magic band

[ArielSparrow]

I hope the whole-shebang is rolled out by early September. It sounds wonderful and I look forward to the "magic" this technology provides. I'm staying offsite so would probably purchase PhotoPass+ package to be able to partake in this. I already know I want one in blue. I'd want a pirate themed but not willing to go beyond the price of the base.

I'm just a little concerned about the limited FP you can obtain with FP+, especially since it seems that you can only get one E-ticket attraction and then some less popular ones. I'm hoping that's only because of the testing phase and not completely reflective of the finished program.

They are out right now for cast member only testing and even the cast members have a hard time getting them right now its very limited and I would say it should be at guest testing at least by November if not rolling out for full use but they have pushed release back already so who knows what's going to happen.

They are also testing them with select guests. They are testing with a handful of guests arriving at Animal Kingdom resort June 21-23. I only know this because we were contacted to test it. They are testing it with the FAST PASS+. In April they tested with just minimal capabilities.

I really hope that it's out by sept! I am also hoping the touch to pay is up for food and wine that will be so much easier not needing money!

~Wow!!! When did you get this? I want one, lol. Anyway, this is so awesome. Thanks so much for sharing pics of these fabulous bands, and in pink!!! You totally made my day. Please let us know how this works for you. I think you are going to have a fabulous time using the bands. One poster here said she felt like a VIP rockstar or something like that. Anyway, have fun!!!`

I really hope that it's out by sept! I am also hoping the touch to pay is up for food and wine that will be so much easier not needing money!

~I'm hoping along with you!!! I think it would be awesome to use the bands for Food and Wine. I didn't even think of this. Anyway, it doesn't seem likely, but you never know. You may have good chance of participating in a test -- either way I hope you get to use a band.

Alcoholic beverages will still require a photo id.
Judging by the press releases I too hope that sept. This will be enabled for all onsite guests.

And we/I can hope AP/DVC members too
