Over the years, the Disney Parks have offered many fun and free interactive experiences for Guests. One of the favorites that we still miss is the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game.

Around this time, there seemed to be a shift toward guests unlocking interactive features with the new MagicBand+. This is still going strong at Walt Disney World, but at Disneyland, the MagicBand+ is being discontinued for sale.

Now it seems that another free interactive feature is being removed from the Disney Parks.

The Disney Parks Play App allows Guests to explore the Disney theme parks in a fun way with interactive adventures, attraction-themed games, Disney Parks music, and Disney trivia!

This also includes fun experiences such as the DuckTales World Showcase Adventure, the Star Wars: Datapad, and Batuu Bounty Hunters experience.

Today, Scott Gustin shares that Disney will retire the Play Disney Parks app on September 16, 2026. According to Gustin, "The Play Disney Parks app will be removed from app stores, and users will no longer be able to log in."

What does this mean for Guests?

The DuckTales World Showcase Adventure has been unavailable due to a refurbishment for a few weeks. The future of this experience is uncertain. The Star Wars: Datapad will be eliminated.

Disney Parks Play app will be removed on September 16, 2026.

The only way Guests will be able to complete Batuu Bounty Hunters missions is by using a MagicBand+.
