ANAHEIM – MyMagic+ is coming to Disneyland soon.

Disney Parks Chairman Tom Staggs told the Orlando Sentinel last week that the new technology that allows guests to customize park experiences will be made available at Disneyland and other Disney theme parks in the near future.

MyMagic+ is currently available at Walt Disney World and MagicBands are on the Disney Cruise Line as part of the children’s programming.

MyMagic+ is a technological system that allows Disney guests to customize their in-and-out-of-park experiences via a small wristband, the MagicBand, and/or via a phone application.

MyMagic+ serves as a visitor’s park ticket, Fastpass for rides, can make dinner reservations, pay for food and merchandise, and could even be used as a key to enter hotel rooms with a single tap of the wrist.

In Florida, the bands costs $12.95, although if you stay at a Disney Resort hotel, or are a passholder there, they are free.

Staggs did not say when Disney will roll out the technology at Disneyland but did say it won’t be the same version as deployed at Walt Disney World.

“We’re studying it right now and learning a lot in Florida,” Staggs told the Sentinel.

Disneyland officials declined to comment further.

Disney began rolling out MyMagic+ in June 2013 at Walt Disney World and fully implemented the system in early 2014. The cost was perhaps $800 million to $1 billion, The New York Times said.

Len Testa, co-author of “The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland,” say Staggs’ comments confirmed what many park observers had expected.

“It’s inevitable,” Testa said of MyMagic+ heading to other Disney theme parks. “There are a lot of positive aspects to it.”

Because of the amount of information gathered in a MagicBand, there are some concerns that MyMagic+ invades people’s privacy, Testa said.

“You’ll see some pushback, but in the long term, it’ll benefit the guest and Disney’s operation,” he said.

Testa said to expect to see MyMagic+ on the West Coast sometime in 2016.
