Disney Experiences is expanding its use of real-time forecasting technology through a new long-term partnership with AccuWeather.
The collaboration introduces “Disney Weather Check powered by AccuWeather,” a customized weather intelligence platform designed specifically for guests visiting Disney parks and resorts. The system combines location-based forecasting, real-time alerts and operational weather intelligence across multiple Disney destinations.
“AccuWeather is collaborating with Disney to help guests enjoy the most magical experience, supported by the most detailed weather forecasts and alerts,” said Steven R. Smith, Chief Executive Officer of AccuWeather, in a press statement. “Together with Disney Experiences, AccuWeather is delivering the most precise, localized forecasts — proven more accurate than those from any other source — that help guests plan their day efficiently, while providing peace of mind that AccuWeather is continuously monitoring weather conditions throughout their visit, with the best and latest information to optimize their experience.”
Weather Technology Becomes Part of the Guest Experience
The new platform is available through a customized mobile app that delivers location-specific forecasts and alerts tailored to Disney properties. Guests can access the platform through QR codes distributed at participating resorts and parks.
The system is now integrated across several Disney Experiences destinations, including Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Aulani, a Disney Resort & Spa, Disney’s Vero Beach Resort and Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort.
According to the companies, the technology is designed to help guests navigate changing weather conditions more efficiently while maximizing time inside parks and resorts.
Features include hyperlocal precipitation forecasts, real-time weather monitoring and property-specific hourly outlooks. The platform also incorporates AccuWeather’s MinuteCast technology, which provides short-term precipitation timing forecasts tied to a guest’s GPS location.
The integration also includes AccuWeather’s RealFeel Temperature index, which factors in multiple environmental conditions beyond standard temperature readings.
“This collaboration enables our guests and operational leadership to benefit from customized, accurate, consistent, and actionable weather insights across many Disney properties,” said Greg Hale, Chief Safety Officer and V.P., Disney Worldwide Safety Assurance, in a media statement. “By integrating AccuWeather’s information and expertise with Disney Weather Check, we are continuing our commitment to providing the best guest experience possible.”
