You may or may not be a Disney Adult if a tiny Disney World app change makes you beam from ear to ear and text your entire family. We also may or may not have done that…

We’re pretty obsessed with the Disney World app, since that’s your go-to spot for dining reservations, Lightning Lanes, hotel bookings, and anything else you might need during your trip. We also can’t tell you how often we check the ride wait times on it every day (…it’s a lot). Well, we admire this new change every day.
You know how you can pick your profile character for your account? You can pick your favorite characters (and mine is Kermit the Frog, in case anyone was wondering), but Disney just added new characters to choose from.

Check it out! You can now choose characters like Orange Bird, Oswald, and Launchpad McQuack.

If you’re ready to change your character, tap the three lines at the bottom of the app (also called the hamburger menu, if you’re in the mood). From there, scroll down to “Profile” under Account, then click “Change Character.”

Beyond being fun, it’s also an easy way to quickly identify each family member in the app. Booking a Lightning Lane for one person and not the other? Easy when you can spot Cinderella versus Heihei. Need to add everyone to the dining reservation? You know you need to add Mickey, Oswald, Minnie, and Scar. Of course, the names are listed too, but this makes it easy to glance at when you’re in the middle of walking from Tomorrowland to Adventureland.

Recently, Disney made another change to the Disney World app that fans aren’t really getting behind, like these new characters. Disney announced it will integrate an artificial intelligence (AI) planning system into the app to help you book your trip based on personal preferences. It will compare prices and experiences, but fans don’t seem to love the upcoming changes. Some fans were concerned about removing the human travel agent from the process or worried about Disney using AI in general.

While those changes are still rolling out across systems, we’re going to be oogling over the new characters and organizing our whole family’s profiles. Keep following Disney Food Blog for more news, plus tips and tricks to make the most of your upcoming trip.
