Great choice! I absolutely love Biergarten!

I agree that those are issues, but they are not insurmountable obstacles to producing a quality product. I have been a software developer for 15 years and I have personally led projects that involved huge data migrations from antiquated systems. I know the ins and outs of such projects. Even...

You should stick to hardware Flynn, because you are way off base here. I'm starting to think that you just argue for the sake of arguing. Any development team that is charged with the task of data migration of ADRs darn well better either know or be willing to learn everything they need to...

Where I work that wouldn't be acceptable. I doubt that it would be most other places either. You just can't do a large data migration without making sure that all of your data will migrate. Not unless you want a lot of unhappy customers, anyhow... If you have bad data you find it and fix it...

ROFL!

True, nothing was 'lost'. That's why I used the words 'couldn't find'. It sure caused a lot of people some major anxiety though, which in turn caused trust issues. There were also a lot of folks who made new ADRs because they thought the old ones were lost. Those duplicates most likely kept...

They will be rolling out a new guest service for restroom reservations called GasPass+.

Hmmm.... I seem to remember a lot of talk recently about how Disney rolled out their new website and suddenly people couldn't find their ADRs online. You really trust them to get it right? I'll believe it when I see it. ;)

Don't feel bad. I can't do the Segway tours either. Not because of my age (I passed 16 long ago), but because I don't weigh enough. You have to be at least 100lbs to make the Segways go. You'll age, but I'll be puny for life... ;)

Youuuuu raaaannnnng???? (in my best Lurch voice) ;) Sorry, between my day job and my business I haven't had much time to do more than keep caught up on the conversation. I think that when Iger chose the phrase 'not GPS-based', he chose his words very carefully. While it is true, it is also...

Not in the slightest. With push notifications, no CM is necessary.

Child molester??? Where did that come from? He was talking about Disney peddling merchandise to your child.

Unfortunately, that is what they are counting on. They are counting on the folks who are blinded by the coolness of the new technology and those that don't take the time to understand it, and those that frankly don't care 'because it's Disney and they could never do anything that wasn't...

I fear that you have fallen victim to the 'cool stuff'. There is more to NextGen than the MagicBand and don't forget that even though the band is not GPS enabled, there are other ways to do geolocation, namely wi-fi triangulation. And yes, the MagicBands *do* contain a wi-fi transmitter. In...

Yes, it is creepy. That is why a growing number of us have reservations about it. There is a lot more under the hood than concierge type services and experiences.

Nope... If you were really a software developer you would have explained that using terms like recursion and multiple inheritance... :p

I think I wore out my like button finger getting caught up on this thread. I will be watching how all of this unfolds very closely before deciding whether to make my reservations for this coming fall. It was only a matter of time before MyMagic+ was vetted in the court of public opinion and I...

Are you ready to give up FP+ if you opt out?

There is a lot to read on @WDW1974's thread, but it is definitely worth a read if you value your personal privacy and that of your children. Here is the cliff notes version of what you need to know about COPPA as it applies to Next Gen and My Magic+: 1. COPPA (the Children’s Online Privacy...

We're working on moving south ourselves. Now if the economy would only improve so we can sell our house and find employment in a warmer climate! It is -7now BTW. Brrrrrrr!
