## What is ParkCharter?

Plan a full Disney World or Universal Orlando day in minutes, not weeks.

ParkCharter builds an hour by hour plan for every day of your trip using real ride wait patterns, real park hours, and real walking times between lands. You get a route, not a checklist.

Your first day is free, no credit card.

WHAT DOES PARKCHARTER ACTUALLY DO?
Tell us who is coming, which parks, and what your family cares about. You get a timed plan for each day: which ride first, when to eat, when to start walking for the fireworks.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM A TOURING PLAN I FOUND ONLINE?
A blog post was written once, for everyone. Your plan is built for your dates, your park hours, your group, and the rides your kids can actually ride.

WHAT IF SOMEONE IN OUR GROUP IS TOO SHORT FOR A RIDE?
That is what Kid Charter does. When a height requirement splits your group, one adult rides with the tall riders while the other takes the shorter kid to something nearby they will love, and the plan puts you back together afterward. Nobody sits on a bench holding the bags.

WHAT ABOUT LIGHTNING LANE OR EXPRESS PASS?
Say you bought it and the plan uses it. Say you did not and the plan routes around the longest lines instead.

CAN I CHANGE THE PLAN ONCE IT IS BUILT?
Yes. Ask Arrow in plain language. "We are running late." "Add a sit down dinner." "Skip the water park." The day rebuilds around it.

WHICH PARKS ARE COVERED?
Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Epic Universe, and Volcano Bay.

DOES IT HELP ONCE WE ARE IN THE PARK?
Yes. Check off what you have ridden, see current waits, and rebuild the rest of the day when things change.

WHAT DOES IT COST?
Your first day is free, no credit card. One time purchase after that, no subscription.

Time saved and reduced waiting figures shown in the app are illustrative examples based on typical routing, not a guarantee.

### 5/5 — Live Planner is the Best

*2026-08-09*

We have a Disney TA would we love working with, but she can’t save our plans of a storm comes through or the kids are cranky. That feature alone makes it worth it.

### 5/5 — No more standing around

*2026-07-07*

We are seasoned Disney World visitors, but even still, you can’t plan for the unexpected. The AI in ParkCharter helped us when Remy’s was down for hours, and on another day when our son got an upset stomach. The value for the price is definitely worth it!

### 5/5 — Easy and works

*2026-07-04*

Saw this on Reddit and honestly am surprised at how easy it was to use.  Whole trips planned arrow chat updated the trip a few times when we wanted to modify plans due to weather. Disney trios sent cheap may as well get the most of your day.

### 5/5 — Keeps you from going bald

*2026-07-02*

Ok, maybe not literally but with the time savings and reduction in aggravation you’ll be able to stop pulling your hair out.

### 5/5 — Parkcharter saved my trip

*2026-06-20*

This app made my trip. I saved so much time using Parkcharter. Never going back to the old way of planning a trip

### 5/5 — A Must-Have for Disney Trip Planning

*2026-06-19*

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve planned a lot of Disney trips over the years, and Park Charter is one of those apps that just makes the whole process easier. Disney planning can get overwhelming fast, especially when you’re trying to keep track of which parks you’re doing each day, dining reservations, and all the little details that go into a trip. This app keeps everything organized in one place and makes it easy to see your entire trip at a glance.

What I appreciate most is that it feels like it was built by people who actually understand Disney vacations. It’s simple to use, saves time, and helps take some of the stress out of planning so you can focus on enjoying the trip. Whether it’s your first Disney vacation or your tenth, Park Charter is a great tool to have in your planning arsenal. Highly recommend! 10 STARS

### 5/5 — Very helpful!

*2026-06-19*

I found this app to be extremely helpful helpful in planning our trip to Disney World. It saved me lots of time and I will recommend it to all my friends.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver

*2026-06-19*

It really helped us enjoy our day. Instead of trying to decide what we should wait in line for next. We had a whole day planned, and the shorter kids got stuff to do while all the taller folks went on rides they couldn’t.

### 5/5 — Wow, that was easy

*2026-06-19*

Spent so much time figuring out itineraries in the past literally saved me hours and I even had extra things for the kids to do when they couldn’t go on the coasters feels like I got my full values worth out of that park pass I guess

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2026-06-19*

This app really maximizes your trip so you can hit all your favorites. I especially enjoyed the flexibility to change our plan on the fly. It works for Disney and any other park.

• Park hopping: plan two parks in one day. ParkCharter splits
  the day, times the hop between them, and orders both parks
  around live wait times.

• Redeem promo and offer codes right in the app.

• Smarter travel days: arrival and departure days are now planned
  around your real check-in and check-out times, so a half-day of
  travel isn't over-scheduled.

  day view.

Thanks for planning with ParkCharter.
