One last IT item to share, and then it is back to planning our trip in Sept. Big data is current wave. Applications do grow a bit over time, but data is constantly being collected in every corporation. The servers that hold that data have to grow and expand and it is expensive equipment to...

Forgot about the doors. After the first day or two, just took off the band and held it up to the reader. Impossible for anyone with large hands.

When I worked for Sprint, we were routinely served with warrants from DA's regarding cell phone information (your Yellows for the Law and Order fans out there). They usually came from our legal department and although I don't know the criteria, nor do I know how many were rejected by legal, we...

It actually increases FP+ bookings. Legacy FP let people take a ticket for a FP and redemption was not guaranteed. I think that I have read somewhere that it was around 70%. With FP+ if you change your selections, what you get rid of goes back into the pool for someone at a kiosk to select...

As this thread is titled Lines at the FP+ entrance, I do think that there is an on topic comment that needs to be made. The MB readers are not very ergonomically designed. Most people wear the MB on their wrist like a bracelet. Seems to me that the MB reader portion should be face down, maybe...

Was emailed a LONG survey from Disney after our trip in September. Literally took 30 minutes to complete.

They wouldn't sell the internal operation information to a competitor, but they would sell raw data about milk consumption to the American Dairy Association regarding how many half pints of milk were sold (as opposed to water, soda, beer, etc) on a day where 20k people were in MK and it was 85...

Wow...let me preface that I had to look up Blue Ocean strategy. My life has been largely technical and without a business degree, economic theory books from Harvard don't regularly make their way into my life. :-0 That said, I think that a company the size of TWDC that has diverse holdings has...

Well, I will lead with, I am not a Disney employee, so this is just speculation. But, MM+, from my perspective is a capital improvement that will take years to see a profit. We obviously can only see the client facing potions of the application, so it is hard to tell how all developed it is...

Thanks wog for the greeting!

I sincerely believe that at some point before summer, park hopping will be added to FP+. I think that as part of the park hopper package, you will get no more than 2 per park, but I do think that it is coming. This is still all a beta test (albeit when everyone going into the system is...

One more personal story regarding FP+. When we used them in September, lines at the initial scan point did tend to get bogged down by people who did not have a MB, trying to get into the queue. Several times we encountered groups who simply tried to walk into the FP+ line without a paper...

As a large scale IT Program Manager, I think that I see the trap that most people on the forum are falling into. FP+ was not designed to enhance the guest experience. It is a data collection tool, plain and simple. By encouraging guests to pre-plan their attraction visits, the data engineers...
