Disneyworld To Accept Apple Pay & Google Wallet

Walt Disney World is one place that my wife has always wanted to holidays. Personally, I don’t want to stand in the long queues or drive around endless parking lots. Bu,t one reason I have held off so far is the cash. I really don’t want to have to always pull out my wallet every two minutes. I know you still have to pay for goods and services, but I would rather use my phone than coins and paper.

The launch of Apple Pay and Google Wallet at Walt Disney World Resort is the first place Disney will use Apple Pay and Google Wallet, not to mention a number of other wireless payment systems,  in the near future. 

In the future additional Disney Stores and other Disney properties will follow suit in the use of mobile payments. This system will start with Disney’s RFID system, which is already in place, as part of their MyMagic+ brand.

Apple Pay and Google Wallet will be deployed to Disney Stores inside the parti, bars, quick-serve restaurants, and ticket sale booths first, according to WDMagic. Following this initial roll-out, sit-down restaurants inside the park will be added in the future.

Disney will be using the EMVCo system to accept payments like Apple Pay and Google Wallet. In order to identify locations inside their park, which use wireless payment systems, the EMVCo symbol will be displayed.
