It’s no secret that Disney is all about embracing technology — not just in the parks, but also in ways that can benefit and assist guests visiting those parks.

New Incredibles-themed rooms at the Contemporary
Mobile Order has changed how we get food at the parks, Mobile Checkout has changed how we shop, and Disney Genie has changed how we plan our days in each park. And recently, we shared how Disney will use Amazon Alexa to offer guests their own Disney-themed digital assistant at home AND Disney World hotels.
Well, today at Destination D23, we got an update on this service called “Hey, Disney!” which is a “custom voice assistance” that works with Alexa on Amazon Echo devices. The service will be available for use at home, but it will also be available at Disney World hotels.

The service will assist guests with room amenities, guest services, planning, weather, and more!

Hey Disney!
Disney World will begin to roll out Hey, Disney! to its resorts next year, in 2022! And it will be complimentary (aka FREE) for all guests staying on property.

Hey Disney!
Today Disney announced that the service will also make its way to Disneyland resorts, too! Watch a video to kind of see Hey, Disney in action below.

We do this because it’s important to us as journalists to ensure not only that we give you unbiased opinions, but also that you can trust us to do so since we’re paying our own way. On rare occasions, when we are invited by a company to attend a preview as media, and when we choose to accept that invitation, we will always make you, our readers, aware of that situation. Today, we were invited by Disney to attend Destination D23.

You can always count on DFB to give you a 100% unbiased and honest review of any event that we attend, food that we eat, or beverage that we drink. You can see more in our Disclosure Policy.

They said all attendees will receive one or free. But what about my plus one? Will they receive one as well since technically my name is on both tickets. Hmm
This is a golden opportunity for someone in the lobby to hack into your devices. This has happened to me at Disney World before, and without Alexa.
