Did the thieves at least show their AP and ID?We picked up our magnets today. I put one on the car, and we drove to EPCOT. When we came back to the car in the parking lot about 6 hours later, the magnet was gone. The second one is going on the refrigerator, out of the reach of thieves.
No. Nor did they go through the hassle of getting into a virtual queue at Disney Springs.

Suspicious, they have a virtual queue for these magnets. But they couldn't have one for Figment popcorn buckets. It's obvious to see that the Disney company feeds off of hype and long lines.

Or seeing as they did set up VQ for buckets after the first go around they learned and did VQ for these as well? Maybe with VQ they know how many magnets to provide for that day?
I'm all for putting the hurt on the mouse but this is a weird take to me
I’d normally be inclined to agree, but a VQ does nothing to forecast demand for an entire day. Being at DS, it’s entirely a walk-up thing as well. I still have no idea why they did this for an AP magnet.

I agree, maybe it is testing for other things
Or it’s just telling you even more certainly the price for the magnet. There’s a reason for years the magnets were handed out at DHS, and then switched to Epcot. They are a soft power move to get you to a struggling area to increase sales. DS must be suffering in that regard. I mean it makes sense when parks are so expensive and you are forcing charged add ons you don’t really want to waste the time leaving a park. Especially when Disney makes it so burdensome (no park to DS busses, and less frequent busses from resorts too.)

AR features are always what I wanted from being a pass holder! Thank you Disney!

I think the valid point here is how have they not learned by now? Its been this way for years.

Guess you could use the AR feature while you're standing in line for RoTR. You've got several hours to blow anyway...

We had new magnet on car on November trip. Lasted three days. 6 hours is horrible. People suck.
Any theft is horrible. No one has decency anymore.

I know. I have a crazy idea. How about mailing a magnet for each passholder via mail? Last I checked, the postman still delivers. Yeah. It's "expensive". I think they made that up in the last AP price increase. Oh, and include a popcorn buck with each one!

It wouldn't have made the news if people were just in a virtual queue. They've known about this type of reservation system for a long time. ... Thus one can conclude that they definitely did it on purpose.

I'm a D23 gold member and they just came out with this years magnets. They offer 2 different magnets and you sign into your account, pick the one you want, fill out a form with your information, and hit send. The window to order your magnet is about 2 - 3 weeks. You get it in the mail in a few weeks. Everyone gets a chance to get a magnet. And if you want the other style too you can purchase it.

I can assure you it was not done on purpose, leadership knew it was going to be popular but not on that scale, that’s why it switched to the VQ after.

Okay, whatever. Not everything is a conspiracy theory.
