Disney Partners with Amazon to Bring Alexa-Type Device to Disney World Resorts

In a world that relies very heavily on technology, Amazon has just announced that Disney fans can look forward to a brand new device called “Hey, Disney!” that will work similarly to their Echo.

The device will offer custom capabilities for Walt Disney World Resort hotel guests such as the ability to check theme park hours, dining information, and other requests from guest services.

Disney fans at home will also be able to use the device to interact with favorite characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and beyond.

The devices will be installed in Disney World Resort hotel rooms starting in 2022.

Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products had the following to say in the official announcement over on the Disney Parks Blog:

Whether you’re at home or in one of our Walt Disney World Resort hotel rooms, soon you’ll be able to use an Echo device to interact with your favorite Disney, Pixar or Star Wars characters. “Hey, Disney!” will make your vacation easier, more meaningful and more fun … and it will entertain and delight you when you’re at home, too. It raises the bar for immersive storytelling with authentic character voices, unique audio environments inspired by our films and destinations, and more than a thousand magical interactions to discover – so you can expect a few surprises!
