Powerful Sections

Everything You Need,
Nothing You Don't

Each section of Starlit Magic is built with a single purpose, to make your time in the parks smarter, smoother, and more magical.

Dining Oracle
Free + Premium

The restaurant decider. Tell it who's eating, which park, the vibe, and the budget, and get ranked picks, each with a real reason. Free shows your top result; Premium reveals the full ranked list with Insider Notes and Must-Orders.

Resort Oracle
Free + Premium

The resort decider. Answer five questions (budget, who it's for, how you'll reach the parks, what matters most, any dealbreakers) and it narrows all 33 resorts to the three that actually fit, plus up to two more worth considering, each with a real reason. It'll even tell you honestly when what you want doesn't exist. All of it is free; the full resort deep-dives are Premium.

Today's Plan
Free + Premium

The opinionated park-day planner. Tell it your party, arrival time, and must-dos, and get an hour-by-hour plan with the reasoning behind every pick, plus built-in Rest, Snack, Shop, and Pin Trade breaks. Free previews the first few timeframes; Premium unlocks the full day.

Top Picks
Free + Premium

Ranked best-of lists: 2,000+ picks across 8 sections, from Park Strategy and Food & Drink to Hidden & Fun and Families & Accessibility. Free shows every list and its top 3 picks; Premium reveals every pick.

The Essentials
Free + Premium

How Walt Disney World actually works, explained plainly and kept current: 48 articles across 9 chapters, each showing when it was last checked against Disney's official site. Free includes the Families & Kids, Dining & Dietary, and Accessibility chapters; Premium unlocks the rest.

Resorts
Free + Premium

The full directory of all 33 Walt Disney World resorts, each with an editorial deep-dive. Free shows the first sections of each (Who It's For, What It Costs, the basics); Premium unlocks the complete deep-dive.

Dining
Free + Premium

Browse 355+ restaurants and bars across every park and resort: menus, hours, price tiers, and filters by park, cuisine, and area. Free to browse the whole directory; Premium adds Insider Notes and Must-Orders.

When to Go
Free

A month-by-month crowd outlook with an editorial voice: day-by-day crowd levels plus honest notes on the best and worst weeks to visit. The reasoning behind the numbers, not just the numbers.

Wait Times
Free

Live wait times across all four Walt Disney World parks, refreshed every few minutes, plus today's hours and the week ahead. (Wait Time Predictions, predicted curves for every ride, arrive for Premium owners in 2027, built on a full year of logged data.)

Interactive maps for all four theme parks, water parks, resort transportation, and Disney Springs: 110+ venues with live hours and status, live wait times on every ride pin, your own live location, custom pins that sync via iCloud, and the 7 best EPCOT Luminous spots.

Storybook
Free

Every trip becomes a storybook. Capture each day in seconds: mood, a quick note, the ride of the day, a weather stamp, and up to 10 photos a day, then relive it all afterward. Private by design: your Storybook and photos sync through your own iCloud, never our servers.

The Golden 50
Free + Premium

Find all 50 golden character statues hidden across the four parks, at 33 stops. Free gives you the full list and check-offs as you spot them; Premium tells you exactly where to look.

Hidden Mickeys

Drinking Around the World is free, every stop; the other nine are Premium, each with verified must-order drinks and non-alcoholic picks at every stop.

Pin Trading
Free + Premium

Every pin-trading board across Walt Disney World, 80+ of them, with a Top 15 ranking, check-offs as you visit, map markers, and personal notes. Premium adds per-board insider tips and achievements.

Park Trivia
Free · Exclusive

1,000 questions across 5 categories and 3 difficulty levels: Apprentice, Imagineer, and Legend. Built for people who love Disney, not just park strategy. Found only in Starlit Magic.

Home Dashboard
Free

A home screen that knows where you are in your trip: counting down, booking, packing, standing in the park, or home again with a story to tell.

Never Standing Still

Always Getting Better

Starlit Magic is a living product. Here's what gets continuous attention with every update.

📡
Live Data Accuracy

Live wait times refresh every few minutes. Park hours, entertainment schedules, and weather all stay current automatically. If Disney changes something, the app reflects it.

✍️
Editorial Voice

Every restaurant, every pick, every bar crawl has an opinionated point of view. No watered-down "everything is great" reviews. The Grey Stuff is overrated, here's what to order instead.

♿
Accessibility First

Dietary coverage for gluten-free, vegan, kosher, halal, allergies, eating well, and diabetes, plus mobility, sensory, and family-with-young-kids deep-dives. It all lives in The Essentials, in the Dining & Dietary and Accessibility chapters, both free. Inclusive by design, not as an afterthought.

