Does ChatGPT Give Good, Reliable Advice for Walt Disney World Vacation Planning?
Would we agree with ChatGPT’s advice or not?
For this query, we asked Chat GPT to provide us with a list of the top 10 essentials to pack for a Walt Disney World vacation in 2024.
ChatGPT’s Walt Disney World Packing Recommendations
Here are ChatGPT’s 10 Walt Disney World packing recommendations and whether we agree or disagree with the AI advice:
1. Comfortable Shoes: You'll still be doing a lot of walking around the parks, so comfortable shoes are a must to keep your feet happy throughout the day.
Our verdict on comfortable shoes? Amelia agrees. Mike agrees.
2. Sunscreen: Protect your skin from the Florida sun by applying sunscreen regularly. This is crucial for avoiding sunburn and preventing long-term damage.
Our verdict on sunscreen? Amelia agrees. Mike agrees.
3. Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is essential, especially in the hot and humid weather. Bring a refillable water bottle to save money and ensure you have access to water whenever you need it.
Our verdict on a refillable water bottle? Amelia agrees. Mike disagrees.
4. Portable Phone Charger: With the reliance on mobile apps for everything from virtual queues to mobile food ordering, keeping your devices charged is more important than ever. A portable charger will ensure you stay connected throughout your visit.
Our verdict on a portable phone charger? Amelia agrees. Mike disagrees.
5. Rain Gear: Florida weather can still be unpredictable, so it's wise to pack a compact rain poncho or umbrella to stay dry during sudden showers.
Our verdict on rain? Amelia agrees. Mike agrees.
6. Snacks: While dining options abound in Disney World, having snacks on hand can help curb hunger between meals and save you money on theme park snacks. Pack non-perishable snacks to keep you energized throughout the day.
Our verdict on snacks? Amelia agrees. Mike disagrees.
7. Backpack or Day Bag: A lightweight backpack or day bag is essential for carrying your essentials around the parks. Make sure it's spacious enough to hold items like sunscreen, water bottles, snacks, and souvenirs.
Our verdict on a backpack or bag? Amelia agrees. Mike disagrees.
8. Hand Sanitizer: Maintaining good hygiene is important, especially in crowded areas. Carry hand sanitizer to keep your hands clean and minimize the risk of getting sick.
Our verdict on hand sanitizer? Amelia agrees. Mike disagrees.
9. Hat and Sunglasses: Protect yourself from the sun's rays with a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Not only do they shield your face and eyes from UV exposure, but they also add a touch of style to your Disney attire.
Our verdict on hats and sunglasses? Amelia agrees. Mike agrees.
10. Park Tickets and Identification: Don't forget your park tickets and identification! You'll need them for park entry and any reservations you've made for attractions, dining, or experiences. Keep them safe in a waterproof pouch or wallet.
Our verdict on park tickets and ID? Amelia disagrees. Mike disagrees.
ChatGPT closed its recommendations by noting: “With these updated essentials, you'll be well-prepared for an enjoyable and comfortable visit to Walt Disney World in 2024.”
Does ChatGPT Give Good Advice for Walt Disney World Vacation Planning?
All in all, we felt that ChatGPT did a pretty good job of providing advice that will help any Disney traveler to plan for a Walt Disney World vacation. If you are a first-time Disney World traveler or you haven’t taken a Walt Disney World vacation in many years, ChatGPT’s recommendations are pretty consistent with what you’re likely to hear from a Disney travel agent or your Disney travel expert friend.
The key to getting the best advice from ChatGPT (and any AI for that matter) is to ensure that your input prompts are as specific as possible to get the type of information you are seeking. And don’t be afraid to ask follow-up questions, as AI will do a good job of fine tuning its responses based on additional information from you.
In our next episode (Episode 231), we will share the results of our next test using ChatGPT AI to help plan a Walt Disney World vacation.
