A Disney (DIS) destination may be the “happiest place on earth” for kids, but for many parents it’s a little too expensive to make it all that happy. With amusement park admission prices up another 9% this year, trips to Disney are increasingly one of the most expensive places for families to vacation.

For a limited time, Guests at Disney California Adventure® Park and Disney’s Hollywood Studios® will experience a sneak peek of Disney•Pixar’s “Incredibles 2.”

Guests can be the first to enjoy an exclusive glimpse at the first ten minutes of the film during the sneak peek. Check out this special message from film star Samuel L. Jackson as he shares his excitement for the upcoming offering.

The sneak peek will arrive at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney California Adventure Park on May 18, 2018. Guests can stop by the Walt Disney Presents theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Sunset Showcase Theater at Disney California Adventure Park where this super sneak peek will be presented in stunning 3D with in-theater special effects.

In “Incredibles 2,” Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is called on to lead a campaign to bring Supers back, while Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) navigates the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell), Dash (voice of Huck Milner) and baby Jack-Jack—whose super powers are about to be discovered. Their mission is derailed, however, when a new villain emerges with a brilliant and dangerous plot that threatens everything. But the Parrs don’t shy away from a challenge, especially with Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) by their side. That’s what makes this family so Incredible.

While the Parr family captivates audiences on the big screen, Guests at Disney Parks will enjoy incredible new offerings this summer. The Incredicoaster opens with Pixar Pier on June 23, 2018 and will bring the Parr family racing alongside you in an attempt to catch baby Jack-Jack! 

Walt Disney World Resort will kick-off Incredible Summer on May 25, 2018 with exclusive summer offerings including an Incredible Tomrrowland Expo. Your Clients can celebrate “all things super,” alongside Mr. Incredible, Frozone and, for the first time ever, Edna Mode with a “SUPER” dance party on the Rocket Tower Stage.

Check out this brand-new trailer for the film. “Incredibles 2” bursts into theaters on June 15, 2018.

At Walt Disney World® Resort, they are always looking for ways to wow their Guests with new technology that enhances their experience. The My Disney Experience app is a perfect example, with recently introduced features like mobile order and online check-in that are providing guests with additional choices to make their vacation even more enjoyable and convenient. Today,they are unveiling another exciting app feature: a digital key.

Coming soon to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, a new feature in the My Disney Experience app will allow Guests to quickly unlock their hotel room using a digital key on their mobile devices, providing them with another seamless room entry option that brings added ease and flexibility to their experience.

Guests can also use their digital key to unlock the hotel entrance gate and common area doors requiring a key, which may include pools, fitness centers, elevators and club level lounges. Arriving travel parties that have checked in online may even use their digital key to bypass the need to visit the front desk, giving them the opportunity to go directly to their room when it is ready and start their vacation even faster.

The feature represents the latest evolution of keyless room entry, which we began offering with the MagicBand, the unique all-in-one device that effortlessly connects the vacation choices guests make in My Disney Experience. Guests may use either or both options to enter their room during their stay.

So how does it work? To use their digital key, Guests can 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. Check out the video below to see a sneak peek of the feature in action.

Bluetooth®-enabled mobile devices with the latest version of the My Disney Experience app are required to take advantage of a digital key for room entry. Be sure to remind your Clients to wear their MagicBand for all other uses including park entry, FastPass+ redemption, room charges and more.

Stay tuned for more information about the digital key feature and other future enhancements to the app.
