Disney MagicMobile is a convenient and contactless way to access MagicBand features from a smart device. It will roll out first on Apple, and includes theme park entry via iPhone.
To do this, guests can create a Disney MagicMobile pass through the My Disney Experience app, before adding it to their smart device's digital wallet.
Walt Disney World Resort already features the MagicBand, which is a colourful wristband that provides a seamless theme park experience in Orlando.
Disney MagicMobile is launching in phases, beginning this year. It works like magic, with visitors able to hold their smart device near an access point, much like the MagicBand.
Disney will continue to offer MagicBands, and visitors can select their preferred option or use both. Disney is set to introduce some new MagicBands.
