Walt Disney World Tech News & Discussion- Magic Bands, Genie+, and more

As long as they still offer the inexpensive option in addition to this new one standby is still broken. Yea I wish WDW would move to a system more like UOR, but it doesn’t work if they still keep the old one too.

The cheapest price for the MK premier pass is the same price as a two park unlimited express pass on Christmas Day. I think that’s the biggest issue.

Hoping this starts as a phased transition into just the newer "all-included" pass, but we shall see. Way too often are standby lines backed up due to attraction downtime, and standby to ll ratios become painful.

Last night at Epcot before the post race party and just this morning at DHHS, magic bands and tickets are being scanned without fingerprint validation.

Is this when things are busy or are they potentially phasing them out? Could streamline entrance into the parks.

It is common procedure to skip fingerprint when line is backed up. For safety purposes they need to push people through faster and this is the way they do it usually.

Yeah that’s a speed thing. Or for some ticket types… just a thing.
