Guests staying at Disney World’s Polynesian Village Resort are among the first to call on the “Hey Disney!” voice assistant on Amazon Echo devices. This week, the park began installing Echo Show 5 smart displays equipped with the Disney-branded version of Alexa. Guests can request amenities, ask about the park’s events, crack jokes or engage in other interactive activities.
Disney Parks announced the rollout in an Instagram post and said the devices would be placed in a limited amount of rooms at the resort and eventually extend to additional hotels across Disney World.
More to come.
