Walking past dollars to grab pennies.

How Disney looks at guests:

 

[Casper Gutman]

Good to know Disney isn’t panicking.

As a fan of MBs - especially MB2.0 - I wish they supported/push them more

Maybe they are fid ing more people are just using their phones so less demand? Or just people who want it will pay full price/the $10 credit wasn't generating extra sales?

I find using my phone at the park entrance and Lightning Lanes to be super obnoxious with a family of 4.

I think this is great. In one day, Disney has singlehandedly driven away countless numbers of potential future guests.

Are they Clueless? Out of Touch? Greedy? Incompetent?

Yes.

Yes.

They certainly swung for the fences today.

 

[Prince-1]

Never wore a MB and ain't starting now.

 

[KDM31091]

Wow. Just wow. It costs them probably a couple bucks and they can’t give a fairly insignificant discount? I know they don’t “have” to but they need all the goodwill they can get right now

Anytime you take something away from a resort guest, it's infuriating.

This is super lame by them. Hope they catch hell about this on social media.

Name your influencer. I bet the only thing they're talking about today is Zootopia: Furry Together.

They don't dare speak about this over fear of loosing their access.

Maybe the first step in phasing out?

Nah those things are easy profit machines.

Disney's modern business motto...... "Charge more, offer less"

 

[Notes from Neverland]

Continuing to reduce perks for resort guests is certainly a choice.

They've expanded them company wide (DLR, DCL)

It's to make it the FOMO wearable that everyone wants.

Honestly it's a piece of garbage the works sometimes, is a PITA to charge, and has terrible battery life.

I have long hated MB and I am a phone only type of guest. But I agree that the WDC has gone out of their way today to appear greedy to their customer base.

 

[TheMaxRebo]

It just must not be that popular now that they don't feel any benefit to offer as a perk.

Granted if they offered more options, publicized it more, had more interactive elements, etc. mayb they would be more popular

 

["El Gran Magnifico"]

Why would they do this? All they needed to do is raise the price by $20 bucks. Still give the $10 bucks back. And be $10 bucks ahead when the dust settles.

I wonder how many of the MB+ they’re selling. I liked the older, simpler ones but the + version is
