The front of the map will have a QR code in the bottom left corner that will connect Disney World guests with the My Disney Experience app.

Our friends at WDW News Today has a sneak peek at them here.

Taking the Disney Guest Experience to the Next Level by adding My Magic+

Taking the Disney Guest Experience to the Next Level by adding My Magic+

 

Disney officially releases all new details on the My Magic+ system on their blog today. This should be interesting to see how they are able to roll out this new service.  Here is the article from Disney Parks Blog.

 

At Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, we continually push the boundaries of creativity and innovation to deliver the best possible experience for our guests. We’re always looking for ways to take what we do and do it even better. Over the past few years, we’ve devoted considerable time and resources to create a more immersive, more seamless and more personal experience for each and every guest who spends time with us. I know there’s been significant speculation about these efforts among our fans, so we’re pleased to give you a glimpse into the work we are doing to take the entire Disney guest experience to the next level.

Some of these initiatives are more apparent and can already be seen by our guests – like our interactive queues at Walt Disney World Resort and the Enchanted Art on our cruise ships – while others are more behind-the-scenes and are focused on “how” visitors plan, access and enjoy their experiences with us. Over the next several months, we’ll be rolling out a collection of tools at the Walt Disney World Resort called MyMagic+ that will give guests more opportunities to customize and personalize their entire visit.
