It begins when you book your hotel and tickets through Disney. After that, you are able to plan every detail on your trip from airport to hotel transportation. Additionally you can also schedule when your visit to each theme park is, where you would like to dine for meals. Moreover, you are allowed to pre-order your food. You don’t need to endure waiting in a super long line when you are hungry. Also, the tracking power is extremely important for Disney theme park because it helps Disney determine when to add more staff at ride, what restaurants should serve, what souvenirs should be stocked and how many employees in costume should roam around at any given time.
Accesso Prism
Accesso Prism is a wearable device that shines a new light on your experience.

TapuTapu
Universal’s Vocalno Bay water park will also join the wearable world in 2017 with TapuTapu. You will receive new TapuTapu wearables when you enter the park. The TapuTapu will let you virtually wait in line while you are playing in other areas of the park. You will get an alert when it’s your turn to ride.
