Multipurpose Amusement Park Wearables

Disney MagicBands Let Guests Travel with Less

— February 6, 2017 — Tech
Walt Disney World Resorts use technology to make guest experiences as convenient and seamless as possible, and the Disney MagicBands are a great example of this mission. These wearable bracelets help guests to carry around less while they tour the park, and the bands simultaneously give each individual guest — whether a child or an adult — more freedom to explore.

The colorful, waterproof Disney MagicBands serve as all-in-one tools for the various features of the resort. They can unlock one's Disney Resort hotel room, allow for entrance into theme and water parks, and charge food and merchandise purchases. Certain MagicBands also create special surprises for guests, such as light and sound shows when someone uses theirs at specific touch points.

The bands are available in eight solid colors, letting guests either match with their group or express their own personality.
