CONFIRMED: Bus Wait Times Coming to the My Disney Experience App for Walt Disney World Resort Guests

This is literally the one update that I have been wanting to the app for YEARS!!!

Headline is a bit misleading. The fine print says that at time of maximum sunlight it will provide up to 25 percent of its power requirement.

Yeah but.....
Golly, gee, whiz.
With the "extra" hour of sunlight we get from DST it'll be even more efficient.

CONFIRMED: Bus Wait Times Coming to the My Disney Experience App for Walt Disney World Resort Guests

FINALLY!!!

Any rumours of being able to see bus times to resorts from the parks as well? Those are the ones missing the time boards, so it would be amazing to be able to see whether a bus is finally coming for your resort to leave Disney Springs, for example.

Limited Release Walt Disney World YesterEars Tees and MagicBand

So, yesterday I thought I ordered the Figment and Mickey shirt and MB. Today I got an email from Disney Guest Services that the shirt and MB aren't available. So I went and checked on the Disney Shop, and they are both still listed, so I reordered the MB. I'm guessing they haven't updated the website, but thought I'd try again. I will be contacting Guest Services because my shop Disney experience has not been magical the last three times I've ordered stuff.

I think it's been discussed on the other parking threads. Perhaps there might be some angst within other disboards threads and facebook groups but once an explanation is made people should realize it's because of the agreements already in place, not due to special treatment. Once you arrive to the resort, there's probably no way of knowing whether or not someone has paid for parking unless you overhear them talk about it.

While you and I may know that, people's feelings aren't rational.

Biometric Facial Recognition Technology Coming to Orlando International Airport

So I've been mulling this over. In late August we're going to Jamaica. On our way there we connect in FLL but on the way back home due to flight times we'll connect in MCO. So I'm intrigued on if this will be implemented by then and how it will all feel.

I've only had to go through Customs once coming back from St. Lucia but it was through ATL.

Interesting...So, this stop gets to have people separated, but the other stops will still be the same? I don't understand the need for the change.

I believe this will be the new main bus stop.

Doesn't it seem like we are talking 2020 for this one? I can't believe it will be drawn out to 2021.

Hmmmm....this makes me wonder. There's a lot of talk over on the Gondola thread about how CBR will handle buses to Epcot and DHS. I wonder if we could see that while they don't eliminate buses altogether to those two parks, that if you want to go to either one, you have to first take an internal bus or walk to Old Port Royale to transfer to Epcot or DHS. I can't imagine them getting rid of the bus stops around the resort though - even with taking out 30% of the buildings its still pretty spread out.

Spring 2020 I believe for Rat. Tron is 2021.

That’s a possibility I haven’t thought about.

I find it hard to believe ANY of the current projects will take until 2021 except for Tron and maybe Guardians. Over 3 years to build a single ride seems insane.
