Disney has officially released information on the next generation of their FastPass system and other enhancements they’re calling MyMagic+. The new system will give guests a more personalized vacation through the use of a new wristband called MagicBands. MyMagic+ consists on allowing Disney resort guests to be able to enter the parks without turnstiles and pay for their Walt Disney World purchases with touch to pay technology. This is currently being done through RFID (Radio-Frequency IDentification) chips embedded into their “Key to the World” cards, which also serve as their room keys. Within in the next few months, Disney will be changing the cards for wristbands called "MagicBands", with RFID chips in them. These wristbands will serve as resort guests’ room keys, park tickets and FastPass+. They’ll also be able to charge purchases to their account using the bands and collect their PhotoPass pictures. As mentioned on the Disney Parks Blog by Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman; Tom Staggs A major component of MyMagic+ is the new My Disney Experience website and mobile app, which gives guests planning their trip the latest information on all Walt Disney World Resort has to offer. Linking the entire MyMagic+ experience together is an innovative piece of technology we developed called the MagicBand. Worn on the wrist, it will serve as a guest’s room key, theme park ticket, access to FastPass+ selections, PhotoPass card and optional payment account all rolled into one. We’ve began testing certain aspects of MyMagic+ in Florida last month and the early reactions we’ve gotten have been fantastic. Based on Guests initial reaction to this announcement, Disney released more information regarding the functionality of this system and more questions. • If your MagicBand is lost, you will be able to disable it through your smartphone or by telling a Disney cast member. The RFID chips in the bands will not hold any personal information, just code that the Disney computers can read to look up your information. We will have more updates as soon as more details about this new experience are announced.
