Built for people who treat
park days as a problem to solve.

The headline feature

See the pattern, not just the number.

Every ride shows today's wait curve against its typical day. When a "60-minute wait" actually means "about to crash to 25" — you're the one who knows. Tomorrow's forecast curve is right there too, so you can plan the morning before you walk through the gate.

Smart alerts

Won't false-fire at rope drop.

Most "wait-time alerts" go off the second you walk into the park, when every queue reads zero. Park Alerts only fires when a ride actually drops from a real wait into a short one. Set Cosmic Rewind to 45 at 8 a.m. and the ping comes when 45 means something — not when the gates open.

Live shows & fireworks

Reminders for the things you'd otherwise miss.

Festival of Fantasy. Happily Ever After. Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. Pick a 15- or 30-minute lead time and you'll get a soft ping while there's still time to walk over. Reminders run on-device — no account, no server.

The daily recap

Tonight, tomorrow, and the hidden gem.

Each park's day at a glance: how busy it is right now, the peak wait of the day so far, the one short-line ride hiding in plain sight, and a one-line preview of tomorrow.

Tonight at MK Light · 2nd quietest
Peak wait so far 85 min · Tron
Hidden gem Peter Pan · 25 min
Tomorrow Heavier · early entry
Crowd escape hatch

If your park is slammed, the others might not be.

When every alert you've set is sitting at 70+, the dashboard surfaces the rides at other parks with short waits right now. Your park-hopper just got a brain.

Privacy-first

No account. No ads. No tracking IDs.

No email, no signup, no advertising IDs, no behavioral profiling. Location is never required. Anonymous usage analytics run through TelemetryDeck — EU-based, zero personal data.

Built for the day

Soft sparkle, not a siren.

Notifications are deliberately calm. One ping when it matters, silence when it doesn't. Wait alerts fire once and clear themselves out.

Inside & outside the park

Auto-detects where you are.

Drive onto property and the app jumps to whichever park you're closest to. Optional, on-device — turn it off and the manual park switcher is one tap away.

Live now

Walt Disney World — every ride, every show.

Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Every headliner, every dark ride, every kiddie spinner with a posted wait — plus character meets, parades, and nighttime spectaculars. All four parks, one tab away.

Questions

Things people ask before downloading.

Is Park Alerts affiliated with Disney?

No. Park Alerts is independent and not affiliated with The Walt Disney Company or any of its parks. Wait-time and schedule data come from ThemeParks.wiki, a public API used by third-party planners for years.

How accurate are the wait times?

As accurate as the park's posted waits. We don't guess and we don't crowdsource — if the park says 45 minutes, we say 45 minutes. The difference is when the queue moves: alerts fire within seconds of a wait change, not on the next polling interval.

What kinds of alerts can I set?

Two kinds. Wait-time alerts for rides and character meets — pick a threshold from 15 to 90 minutes and get a push the moment the queue drops below it. Show reminders for fireworks, parades, and live entertainment — pick 15 or 30 minutes of lead time, and a notification fires before showtime.

What parks are supported?

At launch: all four Walt Disney World theme parks — Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Disneyland (Anaheim) is up next, followed by Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood. We add new parks based on demand.

Will the alert false-fire at rope drop?

No. Park Alerts won't fire until the queue has spent some time above your threshold — meaning it's only a "drop" if there was a real wait first. The 8 a.m. zero-wait period won't trigger anything.

Do I need an account?

No. There's no signup, no login, no email required. Allow notifications, set your alerts, you're done.

Is it really free?

Yes. No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscription tier. If that ever changes we'll be loud and obvious about it — and existing alerts will keep working.

What about my privacy?

Alerts run on your device or via Apple's push system. We don't ask for your location, we don't run advertising, we don't sell anything to anyone. The only analytics is TelemetryDeck — anonymous, EU-based, no personal data. Read the policy.
