**UPDATE** Disney MagicMobile is now available for everyone on select iPhone and Apple Watch devices, and coming soon to other smart devices.
The new Disney MagicMobile service allows guests to use their smart device to access their tickets and then use their smart device to enter Disney World theme parks. There are a variety of digital “tickets” guests can choose from, including exclusive ones for DVC members and passholders.
Guests will also be able to automatically link your Disney PhotoPass attraction photos and videos to your profile through your smartphone.
MagicMobile will be available along with the popular MagicBand option as well. Disney Resort hotel guests can purchase MagicBands at a special, pre-arrival price.
Disney has shared some useful tips, including a new video on how to get started with the new MagicMobile service via the Disney Parks Blog.
