Disney today announced MagicBand support for iPhone and Apple Watch in a service called “Disney MagicMobile,” which uses the Wallet app.

Disney’s MagicBand is a colorful wristband that guests at Walt Disney World can wear to enter the theme parks, unlock their hotel room, and purchase food and merchandise. MagicMobile provides a contactless way to access many MagicBand features with just an iPhone or Apple Watch.

Guests can create a Disney MagicMobile pass through the My Disney Experience app and add it to the Wallet app. The user’s iPhone or Apple Watch can then be used on the same contactless access points as a MagicBand. There is also the option to use a MagicBand in addition to a MagicMobile mobile pass, so guests don’t have to choose one over the other.

Initially, MagicMobile will be exclusive to Apple devices, but the service is expected to be available for Android devices at a later date.
