It's been a while

It's been a year since our last update, and we've shipped over 600 changes since then. I'll do better

Here's what's new, from a brand-new Walt Disney World Daily Calendar and park hours pages to Halloween Horror Nights ticket tracking and a redesign of most of the pages you use every day.

The big ones

Walt Disney World Daily Calendar (new)

Everything about a single day at Walt Disney World on one page: park hours and Early Entry, 1-day ticket prices for each park, Annual Pass blockouts, park reservation availability, events and parties, showtimes, and closures. Pick any date up to two years out. Open the calendar

Walt Disney World ticket prices and Annual Pass reservations (new)

We now track WDW 1-day ticket prices by park and date, including Park Hopper and Park Hopper Plus, through the end of 2027. We also check Annual Pass park reservation availability for each park every few minutes.

Disneyland Construction Tracker (new)

Follow every building permit filed around the Disneyland Resort, on a map, with an activity feed of what changed and when. See what's being built

Halloween Horror Nights Ticket Tracker (new)

See which HHN Hollywood nights are available or sold out, how that has changed over time, and the full history for any single night. Open the tracker

Universal Studios Hollywood ticket monitors (new)

Pick a date and ticket type, and we'll alert you by email, text or push when it becomes available. Set up a monitor

Menu History (new)

Every Disney restaurant page now has a searchable Menu History tab, so you can see when items were added, removed or changed price.

Customizable app home screen (new)

If you've added Theme Park IQ to your phone's home screen, you can now choose what shows up on its home screen. Open the app

Showtimes for Universal (new)

Universal Hollywood and Universal Orlando now have their own Showtimes pages, and every show has a stats page. Universal Orlando showtimes

Park hours and attraction hours (new)

Every Disney park now has a park hours page with a full calendar, and today's hours are in the sidebar. Attraction pages also show their own hours calendar. Walt Disney World park hours

Character appearance calendar (new)

A calendar of how many different characters are out each day, so you can pick the best day to meet them. Disneyland character calendar

"Open Now" for dining (new)

Filter Dining Locations to the places open right now, or at any time you pick, with "closing soon" warnings.

Redesigned and improved

Most of the site has a new look, built for phones first. Highlights by area:

Both Disney resorts

• Attraction wait times redesigned, with "Best times to go", an hourly heatmap and a today-vs-typical chart
• Character schedules and character pages redesigned, with a date picker, past appearances greyed out, and park closures noted
• Show pages now have a park-hours calendar and a real stats page, and WDW showtimes are filled in further ahead; you can also show or hide cancelled shows
• Refurbishments reworked: better reopening dates, notes on what's changing, and refurb banners on the wait times page
• Dining: redesigned Dining Locations and Dining Updates, faster Menu Search with new filters, allergy and meal period filters on Dining Updates, and clearer "last seating" vs "closing" times
• Dining alerts now cover dining events & park experiences, not just restaurants
• Food lists can be filtered to Sip and Savor items
• Magic Key / Annual Passholder blockout dates pages were redesigned

Alerts and account

• Choose between paid and free credits on every alert, and upgrade an existing free alert to paid
• Push notifications can be turned on in every alert form
• Clearer credit purchase flow
• Multiple renewal reminders before your subscription renews
• A new Theme Park IQ homepage

Faster and more reliable

We also did a lot of work you won't see but should feel. Pages load faster, especially wait times, character schedules and menu search. Dining reservation alerts go out faster. Our data syncs with Disney and Universal recover on their own when something goes wrong. We also added additional round-the-clock monitoring, so we hear about problems before you do.
