Whether the trip involves a 5 day stay at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel or just a day trip to a theme park, the My Disney Experience app is a necessity for much of the process.

The Walt Disney Company has disclosed that a “planned outage” will affect the MDE app’s performance beginning on April 18. At this time, we do not know when exactly this planned outage will take place, nor for how long. We only know that it’s for the sake of maintenance.

Disney could be possibly bulking up its mobile app and official website to prepare for the onslaught of traffic expected on April 20 (the day Annual Pass sales resume). But at this point in time, this is only speculation.
