***Remember if you don’t want the device, it can easily be shut down, but for tech savvy people like me and my family this will be great and help us be efficient!
What is “Hey, Disney!”? Let’s find out!
“Hey Disney!” is an all-new voice assistant experience coming to select Disney Resort hotel rooms. Joining Alexa on Amazon Echo devices, “Hey Disney!” lets you talk to the Disney Magical Companion to order select room items, ask questions, and have fun with favorite characters.
When is the Device Listening?
When the device detects that someone has said “Hey Disney” or “Alexa” (the “wake words”), it will listen to your request and send it to Amazon for processing in the cloud. Use of certain features through the device’s touch screen will also wake the device and cause it to listen for your request. You’ll know the device is listening to your request when the blue bar lights up.
You can always turn the microphone off by pushing the button on the top of the device, which will turn on a red ring to indicate it’s muted.
Do I Have to Have “Hey Disney!” in My Room?
While using the in-room Echo device and “Hey Disney!” is complimentary, it’s also completely optional.
Remember:
- You can keep the device muted during your stay.
- You can mute and unmute it at any time using the ⊘ button.
- If you have any other questions or concerns, call the Front Desk.
