The Disney World companion app with real-time park intelligence. From automatic Lightning Lane rebooking to smart routing between attractions, personalized wait time optimization, and proactive alerts - Lightning Brain adapts to YOU so you can put your phone away and enjoy the magic with your family.
✓ Auto-rebooker with real-time intelligence ✓ Works with Disney's apps ✓ Personalized to your style
You're at Disney World, riding Seven Dwarfs Mine Train with your family. You scan into the Lightning Lane, tap one button to tell Lightning Brain you've used it, then enjoy the ride together. When you exit... your phone buzzes with a notification: "Lightning Lane booked: Space Mountain 2:45p - 3:45p"
You didn't frantically search for availability. You didn't miss the moment with your family. Lightning Brain's Auto-Rebooker handled it automatically - analyzing your location, the current wait times, what's on your route to your next booking, and what you actually want to ride. Within minutes, it picked the best option and booked it through Disney's official API.
Link your Disney account to Lightning Brain and set your attraction preferences (must-ride, interested, skip). Turn on Auto-Rebooker with one switch.
Purchase your Lightning Lane Multi-Pass in Disney's app like normal and make your initial bookings there. Nothing changes about how you start your day.
After you scan into a Lightning Lane, tell the app you've used it. We automatically book your next one within minutes - optimized for your location, schedule, and preferences.
View, modify, or cancel any booking in Disney's app anytime. We just handle the automatic rebooking. All bookings follow Disney's rules and appear instantly.
Every booking uses live data: your GPS location, current wait times (refreshed every 5 minutes), ride status, and tier availability. No guessing, no yesterday's predictions.
Creates an optimal booking route that minimizes backtracking across the park. Stacks your Lightning Lane bookings tightly or loosely in time based on your preference - rush through everything or take it easy.
Everything you need for the perfect Disney day
Tired feet? Prioritize nearby attractions. Hate long lines? Find short waits even if farther. You control the balance.

Real stories from Disney visitors who discovered the difference
Lightning Brain was totally clutch. I didn't need you on my (super expensive!) Lightning Lane Premium day, but all my others? Amazing.
Your geolocation features are so much better than the Disney app's. It always knew where I was, where I was going, and how best to spend my time between here and there.
This thing is super cool! I showed it to a bunch of people while waiting in lines and they got excited about it too.

Everything you need to know about 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.
Typically within a couple minutes of your scan. We monitor your bookings in real-time and book as soon as you're eligible. The new booking appears in your My Disney Experience app right away.
Absolutely! You'll buy your Lightning Lane Multi-Pass in the Disney app and make your initial bookings there. You can also view, modify, and cancel any booking in the Disney app anytime. Lightning Brain just handles the automatic rebooking after you scan in, so you don't have to remember.
Wait times, ride status, and Lightning Lane availability are refreshed every 5 minutes. Your GPS location updates continuously. Every rebooking decision uses the absolute latest park data available.
It prioritizes your must-ride list based on real-time conditions. If you don't like a booking, you can modify or cancel it in the Disney app. But our intelligence engine usually makes the right call based on your situation and preferences.
Yes, one switch disables Auto-Rebooker anytime. You're always in control. You can also always book, modify, or cancel Lightning Lanes manually in the Disney app.
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.
