With complimentary MagicBands discontinued, guests were able to instead welcome the use of smartphones as your pass to get around Disney World. Park ticket, room key, mobile payment, ride photos — you name it! Your phone can do a lot with MagicMobile, and now we’re seeing more signs of this change in the parks.
Last month, we told you all about Disney World’s new MagicMobile service.

Essentially, the new tech lets your smart device be your MagicBand. You can tap into the parks, link your PhotoPass photos, and even join your Rise of the Resistance boarding group! MagicMobile rolled out first for Apple users (including those with Apple Watches!). But now, we have exciting news for those with Androids.
It’s been a busy year at Disney World!
Sadly, Disney won’t let us live here 🙁
As the parks continue with their phased reopening, preparations have been taking place for the big 50th anniversary celebration! But among all the construction and excitement, we’ve seen some changes to everyday operations. And nope, we’re not just talking about safety procedures or price changes — there have been also some major technological advances.
Things change a lot in Disney World, especially when it comes to technology and how it’s used in the parks.

With new health and safety measures and lots of changes to the parks in general, things look a little different. However, the thing that has perhaps changed the most is the way that you ENTER the parks! There are several new steps, processes, and systems in place for park entry at Walt Disney World, and it can be kind of confusing to navigate them all! But today, we’re breaking it down!
There’s a NEW way to navigate Disney World today!

Well, another thing that has become absolutely ESSENTIAL when it comes to visiting Disney World is our phones! Seriously, you may view your cell phone as essential in normal, daily life, but it may be even MORE SO in Disney World. The My Disney Experience App has become critical for having a successful Disney trip, and it has SO many features that can be used for so many different things. BUT, there are probably a few things you didn’t even know the app could do!
