Disney News, Discussion & an Element of Fun!

[BrianL]

Thank you, no way I'm buying it ahead of time then, my trip is for ten days and I know that I don't need it for AK or EPCOT. Going to play it by ear to see how things go when I'm down there, but honestly the fact that I can only ride a ride once a day with the Genie+, then I have to wait in line, is a problem for me. I should be able to choose how many times I want to ride a specific ride.

If you have an AP, is there any discount on G+?

The nice thing is thqat you can get it for one day then not for the days you don't want or need it. I would do this with MAxPass - get it on day one and use the heck out of it, ride everything. After that at DL the next day or two was gravy, so I didn't need the MaxPass anyway. Of course you could still pull manual FPs with that system, but still, I didn't have to run crazy trying to check things off the list, you know?

I mean, I know we always talk about them being able to track us electronically but this makes it so in your face. Feels very big brother.

They've had the welcome to the park greeting for at least a couple of years. It just looks different now

Yeah, it reads whose magic bands are nearby and throws up the first name, and sometimes the home town (the blocked out red bit) of random guests

IF you ever heaven forbid lose track of a child while there, you will forever love this ability.

If you turn off Location Services for MDE (don't allow your phone to tell MDE where you are), you won't be tracked electronically.

Except for your Magicband.

You're right! Forgot about that - so I guess if someone doesn't want to be tracked, don't use a MB, right? Do the hard plastic ticket cards track people too?
