There are so many tools out there but it is amazing that now all the tools can be found in one place.
We have a trip coming up in a few months and I am very excited to be able to use all the amazing features.
Tools That Will Make It All Worth It
Below are my favorite features of the app. They are the best ways that you can really get the biggest bang for your buck.
Dining Reservation Finder
In the past, I have used Mouse dining to watch for my reservations which are difficult to get.
Long story short, I am very guilty of letting life get in the way and missing my 120-day window for dining reservations. If you use a travel agent they will take care of all of this for you. But, if you taking care of the reservations yourself, using a dining reservations tool is really important and vital to getting those difficult dining spots.
On this app you can add the reservations you want with the number of people and the app will watch for availability to pop up. What I like the most is that it will text or e-mail you. On other apps I have used I had to pay extra for the text feature. Having a one cost fits all works best for me.
Discounted Tickets
The unlocked magic app provides discounted tickets.
First, I was interested to explore this section because there are a lot of sites out there that state they provided discounted tickets, but that is only true if you’re getting 7-day tickets for 10 people. Okay, that’s a little dramatic but it is true. These sites are best for longer trips and bigger parties.
Not the same for the Unlocked Magic app. I was surprised to see that there was actually savings on shorter-stay tickets.
For example, I looked for 4 adults 3-day park hoppers in October and my total came back at $1,980.81.
Ok… but what is Disney’s total? Well, It was $2176.60.
That gives us a savings of $195.90. That is like 3 drinks per adult in Epcot!
I will use this feature on my next stay as soon as possible!
DVC Availability Mapping
The Unlocked Magic community is part of the World of DVC. They offer DVC resale, as well as DVC rentals. I have used the DVC Rental store for our Vero Beach Stay. Also highly recommended if you are looking to save more money on Disney.
The app has a portal that allows a non-DVC member to see DVC availability. It is helpful, but I use the DVC rental store’s reservations to look at room availability and pricing. Find out more about the DVC Rental Store and how to save more money.
This tool is great if you are going to be booking a DVC room. Over all this is helpful when planning your vacation.
Crowd Control Calendar
Warning This is my favorite feature.
Disney on a low-crowd day is the best way to Disney.
The crowd control calendar is an awesome feature if you are able to be flexible with your dates.
The Unlocked Magic team uses some of the historical data on crowds to formulate a general crowd level for the dates provided. They report them as lowest, low, medium, high, and highest. This is very helpful in planning which parks to hit on which days to get the most enjoyment out of them.
I suggest using this tool if you’re only going for one day. Check out the one-day itinerary for Magic Kingdom here.
More Resources
With the app, they also have resources like packing lists, Genie + guides, and how to use rider swap! Very valuable.
Overall, the Unlocked Magic app is more than just an app, it’s a community. It is a place where you can ask questions and get feedback from those who love Disney and have a lot of experience. Making the planning process so much easier with their help.
They have a lot of fun extra on here as well.
Disney Artist Jason Zucker provides animation lessons so you can learn to draw your favorite Disney characters.
Lastly, If you’re at a loss for what to wear to Disney, Unlocked Magic brings you Once upon a wardrobe. A service that creates your vacation looks for you. This sounds amazing and I will be testing this service out in the future. Yet, with Unlocked Magic you get 4 exclusive looks each month. They do all of the planning for you, that sounds awesome.
For the long-awaited favorite feature….
The dining reservation finder is the best bang for your buck of this app. The other apps that I have used cost so much to only find me a dining reservation. This app is half the price and you get a ton of other features for the cost.