🎨
Design & Polish

Every animation, transition, and interaction is refined based on real tester feedback. The app should feel as magical as the parks it guides you through.

🔒
Privacy & Trust

No tracking. No selling your data. No third-party ad networks. Sign in with Apple keeps your identity yours. Delete your account anytime from the app, one tap, no support email required.

🤝
The Promise

No subscription. No ads. No upsells. No "limited time" tactics. Pay once, own it forever, including every Premium feature we ever build.

📈
Ever-Improving Predictions

Wait Time Predictions arrive in 2027, built on a full year of data the app logs itself, and they'll keep getting sharper the longer Starlit Magic is in the world. Seasonal patterns, special events, weather, and crowd shifts all fold in over time, so your predictions grow more accurate every season.

💛
Built by a Real Disney Fan

Not a faceless dev studio. Starlit Magic is built by a lifelong Disney fan, husband, father, and pin trader, someone who plans his own year around these parks. Every recommendation is one I'd actually make to a friend.

What's Coming

Launch is just the beginning. Here's where Starlit Magic is headed. We take our time so that when a feature lands, it just works.

Build a day or a whole trip (snacks, drinks, dining) and watch a running total that uses real, current prices checked against Disney's own menus.

🎉

📱

📈
Late spring 2027
Wait Time Predictions

Built on a full year of wait data Starlit Magic has logged itself, every season and every festival. Predicted curves show how each ride's line is likely to move, with a confidence level and a plain-language reason why. We waited on purpose: a prediction engine that's never seen Christmas would be confidently wrong.

📊
Late spring 2027
Park Insights

A year of real wait data turned into insight: longest average waits, least reliable rides, and the best days to visit each park.

🧠
Late spring 2027
Learning From Your Trips

Starlit Magic learns from the trips you finish (what you did, what you skipped, which changes worked) to make every future plan sharper.

♿
Summer 2027
Accessibility Map Layers

The accessibility content goes spatial: shade, quiet low-sensory areas, accessible routes, and the nearest restrooms and first aid, right on the map.

📍
Summer 2027
Interactive Maps

Custom, hand-built park maps with tiered detail, eventually property-wide, so the map itself becomes as opinionated and useful as the rest of the app.

🎠
Late 2027
Disneyland

Starlit Magic sets its sights on the Disneyland Resort: Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney, and the hotels. Disneyland is coming in 2027 as its own app. We'll take the time to get it right, the same way we did here.

🏰

Behind the Magic

The Story Behind the App

Built by a Disney Fan,
for Disney Fans

Family at Magic Kingdom, 2016 Family at Magic Kingdom, 2024

Same castle. Same family. Eight years apart.

"I've been visiting Disney parks for years, and I kept running into the same problem — the perfect park day required juggling several different apps, a spreadsheet, and a group chat that nobody responded to. I built Starlit Magic because I wanted one app that actually understood how Disney fans think. Not just a wait time list, but a real companion. Something that knows you're trying to drink around the World Showcase and locate your family and figure out when to rope drop Seven Dwarfs — all at the same time. That's the app I wanted. So that's the app I built."

— Danny, AliKat Digital  ·  Husband  ·  Father  ·  Donald Duck fan and pin trader

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before downloading.

How much does Starlit Magic cost?▾
Starlit Magic is free to download and the core features are free forever. Premium is a one-time unlock at $12.99 (no subscription, ever). Pay once, own it forever.
Is Premium a subscription?▾
No, and it never will be. Premium is a single one-time purchase. Once you own it, you own every Premium feature forever, plus every future Premium feature we add. No renewals, no surprises, no “your subscription is expiring” emails.
Will Starlit Magic ever go on sale or change price?▾
We may run occasional promotions for new users in the future, but if you bought it, you own it forever: no surprise charges, no “upgrade to keep your features” tactics. Pay once, own it forever.
Can I get a refund if I don't like Premium?▾
Yes. Apple handles all refunds through the App Store, request one directly through your purchase history within 14 days. No questions to us required, no support email needed.
What's in the free tier vs. Premium?▾
Free forever: live wait times and park hours for all four parks; interactive maps of the parks, water parks, resort transport, and Disney Springs, with your own live location, custom pins that sync through your iCloud, tap-a-park for hours, and the 7 best EPCOT Luminous spots; the Dining and Resort Oracles (see your picks free); the full dining directory; Top Picks (every list's top 3); The Essentials (the Families & Kids, Dining & Dietary and Accessibility chapters); all 33 resorts, previewable; Drinking Around the World, the full crawl; all Hidden Mickeys with found-tracking; The Golden 50 list and check-offs; booking-window reminders for dining and Lightning Lane; Storybook, a page for every day of your trip; Pin Trading (80+ boards, Top 15 rankings, check-offs, map markers); the When to Go crowd calendar; Park Trivia (1,000 questions); weather; and trip countdowns.

