Walt Disney World Deploying AI-Powered Trip Planning Tool Beta Test

Disney has announced a beta test for a new travel planning tool.

What's Happening:

• Walt Disney World is introducing a new way for guests to plan their visit and explore different vacation options.
• Developed in collaboration with Google Cloud, this new tool will soon be beta-tested, with a limited number of guests in the United States and Canada being invited to try it.
• Those guests who are selected will see a "Guided Search - BETA" option on the Walt Disney World homepage.
• Using this tool, guests can explore pricing and availability — even without entering specific travel dates.
• Instead, they'll be able to search by month or even the season they'd like to visit in.
• Guests can also elaborate with even more information about their trip.

• From there, guests can compare options, find the best available rates, ask questions, and more.

• AI-powered summaries will also be presented, based on information from official Disney sources.
• At launch, this tool won't be able to do everything guests might need to complete their trip.
• For example, it will not yet be able to make dining or Lightning Lane reservations.
• It's also important to note that guests will be able to continue using existing booking tools as well as Walt Disney World Call Centers and travel advisors.
• Speaking of which, if you'd like to book your Disney trip by speaking to a human who can help you find the best deals and options, we recommend our friends at Mouse Fan Travel.
