What's New?

I know that is probably a loaded question, but here's a bit 'o background. I took annual WDW trips 1999-2010, then stopped while I earned a doctorate degree, and am now looking at planning at least one trip for next spring. So what's your opinions of new stuff since summer 2010? Magic bands? Memory maker?
Thanks!

The New Fantasyland is great, Be our guest restaurant specifically.
As far as magic bands, we like them and find them easy to use
We love Memory Maker!!! I know there are some varying opinions but we have some amazing pics from our last two trips with MM

We went in 2009 and didn't go back until December of last year. I really loved the FP+ system. I know a lot of people don't, but it worked out really well for us.

Memory Maker was so awesome, too! I think it's a must for us now. If you like to meet characters it is especially valuable.

The Magic Bands were just ok to us. We had fun decorating them and such, but after a few days we were sick of wearing them. Are they useful? Yes for the most part. We took them off for the Christmas party and just used our hard tickets and it was a nice break.
