Today Walt Disney World announced the next-generation wearable technology, MagicBand+. MagicBand+ will unlock new magic that will enhance the Guest experience. Once a Guest enters a theme park, MagicBand+ will interact with the Guest at various times with color-changing lights, haptic vibrations and gesture recognition. Guests will engage in new Disney favorite moments including:
-
- Playing bounty hunter in a galaxy far, far away and find virtual bounties throughout Black Spire Outpost in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
- Interacting with the “Disney Fab 50 Character Collection,” the golden sculptures spread throughout the Walt Disney World theme parks.
- Experiencing nighttime spectaculars in a new way as Guests see the band light up and complement the magic in the skies, including the new “Harmonious” at EPCOT and “Disney Enchantment” at Magic Kingdom Park.
MagicBand+ will continue to allow Guests to experience a hands-free experience for things like park and guest room entry, retail and dining experiences, and Disney PhotoPass. Current MagicBands will continue to be available, too, along with the complimentary Disney MagicMobile service that extends MagicBand features, such as park entry, to smart devices.
This new technology will be on sale starting in 2022 and will be available at a discounted, pre-arrival price for Disney Resort hotel guests as well as new and renewing Walt Disney World Annual Passholders.
