Guest Test of Magic Bands (Official Notice)

[NickyKnack]

I thought I read somewhere they were extending the FP to water parks as well? Any truth to those rumors?

Nobody knows.

But, it's doubtful.

Never heard of that one. Not sure it could function to any great degree there. One Fastpass for a 30 seconds at best slide?

Call me a Debbie Downer, but I still don't like the idea of FP+, especially if they are adding it to attractions that don't need it. It's been proven that Fast Pass actually increased the wait times at some rides and it was removed (POTC and HM). Now they are putting it back on those rides as well as others like Journey Into Imagination and Lights Motors that definitely do not need it.

Last Dec. we used a fast pass for Light, Motors, Action and it was the dumbest thing ever. There was a cast member out front directing people into two lanes, ones with passes and ones without (confusing some people). Since we had them, we had to stop at another cast member who looked at our passes to make sure they were valid (slowing us down). Then we walked on the other side of a chain link fence until we got to the stands area where the line merged with the non-pass people. REally? That was it, that was the fast pass experience. It was just silly.

This is a Test! This is only a Test!

Nobody knows how long it will take to analyze the results.

Nobody knows when the next testing will be!

Nobody knows what will be on the next test!

I'm not sure if I fully understand the FP + system but if it allows me to be in Tomorrowland, check the wait time for BTMR, and reserve a FP without walking across MK I'd be thrilled!! On our last trip my kids wanted to go on Splash Mtn but the line was almost 2 hrs. I grabbed a FP which was only an hr away so we were stuck in Frontier land since it didn't make since to walk too far away in that short time. We ended up hanging out on Tom Sawyer Island for an hr! If this new system does what I want it to I will be thrilled!!

Good point, but the fact that there are no "tiers" in this test give some us hope that the full rollout will also be tier-less.

That would make they system more tear-less for us.

I'll be thrilled if it does what I want too.

I love this! With the a couple of minor word changes this could be my new motto.... "I'll be thrilled if it does what I want it to do"

 

[PrincessArlena'sDad]

That's pretty much everything, except Ellen's 45 Minute Naptime -er, I mean Energy Adventure. And the Circle of Life show in The Land and Turtle Talk? Not counting the various little movies/shows around World Showcase...

Donald's boat ride in Mexico is also not listed, I forget it's name.

Cheshire, is it safe to also add that no one knows what aspects they are actually testing?

"I'll be thrilled if it does what I want it to do"

They'll be thrilled if I do what they want me to do.

Nice!

LOL, isn't that precisely the point? Precisely why they supposedly spent $1B?

 

[mesaboy2]

You just blew my mind.

I totally needed to see this in huge red print. No, I'm not being sarcastic. This just let me decide "ok I'm done" researching and now I can go to bed

Looks like Fantasmic isn't listed for a night time show at DHS, like Illuminations is for EPCOT. I know they were testing passes for Fantasmic earlier in the spring, but...?

Good catch!

And, you'd think with all the seating they have, that this would be the most likely choice for evening show FP+.

Either:
1. The testing of it in the spring didn't go well
2. For the purposes of THIS test, they want people to pick other things for some reason, but for the real roll out, it'll be back.
