You can also ask the Disney Magical Companion for fun facts or riddles by a variety of guest comedians like Goofy, Fozzie Bear and Mater – the (humorous) opportunities are endless!
4. Soundscapes
Have you ever wanted to drift off to a galaxy far, far away with a Star Wars soundscape? Inspired by the sights and sounds of Disney universes, movies, and content, simply say “Hey Disney, play a soundscape” to be transported to another land from “Coco,” “Frozen,” and more.
3. Trivia
True or false: EPCOT originally stood for “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow”? It’s time to show off your Disney trivia skills! Packed with over 300 questions about Disney parks, characters, movies, and history, each round is hosted by the Disney Magical Companion. Get ready for some friendly competition by saying, “Hey Disney, play Trivia.” PS. The answer is: “True.”
2. Play-Along Adventures
