Major changes are on the way for the My Disney Experience app and the Disney World website. Disney has already announced a commitment to using AI tool, including a new vacation planner that relies on AI to help Disney World visitors plan their trips.

Well, this new AI planning tool has already rolled out to some users, and we’ve got a first look at how it works and what it does. And honestly? Well, we know a lot of folks were against an AI vacation planner, but we’ve already found it to be really helpful.

If you log in to the Disney World website, you may see a new option in the box where you would search for hotels and vacation packages. This option says “Guided Search — BETA.” This is the beta version of the new AI-powered vacation planning feature that Disney is currently testing. Note that this is only now showing for select visitors to the website, so you may not see it yet.

If you click on that, though, you’ll get to try a new vacation planning experience using AI to find a Disney World vacation that meets your budget and needs. If you click on “Get Started,” you can…well, get started (simple enough, right?). We decided to look for hotel and ticket packages. You can also just choose to search for park tickets.

Select your dates and the number of adults. However, you can also tell the AI planner to be flexible with dates to help you potentially get better deals.

Here’s what the flexible screen looks like: you just choose a month.

Before you start your search, you can also ask the AI a question to narrow down what you’re looking for. So we asked the search to work with our $200 per night budget and told it our favorite park is EPCOT. Note that asking it a question is optional, and you can just click on “Skip for now.”

Then we got our results. The vacation planner showed us all of the hotels available in November 2026 between $100 and $200 per night, from those that are closest to EPCOT to those that are further away. You can see how helpful this might be if you’re planning your trip with a specific budget in mind.

There is also a section on the page to plan your trip.

When you click on a hotel, the planner will automatically choose your dates if you’re flexible. However, you can change those, and the calendar will show you different prices. Seriously, we loved being able to compare prices like this in one place! This is already a game changer. We also loved how user-friendly it is.

You can also look for specific discounts and offers (you’ll see a button at the top to do that), but it looks like it automatically applies those when you search, so that’s one less thing you have to keep track of. We also searched just for tickets, and it worked the same.

So if you’ve been wondering how this AI vacation planner works, well, wonder no longer! We think this could be a helpful tool for a lot of folks who want to book their trips themselves, although we still don’t think it will replace an actual Disney World travel agent if you really need help and a more personal touch booking those trips.

We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney World updates, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
