How to Use Disney World’s Car Locator Feature in the My Disney Experience App

How to Use Disney World’s Car Locator Feature in the My Disney Experience App

The new Car Locator feature is now live in the My Disney Experience app.

This is Disney’s solution to help you locate your car at the end of a park day, because, let’s face it, sometimes it’s easy to forget where you parked.

On July 11, Disney first announced the new Car Locator feature coming to both My Disney Experience and the Disneyland app.

The Car Locator is complimentary and uses location technology to find and save your parking details.

For the best service possible, you’ll want to make sure to enable Location Services, Bluetooth, and Notifications.

The feature is available at all 4 Walt Disney world theme parks, Disney Springs, Disney Water Parks, and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Make sure you have the latest update of the My Disney Experience app so you can use the newest feature.
