Lightning Brain

The official Disney app provides tons of information across all their parks and properties, and is where you buy and manage premium access tools like Lightning Lanes and Virtual Queues. Once you've done that, Lightning Brain uses that information to optimize your entire day. We provide real-time wait intelligence, personalized routing based on YOUR preferences (walk vs wait balance), and proactive alerts so you can put your phone away.

Every family is different. You might even feel different as the day goes on! Sometimes you have tired feet and want nearby attractions even if they have longer waits. Other folks hate lines and will happily walk across the park for a 5-minute wait. Lightning Brain takes YOUR preference into account and sorts every recommendation accordingly. No other app does this level of personalization.

Simple: you only pay for days you're actually in Disney World parks. Buy exactly what you need - 3 days, 7 days, or even just 1 day. No monthly subscriptions to remember to cancel. Your free account never expires, and you get one free premium day to explore all the features at home before your trip.

Lightning Brain knows your location and your next Lightning Lane booking, as well as walk, wait, and ride times for every other attraction in the park. It calculates: "You are at Astro Orbiter and you have 73 minutes before your Haunted Mansion window closes. On the way there, you'll have time to do Mad Tea Party, the Carrousell, or Winnie the Pooh but probably not Peter Pan's Flight." No other app tells you what you can accomplish between bookings.

Premium users get proactive alerts via push notifications or SMS for booking reminders, wait time changes on all or just your selected attractions, Lightning Lane Single Pass availability, and weather updates. Choose your preferred notification method. The goal is to let you enjoy Disney with your family instead of constantly checking your phone. Set your preferences once, then get intelligent notifications when action is needed.

"Data Nerd" mode shows you all the details - wait times, walk distances, efficiency scores, and comprehensive attraction lists for when you want to see all your options. "Next Right Thing" mode simplifies everything down to one clear recommendation at a time: "Go do this next." Perfect for busy families or when you just want simple guidance without the complexity.

Yes! Lightning Brain covers all four Walt Disney World parks: Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. (Not the water parks at this time.) It automatically detects which park you're in and provides location-aware recommendations. Or you can set your location manually, if that's your privacy preference!

Lightning Brain creates beautiful, shareable infographics of your Disney day combining your photos with park data. See attractions you conquered, miles walked, wait time savings, and a map and timeline of your magical day. It's like having a professional trip photographer and data analyst combined. Even though AI Trip Reports is a Premium feature, you have access to the ones you create for life.

Absolutely. Lightning Brain uses industry-standard encryption and never shares your personal data with third parties except where instructed by you. Your location data is used to provide you with personalized recommendations and is never sold or shared. Anonymized and aggregated data is used to build predictive models so we can continue to build Lightning Brain's smarts for our users. We're Disney fans building for Disney fans - your privacy matters to us. We're fully GDPR and CCPA compliant.

Yes! Your free account never expires and includes the core features. All users also get one free day of Premium access (turned on at your leisure) to explore all premium features at home. We recommend using that day to set up your preferences, learning the interface, and load any park plans before you arrive at Disney World so your park time is optimized for magic, not technology.
