That would be really cool

Just did a google image search and found this picture. https://www.google.com/search?q=dis...wUMbAIYb50gGOj4H4Ag#biv=i|6;d|IscfqEgjyd-9kM: So it looks like the image we saw in OP's link was the underside of the bracelet and the top is just the Mickey head. And possible color options? That is, if this random picture I came across from an unknown/unreliable source (I didn't really look into it) is to believed for anything.
Edit: The picture I'm referring to is the one (currently) on the second row with the rainbow of bands.
But that pic is over a year old and is from the early design stage. It looks about right but I doubt they would have included all the FCC and everything else they have now.
It's passive RFID, not active.
See, this is what's so nice about this place: people to do the research for you! Had I noticed the August '11 date the first time around, I obviously wouldn't have bothered. Carry on.
Yes I am assuming that they will be removable. I doubt its going to be like a ankle monitor.
Didn't this all get hashed out a year ago?
Have you ever be to an all-inclusive resort in the Caribbeans or Mexico? Those little cheap plastic bracelets sure are hard to remove!!!
~That's a very reliable source! They had all the Next Gen info before anyone else!Just did a google image search and found this picture. https://www.google.com/search?q=dis...wUMbAIYb50gGOj4H4Ag#biv=i|6;d|IscfqEgjyd-9kM: So it looks like the image we saw in OP's link was the underside of the bracelet and the top is just the Mickey head.

You mean they are like hospital bracelets?

~Obviously, this isn't for everyone, which is why the bracelets will be optional for purchase, so there is no need to worry, you will be able to continue using the KTTW card.
I think it's an all-around bad idea as well even though something clearly needs to be done to fix the existing system.
What's wrong with the current system?
And which system?
- door locks
- FP
- Photo Pass
- room charging
- personalized experiences
- tracking your every move (which they do now to some extent)
chartle said:Well they would have to convert all the turnstiles, FP machines, Photopass readers, cash registers and hotel door locks (did I miss any?). I think its going to take a bit of time.
It could be done in phases but then you would have to carry this and a KTTW card.
As for door locks I know they installed them at AoA because they were all new but I thought I had heard that they may have started at some other resorts. Also how many attractions have the new readers?
