Disney Cruise Line has announced that the MagicBand+ technology used at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort will start to make its way to Disney Cruise Line, beginning with a preview opportunity on select Disney Wish sailings before it officially debuts.

The cruise line is are calling it DisneyBand+.

With DisneyBand+, travellers can unlock the wearable technology on the high seas for the first time on a Disney cruise.

DisneyBand+ will make unlocking the stateroom door, charging souvenir to a payment card on the stateroom folio as easy as tapping your wrist. The DisneyBand+ is adventure-proof meaning travellers can wear it while they cool off at the pool, go snorkeling or take a plunge on AquaMouse!

Even the littlest explorers can experience a DisneyBand+. Children ages 3 and up can also use their bands in lieu of the Oceaneer Club Band to access kids’ clubs including Disney’s Oceaneer Club while onboard and Scuttle’s Cove at Castaway Cay.

Onboard photographers around the ship capture vacation memories and with one tap, travellers can easily link their photos to their stateroom, making it easy to view and purchase photos during your cruise.
