This is a positive change. I am not sure how often I will use it since we got the kids used to lanyards and they will probably bulk at me taking them away, but I do see this for a lot of people being a good thing. If it was just myself and my hubby we would switch over. However, the one negative I do see is the coasters, you would still need your pass for express after 4.

They obviously didn't think that far ahead

or this was an idea created by someone who doesn't ride coasters, so it didn't cross their mind

I mean they didn't take passes away, so it will be fine 90% of the time. So I still think it overall is a positive improvement to the app. Dining ordering is also improved along with the map looking better. Still not impressed with the filtering and lists of rides. But baby steps I guess.

They should add charging stations for phones because app use (and endless photos) will drain your battery if you're at the park open-close. Unless you have an ankr charging block with you.

Even the new center of Epcot advertises outlets.
