Disney Weather Check, powered by AccuWeather, is a new addition to the AccuWeather app, allowing guests visiting Disney parks and resorts to access customized weather information.
Disney Weather Check
The long-term agreement provides a seamless and customized in-park weather integration using the AccuWeather App and Disney Weather Check at the following locations:
- Walt Disney World Resort
- Disneyland Resort
- Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa
- Disney’s Vero Beach Resort
- Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort
The collaboration lets guests make the best-informed decisions to plan for and maximize their day, with access to real-time weather forecasts and location-specific alerts from AccuWeather.
“AccuWeather is collaborating with Disney to help guests enjoy the most magical experience, supported by the most detailed weather forecasts and alerts,” said Steven R. Smith, Chief Executive Officer of AccuWeather. “Together with Disney Experiences, AccuWeather is delivering the most precise, localized forecasts – proven more accurate than those from any other source – that help guests plan their day efficiently, while providing peace of mind that AccuWeather is continuously monitoring weather conditions throughout their visit, with the best and latest information to optimize their experience.”
AccuWeather’s mobile app, exclusive to Disney Experiences, includes:
- Geo-Fenced Experiences within Disney properties, which activates Disney Weather Check features within the AccuWeather App. Guests receive enhanced, location-specific weather intelligence, aligned with Disney employee alerts, warnings, and advisories used to initiate uniform safety protocols.
- Custom Hourly Forecast providing specific hourly forecast for Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, Aulani, a Disney Resort and Spa, Disney’s Vero Beach Resort, and Disney’s Hilton Head Island Resort including real-time weather to support informed decision making and enhanced guest safety.
- AccuWeather MinuteCast provides a hyperlocal forecast of precipitation type and intensity, as well as precise start and end times for rain or snow weather over the upcoming four hours, pinpointed to a person’s exact GPS location.
- AccuWeather RealFeel Temperature is the only index that considers more than temperatures plus one additional variable. It is based on 14 factors, which is more precise than other sources, including the impact of sunshine intensity, wind speed, humidity, and air density.
- UV Index with the greatest accuracy and detail available from any source; highly localized UV indices and forecasts provide enhanced protection from UV exposure by allowing users to track their UV exposure hour-by-hour, down to the tenths of a unit.
“This collaboration enables our guests and operational leadership to benefit from customized, accurate, consistent, and actionable weather insights across many Disney properties,” said Greg Hale, Chief Safety Officer and V.P., Disney Worldwide Safety Assurance. “By integrating AccuWeather’s information and expertise with Disney Weather Check, we are continuing our commitment to providing the best guest experience possible.”
To access these features, download the AccuWeather mobile app.
Adding a Disney location, such as Walt Disney World, will then enable you to receive alerts and push notifications for critical weather events. Alerts can be customized in the side menu under Alerts and Notifications.
Disney recently filed a patent devising a way to alert guests of potentially hazardous weather conditions based on where they currently are on Disney property and their upcoming plans. The app would then suggest modifications to the guest’s plans.
