Disney today announced MagicBand support for iPhone and Apple Watch in a service called “Disney MagicMobile,” which uses the Wallet app.
Disney’s MagicBand is a colorful bracelet that guests at Walt Disney World can wear to enter theme parks, unlock their hotel room, and purchase food and merchandise. MagicMobile offers a contactless way to access many MagicBand features using just an iPhone or Apple Watch.
Visitors will be able to create a Disney MagicMobile pass through the My Disney Experience app and add it to the Wallet app. The user’s iPhone or Apple Watch can be used at the same contactless access points as with a MagicBand. There’s also the option to use a MagicBand in conjunction with a MagicMobile mobile pass, so guests don’t need to choose one over the other.
Initially, MagicMobile will be exclusive only to Apple devices, but the service is expected to reach Android devices at a later date.