Premium unlocks the insider layer: the Dining Oracle's full picks with Insider Notes and Must-Orders (free shows one); every resort's complete deep-dive (free shows the first few sections); the full Today's Plan (free previews the first few stops); Top Picks, every pick; The Essentials, every chapter; the other nine Bar Crawls with verified must-order drinks; Hidden Mickey Stand · Look · Spot directions; The Golden 50, exactly where to find each statue; dining Insider Notes and Must-Orders; Pin Trading per-board tips; and every future Premium feature, free forever.
Is The Essentials free?▾
Partly. The Essentials is 48 plain-English articles across 9 chapters on how Walt Disney World actually works. The Families & Kids, Dining & Dietary, and Accessibility chapters are free. The rest (tickets, Lightning Lanes, the Dining Plan, money-saving, transportation, tours, Memory Maker, and the holiday parties) are Premium, and even a locked article still shows its summary and Bottom Line.
How current are the prices and info?▾
Every article in The Essentials is checked against Disney's official site and shows when it was last checked. Every price shows an “as of” date, checked against Disney's own menus. We don't promise a fixed schedule; we keep it current and show you the date so you can judge for yourself.
What is the Resort Oracle?▾
It's the resort decider. Answer five questions (your budget, who the trip is for, how you want to reach the parks, what matters most, any dealbreakers) and the Resort Oracle narrows all 33 Walt Disney World resorts to the three that actually fit you, plus up to two more worth considering, each with a real reason. It'll even tell you honestly when what you want doesn't exist: ask for a Deluxe on the Skyliner and it'll say plainly that none exists. A guide that only ever agrees with you isn't a guide. Every result is free; the full resort deep-dives are Premium.
What's the difference between the Oracle and the directory?▾
Two ways to find what you want. The Oracles decide for you, answer a few questions and the Dining Oracle or Resort Oracle narrows hundreds of options to your best few, with a reason for each. The directories let you browse, the full Dining list (every venue, with menus and filters) and the full Resorts list (all 33) are there when you'd rather explore yourself. Use the Oracle when you want an answer; use the directory when you want to look around.
Is Storybook private?▾
Completely, and in a way you control. Your Storybook and its photos sync through your own iCloud, never our servers. It's your trip, kept for you, private by design.
What data does the app collect? Is it safe?▾
No tracking. No selling your data. No third-party ad networks. No account is needed to use the app, and Sign in with Apple is optional: it keeps your identity yours, and we never see your full Apple ID email unless you choose to share it. Delete your account anytime from the app, one tap, no support email required.
Does Starlit Magic work at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland?▾
Right now, Starlit Magic is Walt Disney World only: all four theme parks, plus the water parks, Disney Springs, and resort transportation. Disneyland is on our 2027 roadmap. We'll have more to share about how it works closer to the time.
Does the app work without an internet connection?▾
Most content works offline once loaded: Top Picks and The Essentials, bar crawls, Hidden Mickey directions, resort deep-dives, the Resort Oracle, and your saved trip. Live wait times and When to Go data need a connection to refresh, but you'll still see the most recent cached values when you're offline.
Is the Bar Crawl feature only for people who drink alcohol?▾
Not at all. With every bar crawl we include non-alcoholic and mocktail options for those who don't drink, they're a first-class part of the guide, not a footnote. Whether you're after a signature cocktail or the best alcohol-free sip at each stop, the crawls are built for every kind of drinker.
How accurate are the wait times?▾
Wait time data is sourced from trusted third-party providers that aggregate real-world data from inside the parks. We cross-reference multiple sources to improve reliability, but no app can guarantee 100% accuracy, actual park conditions vary. We always show when data was last updated so you know how fresh it is.
How accurate are the Wait Time Predictions?▾
Wait Time Predictions are coming in 2027. They'll be built on a full year of wait-time data that Starlit Magic logs itself, every season, every festival, every quiet weekday, so the model has actually seen how each ride behaves before it predicts. Each prediction will come with a confidence level and a plain-language reason. We're waiting on purpose: a prediction engine that's never seen Christmas would be confidently wrong.
