Wait times shouldn't be a job. Park Alerts watches Walt Disney World wait times in the background and sends one push when the ride you want drops to the wait you want. That's it. No refreshing. No staring. No stress. For parades, stage shows, and live entertainment, pick a 15- or 30-minute lead time and we'll send you a notification before showtime. Never realize at 4:55 that you missed the 5:00 parade.
