This week, Disney announced that they will be rolling out MyMagic+ in the Walt Disney World parks over the next months. MyMagic+ will use RFID technology to put all of your information such as park tickets, hotel room key, dining reservations, and more on a bracelet called a MagicBand. It will also include FastPass+ which will allow park goers to schedule times to ride their favorite attractions.
I'm currently planning a Walt Disney World trip for this October, so I'm really intrigued on how MyMagic+ will work. I'm not sure I want to wear a bracelet for our whole trip as well as keeping one on my four year old without her losing it. I am interested in the extra perks to this new technology because Disney also says that MyMagic+ will be used to allow the characters to know your kids' names to make each meeting personalized. It will also allow guests to interact with autoanimatronic figures, like Scuttle in queue for Journey of the Little Mermaid ride in New Fantasyland. It's unknown at this time how these experiences will work, but it could add a lot of magic to a visit to Walt Disney World.
There is no date when MyMagic+ will be available for all guests at the Walt Disney World resort, but I'm hoping it will be before October so I can try it out. You can read more about this story at the Disney Parks' blog.
