TouringPlans.com API – Calling All Disney Developers
We’re pretty geeky around here at TouringPlans.com HQ. Over the past few years, we’ve spent a lot of time building up a big database of Disney attraction, hotel, and dining information, and a lot more (we even started predicting park hours last week). Because we’re big geeks, we also love APIs — ways for 3rd-party web and app developers to access data (we talked about Disney APIs on the latest Betamouse episode).
As an experiment, we’re testing a simple API for TouringPlans.com that includes basic attraction, dining, and hotel information in JSON format. It does not include any crowd information or copyrighted data from the Unofficial Guide. It will, however, give you a bunch of core data that that may help jumpstart or add to a wicked-awesome Disney programming project; data that you won’t have to compile or maintain on your own (we will!).
If you’re a developer and would like to check it out, please email me: henry@touringplans.com. Eager to hear what you think!

Totally dig this! I’ve been working with this API since day one and it’s SO helpful for exactly the reasons you point out. Quick jump start with reliable data.
I’ve got a killer project coming out soon that will be proudly showing off the great info from the TouringPlans.com API
Thanks Rustin! Really interested to see what you’re up to.
Thanks for this! While I’m not planning anything at the moment that would use this, I look forward to having it available in the future. It might open up some new doors down the road!
Thanks Doug!
Sweet! I’m more of an XSD/XML nerd when it comes to API’s, but I’ll consider dusting off my javascripting skills for Disney information!
So now that Henry has moved on to a new company, who do we email about using the API?
Never mind I found the information on the site… look before you post next time, Mike
