Disney World just lost one of its most popular personalization services. D-Tech, the custom phone case kiosks that let guests create unique Disney-themed accessories, has officially closed its final location at Magic Kingdom.
The last operating MaDe customization stations inside Tomorrowland Launch Depot shut down on December 31, 2025, marking New Year’s Eve as the final day guests could order personalized phone cases, watch bands, magnets, or headphone cases through this service.
What D-Tech Offered Disney World
For years, D-Tech provided guests with the opportunity to create customized technology accessories featuring Disney designs. The service operated through touchscreen kiosks where you could browse extensive libraries of Disney artwork, select your favorite designs, add personalization like names or dates, and order custom products.
Phone cases were the most popular items, as almost everyone travels with smartphones that require protective cases. But the service extended beyond just phones. You could create personalized Apple Watch bands, MagicBands with custom designs, magnets for your refrigerator, and cases for wireless headphones.
The appeal was creating something truly unique. Unlike buying a pre-made Disney phone case off the shelf that thousands of other people own, D-Tech allows you to combine specific artwork with personal touches, making the product one-of-a-kind.
Disney fans got excited whenever new designs launched, expanding the creative options and keeping the service feeling fresh. The artwork library included classic characters, modern franchises, park-specific imagery, and seasonal designs.
The Gradual Phase-Out at Disney World
D-Tech didn’t disappear all at once. The closure happened gradually over several years as Disney systematically shut down locations across the resort.
At one point, multiple D-Tech stations were operated throughout Walt Disney World, providing guests with numerous opportunities to access the service, regardless of which parks they visited. The Disney Springs location offered a convenient option for guests not visiting the theme parks that day.
That Disney Springs location closed toward the end of 2025, leaving only the Magic Kingdom stations as the last remaining D-Tech kiosks. Now those have closed too, completely eliminating the service from Disney World.
All the ordering kiosks at Tomorrowland Launch Depot now display messages stating “This ordering station is currently closed.” Cast Members working there confirmed the December 31 closure date, making it official.
Why It Ended
Though D-Tech featured prominent Disney branding and operated inside Disney retail locations, the service was actually run by a third-party company rather than directly by Disney. The closure reflects Disney’s decision not to renew the contract with this provider.
This fits a broader pattern of Disney reevaluating third-party partnerships when contracts expire. The TRON Identity Program, another third-party personalization offering in the same Tomorrowland space, also recently closed.
Disney appears to be reassessing which third-party services align with current operational strategies and whether these partnerships still serve guest experience priorities.
Clearance Merchandise Available
While you can’t order custom, personalized products, pre-made D-Tech merchandise remains available at Tomorrowland Launch Depot as Disney clears its existing inventory.
Phone cases, headphone cases, and Apple Watch bands are already marked down to $20, representing a significant discount from original pricing. This creates an opportunity to purchase Disney-branded accessories at reduced cost, even without personalization.
Magnets haven’t been discounted yet, but Cast Members have indicated that price reductions are coming soon as Disney works through its remaining stock. These clearance sales represent your final opportunity to purchase D-Tech products before the inventory is depleted completely.
What This Means For Disney World Guests
The D-Tech closure eliminates a popular option for guests who enjoyed creating personalized Disney souvenirs. For people who made customizing phone cases part of their Disney vacation routine, this represents loss of a familiar activity.
Families who returned to D-Tech each trip to create new accessories reflecting their current visits no longer have this option. The interactive element of designing products, browsing artwork libraries, and picking up finished items added engagement beyond typical souvenir shopping.
Other Personalization Still Exists
D-Tech isn’t the only personalization option at Disney World, though it was unique in its focus on technology accessories.
Mickey ears can still be embroidered with names at merchandise locations throughout parks and Disney Springs. Christmas ornaments provide a personal touch during the holiday season. MagicBands can be customized through the My Disney Experience app before your trip. EPCOT’s France and Italy Pavilions offer perfume bottle engraving for guests purchasing luxury fragrances.
However, none of these directly replaces D-Tech’s specific combination of technology accessories and onsite customization with extensive Disney artwork.
The End of This Tech Era
The final D-Tech closure on December 31, 2025, marks the end of an era of personalized technology accessories at Disney World. Guests who valued creating custom Disney phone cases and related products need to seek alternative souvenirs or look outside Disney World for personalized tech accessories.
For anyone who enjoyed D-Tech over the years, the clearance merchandise at Tomorrowland Launch Depot offers one last chance to purchase products from this now-defunct service before it disappears completely from Disney World history.
