Today,Apple Walletallows you to store your plane tickets, scan your credit cards, register Resident Advisor tickets or even easily access your Airbnb reservation. Added to this are more and more players in the entertainment market, the latest of which is nothing less than… Disney. Even though the platform is preciselyin direct competition with the apple brand in the streaming field.
Concretely, the Disneyland theme parks have imagined a pass that would allow their customers to move between the different infrastructure facilities using the chipNFCof their iPhone. Exactly like Apple Pay, therefore. Note also that the group's hotels will be entitled to the same solution, as will restaurants where it will be possible to synchronize your bill.
Compatible devices
Be careful, however, because not all iPhone models will be eligible. Indeed, to be entitled to this service you will have to start by installing the application dedicated to it:My Disney Experience. The latter requires iOS or iPadOS 13, which automatically leaves a lot of smartphones in the dust. Butthe Apple Watch connected watchwill also benefit from this new option, calledDisney MagicMobile Service.
However, the precise launch date of this change has not been specified at this time. But in terms of schedule, the creator of Mickey and Friends assures that everything is planned forthis year, with a gradual deployment. It is difficult to know which countries will be entitled to it first, but it is quite likely that, as is often the case, the United States will be the first served. Remember that there is also a Disneyland in the Paris region.
