Yeah, I get that. The key thing is the access to make FastPass+ reservations in advance. I don't really care whether or not the medium is a plastic RFID card or a MagicBand. Without that, the system is worthless. Making day of FastPass+ reservations at a kiosk is crap! According to the...

"Disney's Hollywood Studios will transition from legacy paper FASTPASS to FastPass+ on January 21, and Epcot will follow on January 23 2014. This will complete the FastPass+ rollout for all guests at all Walt Disney World theme parks." Looks like the screw-job is complete. Getting to the parks...

No, but I will say that EMH have ruined Hollywood Studios on Saturdays for my family. If you get there at 9AM, the standby line for TSMM will already be 60 minutes, RNR will be 45, and TOT will be 30. That's crazy for 9AM! To make matters worse, the FastPass return time will be 2-3PM. And it's...

MK and AK have gotten rid of legacy paper FastPass and transitioned fully to FastPass+. I'm afraid that APs will not be joining in the "fun" anytime soon. Look at the number of FastPass+ kiosks that they have put in at MK. You don't have to be a genius to figure out that Disney has no intention...

We received ours inside one of those Mickey Monitor booklets they mail out to passholders.

NO.

Yeah, I went from thinking my AP sticker/magnet was really cool to being completely turned off by seeing so many of them. People will undoubtedly take this the wrong way, but I hate when you see that AP magnet on a piece of crap car that you know has no business spending that kind of money on...

Ok, I've decided to bite the bullet and book a resort stay for one night in order to receive magic bands for my family. Waiting until "testing" is complete is just not gonna cut it. Not to throw this discussion off topic, but does anyone know whether or not guests at the Swan and Dolphin are now...

If you can't make advance Fastpass reservations, then what's the point? I'm not going to arrive at a park at the butt crack of dawn to wait for the rope to drop so that I can make a mad dash to the nearest Fastpass kiosk so that I "might" get a Fastpass for one of the good rides. That is...

Considering that Annual Passes are now $494.16 for WDW for everyone 3 years and older, I'd say they are getting plenty of money from the average family with passes. Let's just consider this for a second. They are getting roughly $1500 a year just for the passes for my family. We typically eat at...

That makes me very happy! I started this thread mainly to vent about my personal frustration with this whole lack of appreciation issue. I'm glad to see that there are so many of us on the same page about this. Getting a large number of people ed off is unfortunately the only way to get...

Why should APs have anything less than three FP+ reservations per day just like everyone else? Who is really going to go to the trouble of going online and making reservations every day of the week and then not show up? If someone does that, they REALLY have too much free time and obviously...

If that is true, then that is even more reason that Disney should go ahead and give APs at WDW FULL MyMagic privileges with magic bands and all. If we really make up such a minuscule percentage of their customer pie, then it would not detract from their precious resort guests' experience.

Usually we do get to whatever park we're going to at rope drop, but what if I decide that maybe I don't want to drive over from Tampa at the butt crack of dawn and would rather get there in the afternoon so that my kid can see the fireworks and parade. I guess we won't be enjoying any of the...

Now that mymagic is expanding to all WDW resorts, all of those guests will be allowed to go online and make Fastpass choices while APs are left to use paper old school Fastpass or visit a kiosk the day of! Am I missing something here? Way to take care of your most loyal customers Disney.

Ok, I have been an annual pass holder for 7 years now and have never been to WDW for NYE. I am considering taking the wife and kid this year. We won't have a hotel, we will go day of, and we are not concerned with drinking or partying it up. We just want to take it all in, watch some fireworks...

I honestly think the degeneration of F&W is a recent development. (As in, maybe the last 2-3 years.) The first time I ever went was 7 years ago on a Saturday in October. It was such an awesome experience that I've chosen to bring my family back at least once every year since then. I guess I've...

That sounds quite miserable. Maybe F&W truly has degenerated into the realm of being purely a 'singles' event, better fit for bachelorette parties and frat boy binge drinking sessions than for families. Disney didn't get rid of Pleasure Island, they moved it to World Showcase!

My wife is trying to talk me into going today. Her thinking is that Sunday won't be as busy as Saturday. We have been every year for the past 7 years. I too have noticed the increased crowds, higher prices, and more drunkies. As you can tell by my profile picture, I am a bit of a cigar...

Anyone that isn't blown away by this concept art is absolutely crazy! The problem is, can they realize that concept art? I am hopeful, but doubtful.
