Disney Cruise Line Adding DisneyBand+ Wearable Technology to Ships

Disney Cruise Line (DCL) announced the popular MagicBand+ technology used at the Walt Disney World and Disneyland resorts will soon be available on all its ships.

Disney officials said the technology—now dubbed DisneyBand+ by DCL—would first be available for preview on select Disney Wish sailings before it officially debuts. The device will allow passengers to enjoy the hands-free conveniences of wearable technology.

With three DCL-exclusive designs, DisneyBand+ is an optional add-on not included in the cruise fare and will be the perfect accessory for a cruise vacation with its water-proof design.

The rechargeable DisneyBand+ will make unlocking a stateroom door or charging food and souvenirs to an account as easy as tapping your wrist. Travelers can also link photos taken on the ship to their stateroom account, making it easier to view and purchase them during the cruise.

The wearable technology allows passengers to discover enchanting surprises throughout the voyage. Children age three and up can also use the bands instead of the Oceaneer Club Band to access kids’ clubs, such as the Oceaneer Club while onboard and Scuttle’s Cove at Castaway Cay.

In March, DCL and the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) agreed to homeport a brand-new Disney cruise ship exclusively in Singapore for at least five years beginning in 2025. Officials are expected to reveal details about the maiden voyage, itineraries and onboard experiences at a later date.

DCL also revealed the inaugural 2024 dates and select itineraries for Lighthouse Point, its newest island destination in The Bahamas. Disney Magic will sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to the cruise line’s newest beach retreat on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera starting next June.
