    FastPass+’s Possible Impact on Standby Lines

    We're lucky if we get to the parks before noon. :) We have never used FP much at all in the past, maybe one a day for the really popular attractions and the rest of the time we would just wander around and do whatever tickled our fancy. That's why we go in the fall. What worries me is that...

    FastPass+’s Possible Impact on Standby Lines

    Sad but true. Disneyland is looking better all of the time. If they only had a campground I'd be making reservations now. :)

    FastPass+’s Possible Impact on Standby Lines

    Logging into the MyMagic app every hour just so I can try to score a FP for TSMM doesn't sound very magical to me. What happened to slowing down and stopping to take in the sights and smell the roses when you are on vacation? What happened to just relaxing when you are on vacation for that...

    I think that was the point that @WDW1974 was trying to make way back when he first mentioned the recent changes to COPPA. They do have to prove their need to someone, although it doesn't say to whom. All that Disney needs is the right beaurocrats in their pockets and they are off scott free...

    September 2013 roll call!

    We could have had a WDWMagic meeting of the minds. :)

    COPPA has never prohibited the selling of information collected from children to third parties. It simply requires the consent of an adult for anyone under the age of 13 for the website/company to collect the information in the first place and it requires them to identify the third party...

    Linking room reservations already falls under 'internal operations' but under COPPA, they wouldn't be able to use that information along with the information that they collect from the RFID devices without the loophole.

    WDW Fan Survey?

    When I was at the MK last Sept I was approached by a CM and asked to take a survey. I sat down at a computer terminal and the questions I answered were remarkably similar to those in the survey results from your link. So it looks like they are doing or have already done one at WDW too. I wonder...

    September 2013 roll call!

    There is a good possibility that we will be there the beginning of Sept. We would probably be leaving a few days before you arrive though. :(

    The last part is the key: Unless... 4. Disney is able to classify the linking of Johnny Jr and Johnny Sr's FP+ data as a part of their 'internal operations'. If they can convince the 'powers that be' that linking Johnny Jr and Johnny Sr's data is an essential part of their 'internal operations'...

    I forgot one: 5. Then Disney can contact Johnny Jr to their hearts content through whatever means they see fit.

    Here are the thoughts on this that I have put together in my pretty little head: 1. According to COPPA: Without parental consent, personal information about a child younger than 13 may never be used or disclosed to contact a specific individual, including through behavioral advertising, to amass...

    Yep! Lots of wildlife at the Fort. But hey... It's a wilderness! There have even been bears and aligators and of course there are these guys:

    Have you ever got into any mischief at Disney World?

    I have a girlfriend who likes to say out loud 'I dare you to pinch that guy', and then she will pinch them when she is walking behind someone with her husband. I'm amazed that her husband hasn't been beaten to a pulp by the unsuspecting men lucky enough to be walking in front of them... :eek:

    Wow! I'm flattered that you would consider me a 'go to person' :) I do have some experience with RFID and also COPPA, but I wouldn't consider myself an expert. My experience with RFID technology goes way back to the days of designing software interfaces to railroad readers (one of the...
