Disney World MagicBand Support Coming on iPhone and Apple Watch

Disney today announced support for MagicBand for the iPhone and Apple Watch in a service called “Disney MagicMobile,” which uses the Wallet app.

Disney’s MagicBand is a colorful bracelet that guests can wear to Walt Disney World to enter theme parks, unlock hotel rooms and buy food and merchandise. MagicMobile brings a contactless way to access many MagicBand functions using just an ‌iPhone‌ or Apple Watch.

Guests will be able to create a Disney MagicMobile license through the My Disney Experience app and add it to the Wallet app. The user’s “iPhone” or Apple Watch can then be used at the same contactless access points as with MagicBand. There is also the option to use a MagicBand along with a MagicMobile mobile license, so guests do not have to choose one over the other.

Initially, MagicMobile will be exclusively for Apple devices, but the service is expected to come to Android devices at a later date.
