Inside Look at Disney World's Newest Hotel Perk!

Something NEW is coming to Disney World Resort hotels everywhere.

In fact, we’ve already started to see it in select resorts. The Amazon Alexa “Hey Disney!” device is a voice assistant that will be powered through Amazon’s Alexa and it’ll be made available on select Echo devices — including in your Disney World hotel room. Come see one in action with us!

Get ready to add another magical element to your Disney World vacation with “Hey Disney!”

The device will let you talk to a NEW character that Disney and Amazon have created called the Disney Magical Companion. You’ll be able to speak with the Companion to do things like set alarms, “order select room items, ask questions and have fun with favorite characters.”

We got to check the device out for ourselves on a recent stay at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!

When you enter the room, the ⊘ button on the top of the echo device should be red. That indicates that the device is muted. If you want to use the “Hey Disney!” service on the Echo device, you’ll need to press the ⊘ button to unmute the device. See it in action in our video below!

Once you’ve done that, you can start any requests with the words “Hey Disney.” Once the device hears that, it can then help you answer your questions about the parks, help you plan your day, and more.

One thing you can do with Hey Disney! is chat with some of your favorite Disney characters! We chose Miss Piggy 🐷 because duh.

We even caught some drama between Miss Piggy and Sam Eagle!

Of course there’s DRAMA when meeting with Miss Piggy and Sam Eagle 😂

Is Hey Disney! something you’re looking forward to on your next Disney World hotel stay, or will you disable the service?

Of course, you don’t have to use the “Hey Disney!” device on your trip, and we’ve got a whole article on how you can disable it right here. But, keep an eye out for the device on your next trip as Disney should be rolling them out to more hotels soon.
