Disneyland to get the Alexa-based 'Hey, Disney' voice assistant in 2022

If you find yourself at a Disneyland Hotel in 2022, you'll be able to use the "Hey, Disney" prompt in your hotel room as the voice assistant will work alongside Alexa, courtesy of the in-room Echo speakers. It can handle requests involving amenities or tell stories or jokes.

The theme park is also getting the MagicBand+ next year. These smart wristbands will allow you to enter the park, make purchases, and, basically, go touch-free in many areas in the park. You can even use it to improve the experience in specific areas through lights, gesture controls, and haptic feedback.
