Girls Who Code visited Disneyland Resort

Girls Who Code visited Disneyland Resort this week! The Disneyland Resort extended an invitation to 22 high school students from the Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program so they could get a glimpse at the technology behind the magic at Disney Parks, including the all-new Play Disney Parks app!

The girls received a special demonstration to learn how the app’s games and experiences were created. After which the group enjoyed the “Playset Party” game together in the queue of Toy Story Mania. The girls also learned more about how machine learning has been used to make magic for guests in our parks around the world.

“I know technology and coding is used in the Disney Parks so I was really excited to find out what aspects it’s used for that I didn’t realize,” said Guadalupe.


“It was interesting seeing how they use coding and different programs to make technology work, like in the Play Disney Parks app,” added Dana.
