- Disney MagicMobile will be just like having your MagicBand on your phone. That means you will be able to use it for theme park entry!
- Most features of Disney MagicMobile will be accessible simply by holding your mobile device (like iPhone or Android phone) up to an access point, similar to the way a MagicBand works.
- Once the service launches, Guests can choose to use either their MagicBand or MagicMobile, depending on their preferences. Both can also be used simultaneously depending on what is most convenient for you during your trip, so you can switch between using your MagicBand or MagicMobile on your phone.
Disney confirmed in a blog post that the MagicBands will still be an option, and guests can choose which option is more convenient for them or even use both and alternate between the MagicBand and MagicMobile pass. The company also notes that MagicMobile will not replace the My Disney Experience app, which serves as a digital room key for guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel.
