Egads Just back yourself.
I agree the MB's arent ideal. Ive never liked them from the start. The design has problems and Dis should make a fix. But my, my DW's and my DS's MB's stayed secure on our wrists the entire 2 weeks we had them on. If yours kept unlatching then you should have complained and insisted on a replacement or knowing it was not latching properly put it in your pocket. I know that shouldnt be your problem and its all on Disney but dont keep wearing it if its not secure. The lack of charging again is an issue Disney needs to fix. I agree its not functional if you keep running out of power. Yes you should get refunded for a MB that isnt functioning.
My original post was regarding something that was lost on a ride and Disney isnt responsible for any item lost on a ride. They do search for lost items and in many cases do get them returned to the guests.
Seriously...
We did talk to GS about them unlatching. They gave us - get this - a rubber band!
In any event, I was more just trying to give everyone a heads up. When another forum member reported the same situation (M-band easily coming off), your reaction was to call it "carelessness."
This forum has become so nasty as of late! What is the point? This is supposed to be a forum for something we consider fun, but instead of exchanging useful information there is now just an instinct towards attacking everyone who posts.
As it happens....I spent two hours in GS one day, and another 20minutes talking to someone about the bands at a blue tent. At that point, we just wanted to cut our losses, and make the most of the rest of our time.
Because also during this visit, a member of my party suffered an allergic food reaction due to what I'm going to call a food that was not adequately labeled. It was chicken salad that contained chopped peanuts, but the description did not say it had peanuts. There was no indication that it was not classic American chicken salad. So there went a whole evening, until the reaction subsided. Loads of fun!
The next day, on our way out of AK, we discovered MDE had eaten two park tickets. As in, someone in GS REALLY goofed. a CM was supposed to prioritize the newest tickets. We had gone to GS to specifically ask them to prioritize the newest ticket, but the older never-expire tickets were the ones that the system used. So I spent another 90minutes in GS getting that fixed. Except WDW no longer has no expire tickets. CM gave me a number that supposedly = a ticket- so long as I do not lose that number AND am willing to standing GS line to redeem it. The number can't be linked to MDE.
The only 'remedy' of sorts was some G+ passes and Fuelrod. We got 1 G+ for the faulty M+bands, 1 for the lost park tickets (worth over $1500) and 3 for having a near death experience.
Okay...technically the near-death allergic reaction was worth two ILL's and one G+.
Other parts of the trip were fun, but there were some pretty BIG hiccups!
We want to do an extended trip in CA since I've never been there and DL is just a stop along the way.
