Hi, I’m the Park Professor.

Park Professor is a Disneyland planning companion app built by one person who loves the parks, learned how to code, and decided to create the tool he wished existed on his own trips. The goal is simple: help you spend less time in lines and more time making memories.

What Park Professor does

The app takes the chaos of a busy park day and turns it into something you can actually understand at a glance. Instead of staring at a list of wait times, Park Professor grades each ride and land from A to F, based on current and recent crowd levels. Use our live map for a quick look at the grades to tell you where the magic is flowing and where the bottlenecks are.

On top of the grades, you can:

  • Set smart alerts for your favorite rides so you’re pinged when the wait improves.
  • Do the same for parades, shows, and nighttime spectaculars so you don't miss a magical moment.
  • See a Daily Snapshot with hours, weather, refurbs, and special events.
  • Track refurbishments so you’re not surprised when a favorite is closed.
  • Explore park tips, scavenger hunt-style challenges, and fun easter eggs around the resort.

How the site fits in

This website extends the app experience. Here you’ll find tools like the Ride Ranker, our live crowd-based ride grades, and a growing library of quick tips and FAQ entries—all designed to help you make smarter decisions in the parks. It’s also the best place to explore what Park Professor is all about before downloading the app.
