Disney characters coming to Amazon Alexa with ‘Hey Disney’ command

Amazon said Disney lovers will soon be able to bring beloved characters into their homes and Disney Resort hotel rooms using Amazon’s Alexa. 

The Hey Disney experience is slated to launch later this year. 

However, Amazon offered a sneak preview during a demonstration at the Consumer Electronics Show.
