Disney and AccuWeather have teamed up on a new app that will help guests plan for park visits by knowing weather reports. The new app, called Disney Weather Check, will allow guests to check the weather before (and as) they visit their favorite Disney destination. This will include Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa, Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, and Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort.

“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. “By integrating AccuWeather’s information and expertise with Disney Weather Check, we are continuing our commitment to providing the best guest experience possible.”

Disney Weather Check will utilize the power of AccuWeather to set guests up for success with specific weather reports as they plan their Disney visits. The new app can be downloaded on the AccuWeather website. In the announcement for this new app, AccuWeather said that “guests are empowered to make the best-informed decisions to plan for and maximize their day, with access to real-time weather forecasts and location-specific alerts from AccuWeather.”

“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. “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.”

The new Disney Weather Check app will include the following features:

• Geo-Fenced Experiences within Disney properties, which activates Disney Weather Check features within the AccuWeather App. Guests receive enhanced, location-specific weather intelligence, aligned with Disney employee alerts, warnings, and advisories used to initiate uniform safety protocols.
• Custom Hourly Forecast providing specific hourly forecast for Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa, Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, and Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort including real-time weather to support informed decision making and enhanced guest safety.
• AccuWeather MinuteCast® provides a hyperlocal forecast of precipitation type and intensity, as well as precise start and end times for rain or snow weather over the upcoming four hours, pinpointed to a person’s exact GPS location.
• AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperature is the only index that considers more than temperature, plus one additional variable. It is based on 14 factors, which is more precise.
