A system and method for a universal device accessory (i.e. dongle) that is compatible with various different user devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) that includes functionalities associated with the particular location (e.g. resort, theme park) is described herein. The universal device accessory would be designed specifically for the location in order to provide the user device with a streamlined suite of tools that would allow the user to interact with the location's native software and infrastructure through the user device. In this way, each location may have their own device accessory that facilitates various different user devices (e.g. smartphones, tablets) to be compatible with the software and infrastructure available at that location would simplify user interactions with the location.
