We use RF technology to enhance your experience at Walt Disney World Resort. RF Technology at Walt Disney World Resort RF technology has been in use at Walt Disney World Resort for many years, such as in ride and parade control float systems and laundry and costuming services.

We continue to expand ways to use this common technology to create new and amazing Guest experiences and enhanced Guest service.
