I think right now the limitations are how to limit the use of the app to only editing DAK reservations for those guests who are physically present day of ... hence why everyone offsite must use the kiosks. Once this is rolled out on a larger scale, this would not be an issue.

More reasons why I think Disney will be pushing for all Guests to eventually use the app ... It is much more convienient for me to view, create, alter, or cancel my FP+ selections while waiting in a 5 hour artificially inflated standby line for ITTBAB than to search out a kiosk and make my...

I believe that once this system goes live and all guests will be able to utilize the MDE app that is the direction Disney will be pushing Guests to... therefore the kiosks will be in place to support those who experience issues with the app or those without the technology to support / access the...

The MagicBand for AP will hold their ticket media, photopass, interaction with enhanced ques, potential FP+ entitlements and other enhancements. Pretty much similar to your current AP just with the additional paper rolled into one band. I believe you are really trying to ask "How will FP+ on...

I think my utter frustration while looking through this site (and others) is the focus of of the sites turns to FP+ and immediately associates the MagicBand as a "FP+ band". MM+ is an all encompassing tool that will continue to be developed and evolved. FP+ is just one part of MM+, not the...

This however does not counteract the over-generalizations you are making in your original post. I am sorry to say but there are some people who crunch numbers, work on cost cutting, budgets, plans, etc for TWDC (including having worked within the confines of the big, bad TDO) who frequent this...

I suppose this comment must be interpreted with a mutual understanding of the term "worker bees." For me this is hourly front-line CMs. Therefore, I am not sure that this would be the case if you were to review the layoffs in 2009.

I would not be so quick to judge this comment. Have you ever participated in the forecasting/budgeting process at the Walt Disney Company?

And may I ask (and not to start any "mud-slinging coversation) but how do you know that? How do you know that it is not pushed down onto TDO and not onto another resort (as each resort has different customer bases, products, costs, performance expectations, etc)? Therefore, TDO may be coerced...

I stand and applaud you! As one of corporate "bean counter/MBA" types that are constantly thrown around on this site, I find it very "petty and trite." Quite honestly, I laugh at whatever you are saying and move on. If only everyone here could spend time working within big bad TDO... you may...

Found this interesting information in the Terms and Conditions... "You are required to convert paper tickets and passes in order to make and use FastPass+ selections. Once you convert a ticket or pass you will no longer be able to participate in the standard FASTPASS service upon arrival at the...

As this thread is regrettably revisited, I find it once again very amusing how invested individuals get in others actions. Unless we have a ton of people who are working for the parks on this site, I am not sure where it some peoples places to get up in arms about the actions of others. Do what...

It is very refreshing to read a thread where a large number of the people can speak knowledgeably about some of the financial landscape of the Walt Disney Company. I would remind many people here however, that WDW is part of an entertainment conglomerate and when upper management of the Company...

I find it quite amusing that many people on these threads believe that the company does not know what it is doing with the next gen initiative or believe that it is the responsibility of the company to provide full details as to their purpose behind the initiative as if to prove its...

There are just a few things to remember here while discussing the film industry... 1) From a movie receiving the greenlight to theatrical release there is usually a significant gap. As Rich Ross was only head of the studios for 2.5 years or so, many of the "hits" and "flops" we have seen...
