Custom ride alerts, live wait times, weather-aware ML predictions, and a hands-free day planner for Walt Disney World — built by visitors, for visitors. MagiPulse surfaces what visitors need — proactively, so you spend less time on your phone. KEY FEATURES • Live Wait Times — Up-to-the-minute standby waits across all four WDW parks (Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom), refreshed every 2 minutes. • Custom Wait-Time Alerts — Set a target wait for any ride and get a push notification the moment it drops below your threshold. Stop refreshing manually — the app tells you when. • Ride-Back-Online Alerts — When a ride is closed for refurbishment or breaks down mid-day, get notified the second it reopens. Other apps make you guess; we tell you. • Best Deals at a Glance — Open the app and immediately see which rides have the shortest waits relative to their typical averages right now. Answers "where do I start?" instantly. • Weather-Aware ML Predictions — A neural network trained on months of park data uses live weather (temperature, precipitation, humidity) as inputs to tell you what the wait will be at any hour. • Storm & Heat-Aware Itinerary Wizard — Tell the wizard what you want to ride, and it builds a route that prioritizes indoor attractions when storms or extreme heat are forecast. • Real-Time Itinerary Adjustments — When weather shifts mid-day, get indoor swaps or schedule changes before the rain hits. • In-Park Weather Alerts — Heads-up push notifications for incoming thunderstorms, severe weather, and extreme heat while you're in the park — so you can duck into an indoor ride before it hits. • Hands-Free Park Notifications — Location-triggered welcomes when you arrive, automatic ride-complete reminders when you finish, and a friendly goodbye when you head home. • Smart Day Planner — Build your itinerary and the optimizer routes you efficiently, factoring in transit time, ride duration, and live wait conditions. • Multi-Day Trip Planning (Pro) — Plan a full WDW vacation in advance: assign rides to specific park days, get a routed plan for each. • Interactive Park Maps with Live Waits — Tap any ride or show on the map to see its current wait. A color-coded crowd index per land shows which areas are busiest right now. • Lightning Lane Tracker — Live sell-out status, return windows, and pricing for paid Lightning Lane (LLSP) and Lightning Lane Multi-Pass (LLMP) attractions. • Downtime Insights — See how often each ride has gone down recently and how long it typically takes to come back up — so you can plan around the rides most likely to break down. • Special Event Awareness — After Hours, Halloween, and holiday parties extend the day's effective close time. • Home Screen Widgets & Siri Shortcuts — Add a Best Deals or single-ride widget to your iPhone home screen for live waits without opening the app. Or ask Siri: "What's the wait at Tron?" for hands-free answers. SUBSCRIPTION OPTIONS • Free Tier: Live wait times, basic itinerary, geofence notifications • 2-Week Pass ($4.99): All Pro features for a single vacation • Annual Subscription ($24.99/year, auto-renewing): All Pro features year-round, ideal for annual passholders and frequent visitors Pro features include unlimited custom wait-time alerts, ride-recovery alerts, weather-aware ML predictions, smart day planning, the storm/heat-aware wizard, downtime insights, and Lightning Lane tracker.
