If you’ve ever used the Play Disney Parks app, you’ve probably had a lot of fun with it in the parks and at home. At home, the app let you play Disney trivia games, but in the parks is where it really shone. You could use it to interact with droids in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, as well as play interactive Star Wars-themed games in the land.

The app also had a lot of interactive experiences you could play with while standing in lines for rides, as well as participate in other games throughout Disney’s parks. Well, we’ve got some bad news if you loved the Play Disney Parks app. As of September 16th, the app has been discontinued.
Back in August, we learned that Disney had plans to discontinue the app as of September 16th, and that seems to be what has happened. If you search for Play Disney Parks in the App Store or on Google Play, you won’t find it. However, we did find the web page for the app on the Disney World website and in My Disney Experience were both still up, although the download links no longer work.

The app is still showing up on phones that have downloaded it, but if you click on its icon, you’ll get a message letting you know that the app is no longer available.

As far as the in-park Play Disney Parks app experiences go, the page for Disney World’s DuckTales World Showcase page now says that the experience is under refurbishment “and may be available in a limited format.” It also still has hours listed, so it seems like you’ll be able to do a few things with that game.

The Play Disney Parks app also acted as a Star Wars data pad for Galaxy’s Edge. Right now, it seems that activity is no longer available. As far as the Star Wars Bounty Hunters game goes, it still seems to be active, but Disney has not yet explained how the game has changed.

The app also interacted with Disney Cruise Line’s Uncharted Adventure, and as far as we can tell, it looks like the game is still playable on the Wish-class ships, but you’ll have to download the cruise line’s Navigator app to play.

I’ll admit I’m a little sad about the app going away because it was always so much fun to play Disney trivia at home on it. But maybe Disney has bigger and better things planned. We’ll be checking all of these experiences out to get you updated information, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
