For people planning their own Walt Disney World vacation
See your entire Disney World vacation in one place and be ready when booking day arrives.

Cancel before your trial ends and you won’t be charged.
When the spreadsheet stops helping
A spreadsheet works until the plan changes.
Moving a park day can mean shifting meals, rewriting notes and checking whether everything still makes sense. Adding a restaurant means finding its location, menu and booking page, then typing the details into another row.
When dining reservation morning arrives, the choices, times and backup ideas you need can be spread across tabs and notes. Meanwhile, booking windows open and park hours change, leaving you to keep the plan up to date by hand.
PlanTheMagic keeps those details connected, so the plan can change without becoming another part-time job.

Prepare for booking day
Turn restaurant choices into an orderly queue with booking dates, direct Disney links and alternatives ready.
Use the plan in the parks
Check the latest day from your phone, keep it available offline and receive a useful briefing each morning.

We built the Disney planner we could not find.
We are Disney Vacation Club members, annual passholders and enthusiastic trip planners who have dined at almost every restaurant across Walt Disney World.
Our spreadsheet could record a vacation, but it could not move connected plans cleanly, prepare us for ADR morning, watch park hours or remember what everybody ordered. PlanTheMagic began as the tool we wanted for our own trips, and we are now making it available to other people who enjoy planning every detail.
Repeat visitors
Built around real Disney trips
Created by Disney Vacation Club members and annual passholders for the way repeat vacations actually change.
Dining knowledge
Made by people who love Disney dining
Shaped by first-hand experience across almost every restaurant at Walt Disney World.
A practical starting point
Born from our own spreadsheet
Designed to preserve the detail planners enjoy while removing the repetitive upkeep.
Common questions
Short answers before you start planning.
Who is PlanTheMagic for?
It is for anyone planning their own Walt Disney World vacation, from first-time visitors to repeat guests who enjoy working through every detail.
Can I plan before I have exact dates locked in?
Yes. Plan by Trip Day 1, Trip Day 2, and so on, so you can rough-plan the trip early and move the dates later without rebuilding each park day and meal.
I already have a spreadsheet. Why would I change?
A spreadsheet can record a trip, but every change still needs manual upkeep. PlanTheMagic lets you move connected plans, fills in useful Disney restaurant details, tracks booking work, and keeps the latest version ready on desktop or mobile.
Does PlanTheMagic decide what my vacation should look like?
No. You remain the planner. PlanTheMagic gives you a better place to organise, research, move and use your own choices instead of replacing them with a generic itinerary.
How does it help on dining reservation day?
Your planned restaurants are organised by what you can act on next, with direct links to Disney booking pages. Save successful bookings as you work and consider suitable alternatives when your first choice is unavailable.
Does it work on mobile and offline?
Yes. Build and adjust the wider trip on desktop, then check your saved plan on your phone. Offline access keeps those plans readable when Disney Wi-Fi or mobile data is unreliable.
Can I export my data?
Yes. You can export your planner data whenever you want to keep a copy outside the app.
Is it only for Disney Resort stays?
No. You can plan Disney Resort stays and non-Disney stays in the same trip planner.
What happens after the trial?
After your 7-day free trial, you can keep using the same planner for $24/year. Cancel before your trial ends and you won't be charged.
Is this an official Disney tool?
No. PlanTheMagic is an independent Walt Disney World planning tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Walt Disney Company.
