Mickey Mouse is so cute, isn’t he? Don’t you ever wish you could just take him home with you? Seriously — imagine being able to talk to Mickey, Minnie, or Goofy whenever you wanted. Who needs a Disney World park ticket when you’ve got THE Genie himself right inside your home!
We love Mickey!
Well, starting now, that dream could become a reality! No, we’re not suggesting that you pack poor Mickey into your suitcase and take him home (that’s kidnapping — yikes!). Instead, we’re talking about the NEW Hey, Disney! technology available for home use starting NOW!
If you’re unfamiliar, Hey, Disney! is essentially an extension of the Amazon Alexa devices made specifically for all things Disney! The service works with Alexa on various Amazon devices, and can help tell Disney stories, play games (like Disney trivia!), and help with those normal tasks like telling you the weather, setting timers, and more.
Hey, Disney!
Remember what we said earlier about talking to Mickey Mouse from your own home? Well, Hey, Disney! allows users to hear from a wide range of characters, like Mickey Mouse, Rocket, Groot, Dory, and even C-3PO. All you have to do is say, “Alexa, introduce me to Hey, Disney!” to begin (once you purchase the Hey, Disney! skill on Amazon). For all your non-Disney needs, you can still ask Alexa.
Hey Disney is Amazon’s latest collaboration with Disney!
We’ve already seen Hey, Disney! in action in a few Disney World hotels, and we’ve used the service to request extra towels, check the park hours, and even get dining recommendations! Now if only a friendly Cast Member could deliver fresh towels to us at home, too.

Looking to bring a little Disney magic home? The new Hey, Disney! skill is an add-on feature you can purchase on your Amazon Alexa device. The “Hey, Disney!” phrase works with most voice-activated Amazon Echo devices, EXCEPT the Echo Show 15, 1st gen Echo, Echo Auto, Fire Tablets, Fire TV, and On-the-Go devices.

If you don’t already own an Amazon Echo device, this might be the perfect time to invest! These devices are great for streaming music, setting timers in the kitchen (hands-free!), and connecting to your other smart-home devices.
You can also use Hey Disney! with the Echo Dot!

There’s also a smaller Amazon Echo Dot product that has tons of helpful features! This one is perfect for a nightstand or side table — and it makes a great alarm clock, too.

If you want to feel like you’re living in a Disney World hotel, you can take it one step further and upgrade your Echo Show device with a Disney-themed stand. This one has those signature Mickey ears and red shorts. Isn’t it cute?
We’ve been waiting for Hey, Disney! to make its way to our homes, so now’s the time to start sharpening your Disney trivia skills and making space on your counter for a Mickey-shaped Echo stand. In the meantime, we’re always on the lookout for the latest Disney news, so stay tuned for more.
