SupaPark vs Stakeout

Stakeout: Dining Alerts for Disney Parks focuses on dining and experience reservation alerts; its page does not list a crowd calendar, live wait times and ride and Lightning Lane alerts. SupaPark puts live waits, a crowd calendar, dining and Lightning Lane alerts and the Merlin AI planner in one Walt Disney World app: free with email alerts, or $19/month for Silver with push.

Stakeout: Dining Alerts for Disney Parks: An iPhone app that sends push alerts when reservations open at Disney park restaurants and bookable experiences, for the restaurants, dates and times you choose; you book through Disney's app or website. Source: App Store: Stakeout. Its page does not list a crowd calendar, live wait times, ride and Lightning Lane alerts, a touring plan or itinerary and an AI planner to ask questions; families who want those usually add another app for each.

Measured by SupaPark

The live data behind SupaPark’s alerts, refreshed every bake

Each column is one day of fully booked Disney restaurants getting a table back, as seen by SupaPark’s own dining watch (29,099 openings at 90 restaurants). These are the moments an alert catches. How dining alerts work.

Share of the 29,099 openings by time of day, from SupaPark’s own dining watch. Openings happen around the clock, which is why an alert beats checking by hand.

The bundle: one app instead of a stack

Stakeout does one part of the job. Many families end up paying for several apps: one for dining alerts, one for ride and Lightning Lane alerts, one for a crowd calendar and AI questions. Using published prices we checked on Oct 28, 2026, the cheapest option for each of those jobs adds up to $12.99 for one trip or $114.99 a year. SupaPark does those jobs in one app: free with email alerts, or $19/month for Silver with push alerts. See the whole stack, priced and sourced.
