Disney's AI-Powered Vacation Planner Now in Beta

The Walt Disney World resort has introduced an AI-powered vacation planning tool, now in beta on its official website. The 'Guided Search' tool allows guests to select dates and party size before hitting 'Get Started'. It displays a date picker with October, November, and December 2026 calendar views for selecting arrival and departure dates.

The tool also features an AI chatbot that suggests asking about interests like food and wine or accessibility needs. The resort search results page shows Disney's Pop Century Resort and Disney's Art of Animation Resort as the top matches, with nightly rates starting at $247 and $277 respectively.

The Guided Search booking flow displays an order summary for Pop Century Resort totalling $1,392.77, alongside an AI-powered 'Ask or Refine Results' beta chatbot panel. The tool also provides information on transportation options, including a bus travel time of 25 minutes from Disney's Pop Century Resort to Magic Kingdom.

The resort map displays hotel pricing near Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom, with nightly rates ranging from $132 to $1,203. The 'Guided Search' tool is currently in beta and may be subject to change or updates.
