Technological Advancements at Walt Disney World – I’m Trying It Out!
WNext week I’ll be enjoying a few days at the Happiest Place on Earth! OK, I’m sure for many of you, a few days at Walt Disney World might not be that exciting, but for my family it definitely is. Here on the site we’ve written about Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line in the past, touching on all the amazing technology these places have to offer. With two trips booked this year, my wife and I wanted to explore new technologies being used at Disney attractions, most notably the MagicBand+!
From Disney, “MagicBand+ lets you engage in Disney experiences like never before as it reacts to select park interactions with lighting effects and gesture recognition.”
What are the perks of the MagicBand?
- Enter Disney Parks – “With valid admission and a theme park reservation, easily enter the parks at Walt Disney World Resort.”
- Unlock Disney Resort Room – “Access your Disney Resort hotel room door with a single tap.”
- Easily Make Purchases – “Charge food and merchandise purchases to the payment card on file at your Disney Resort hotel room during your stay.”
- Lightning Lane Entrances – “Just tap your band at Lightning Lane entrances to redeem your purchased selection.”
- Instantly Link Your Photos – “Photographers connect Disney PhotoPass photos to your account with just a tap.”
Sounds good? Well guess what – that’s what you get with a regular Disney MagicBand. With the MagicBand+, Disney gives guests brand new reasons to check out various aspects of the park, including cool interactions in Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge, interactions with night time spectaculars, and interacting with statues around the park.
We cannot wait to try these features out, and so much more – stay tuned for articles launching next week!
The Canada Resident Ticket Offer is available for bookings made before the end of April. There is more info here: https://disneyworld.disney.go.
