Today we’re excited to share that a  new playlist has been added to the Play Disney Parks app, featuring music in Spanish.

The new “Disney en Español” playlist is available in the app at Epcot®, specifically at the Mexico Pavilion. Guests can listen to songs from Disney•Pixar’s “Coco” and other Disney movies and shows, all in en español!

So how does this work? When you are using the app, they’ll see that each park has a map and within it, a music icon. They can click on that and like Disney magic, an Apple Music playlist will come up from each of the parks with dedicated lists throughout various areas within the park. For example, when Guests are in Epcot, they need to make sure they click on the icon that is on the Mexico Pavilion so they can listen to the playlist.

You will be able to preview the music on the playlist with a thirty-second sample of each song, and new users can even sign up for a free three-month trial from within the app and enjoy full-length versions of their favorite Disney songs.

Guests can also listen to this playlist at home when they are getting ready for their vacación to Walt Disney World Resort or even after they return from their trip!

To use the Play Disney Parks app and listen to the “Disney en Español” playlist on Apple Music, you can download the app from the App Store!

Since officially debuting in June at Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort, Guests have been enjoying the all-new #PlayDisneyParks app – from interactive experiences and activities created for select attraction queues, to Disney trivia that allows the entire family to discover fun facts about their favorite theme parks. And with integrated music playlists through a connection with Apple Music*, Guests are experiencing the magic from home!

We’re excited to share that you can enjoy a brand new playlist, Guest curated by Disney Legend Richard Sherman! The “Disney Parks Hits” playlist features songs specially selected by Richard based on his rich experiences writing music for revered Disney Parks attractions. The playlist is now available in the app via Apple Music* – and Apple Music* subscribers can even add their favorite tracks from the playlist directly to their Apple Music* library!

“Walt Disney always knew music could deliver far more emotional impact than merely words. We teamed his unparalleled optimism with our own to fuel the creative process. We will forever be grateful for the many wonderful opportunities Walt afforded us.” – Richard Sherman.

The Play Disney Parks app has allowed users to celebrate the songs of Disney in a whole new way. By accessing Apple Music* from within the app, users can tap into a curated audio experience featuring official playlists inspired by beloved theme park lands, attractions and characters – and some favorite memories too.

The Play Disney Parks app features more than 30 unique playlists that celebrate the history and heritage of Disney Parks. From beloved classics featured in the Main Street, U.S.A. and Happily Ever After playlists, to newer favorites in the Frozen Ever After and Pixar playlists – there is sure to be something for every Disney fan to enjoy.

Apple Music subscribers will be able to add favorite Disney playlists direct to their Apple Music library, allowing them to live and re-live the musical magic of Disney parks at home. New users can sign up for a free three-month trial from within the app and enjoy full-length versions of their favorite Disney songs.

This is only the beginning for the Play Disney Parks app, with even more experiences and musical journeys set to debut in the coming months.

Over the last several months, we’ve received great feedback from Guests using the recently launched vacation tools in the My Disney Experience app – from shopping for merchandise and mobile ordering food to checking into our Disney Resort hotels on-the-go and viewing bus times.

One of these exciting new features includes the ability for Guests to use their Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phone to unlock their hotel room door. This represents another seamless room-entry option for your Clients to use, in addition to theirMagicBands. This technology made its initial debut at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge earlier this year, and this week, we are completing its rollout to Disney Resort hotels at Walt Disney World® Resort, including Disney Vacation Club properties.

Using a digital key can help add convenience and flexibility to your stay, whether they simply prefer the look and feel of their mobile phone, or if they need a backup option after accidentally locking themselves out of their room (it happens to the best of us). The feature was designed with a distinctly Disney touch, and if you listen closely, they’ll hear the sound of pixie dust filling the air as their hotel door opens.

Guests can also use their digital key to unlock the hotel entrance gate and common area doors requiring a key, which may include fitness centers, elevators and club level lounges. And arriving travel parties that have checked in online may even use their digital key to bypass the front desk, similar to what they are able to do with the MagicBand, giving them the opportunity to go directly to their room when it is ready and start their vacation even faster.

Each Guest staying in the room with a My Disney Experience account may opt-in and activate the feature on their check-in day through a brief set up process in the app. To enter their room, guests tap the “Unlock Door” button and then simply hold their phone against the door lock.

This is the latest in the evolution of keyless room entry, which began with the MagicBand, the unique all-in-one device that allows you to effortlessly access the plans and vacation choices you’ve made in My Disney Experience. Guests can choose to use either or both options for room entry throughout their trip, but please remember to wear their MagicBand for all other uses, including park entry, FastPass+ redemption, linking Disney PhotoPass images and more.

Be sure to download the latest version of My Disney Experience today for iOS or Android to opt-in and activate their digital key during their Disney Resort hotel stay and discover all of the other great features in the app.

Guests can soon explore Disneyland® Resort and Walt Disney World® Resort in a whole new way using the all-new Play Disney Parks app! Coming this summer on iOS and Android, guests can play in the parks like never before using this soon-to-launch mobile app to access exclusive experiences at both locations through activities that interact with the surrounding environment. The app will be free to download.

With the touch of a button, wait time turns into play time with family and friends at certain locations. And the more guests explore in Disney parks, the more there is to discover on the app. This is just the latest way we are making a visit to our parks even more fun and memorable in new and innovative ways.

Since the launch of My Disney Experience at Walt Disney World Resort in 2013, Disney continues to reinvent digital offerings at their parks around the world. The My Disney Experience app, our Guests’ go-to vacation companion, has continued to evolve – including the Get Directions feature, Online Check-In and the recently launched Digital Key. Guests are also loving the Disneyland App, Disney MaxPass and soon mobile order at Disneyland Resort – currently available at Walt Disney World – and we’re excited to bring this latest innovation to the parks!

We can’t wait to share with you everything this first-of-its-kind Disney app has to offer. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to launch this summer.
