Seems kinda hard to prove - as Disney even did similar a concept before themselves with Cranium Command

Plus the TV show Herman's Head .... just feels like a concept that has been around for a while and hard to prove who came up with it initially

Plus Walt's Reason and Emotion short back in 1941.

It's not unique concept and Disney itself has used it multiple times.

This actually kind of excites me. The CMs that work the stops are so much fun to talk to.

The CMs in World Showcase are often some of the best we interact with all vacation - they usually love to talk about where they are from and are just excited to be there

Although it's a cliche, I like to talk to them about the weather in their country and how it compares to the oppressive summer heat in Florida.

Hopefully it works well and can be a good tool to help people while waiting in long lines for the Toy Story Rides, unprotected from the sun!

Disney is now requiring guests to get a receipt to park at the theme parks even if you don't pay. It could be a new way of tracking parking. For example an AP gets a receipt saying parking is comped with a total of $0 on the receipt.

They may be moving to Disneyland’s model. At Disneyland I get a ticket printout when they scan my AP (parking is included with my pass). If I leave and come back to the parking lot on the same day I have to show my AP and the ticket printout to re park without being charged the parking fee.

It was at Epcot today. Maybe it is just a test.

That would make sense as Epcot is always the most strict when it comes to parking validation

Disney should just tag on a 10 dollar one time fee for a car "magic band" for AP holders and have a system that just scans for it, that comes up with AP holders face, The person pulls up, the car is scanned the parking attendent looks at the persons face to see if it matchs and just waves them in. The car magic band would be specific to the car and the AP card holder. The AP card holder would have to be in the Car, and if the AP card holder needs a second "car magic band" they can just pay another 10 dollar fee. But hey thats my idea

Hopefully this isn't a stepping point to charging for parking period though I could see that.

On the other end of the spectrum it was really a toss up both at All-Stars and at the theme parks if they would scan our MB versus just look at it and waive us on by. We drove to 2 parks per day for 5 days total too so I can see where this allows them to actually keep better track of things. Hopefully though it doesn't slow down the process too too much. Being bogged down at a pay booth has always been a slight annoyance to me lol.

So if I took my AP receipt and gave it to someone else after I left, does that mean that person(s) can enter without charge? I must be missing something in the tracking mechanisms.

I don’t believe so.
