Mandadi is now going over the various digital ventures added this year to help keep guests connected to the Disney Parks during this year’s COVID-19 closures.

We just got a look at an Augmented Reality training program used to train Attractions cast members on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance!

New “Disney Parks Metaverse” experiences are now in development to connect guests both with the physical and digital offerings at the parks - like the Windows to the Wild augmented reality program testing at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Just got a look at the previously-announced Disney Genie vacation planning tool, now just titled “Genie.” Not much was shown beyond a glimpse of the UI.
