I foresee FuelRod sales going up this summer.

I have a few portable chargers (mophie and anger). Always have them in the parks

What ever happened to daydreaming?

I'm sorry that your daydreaming is ruined by other people using their mobile devices

Im sorry that your attention span is so short that you constantly need to be stimulated.

I say forget building apps for people to stare at their phones in the queue, and instead sink the money into making wonderfully elaborate queues that stand on their own.

They already are doing that with the new E-tickets. Flight of passage, Battle Escape, Millennium Falcon, MMRR, GotG, all have huge seemingly elaborate queues. The only ones that are sub-par are the C/D tickets

I see this as another battery drainer. When we went last time my Fiance and I kept our phone use to only when we were stuck in a spot for a long time, such as a ride queue that didn't move very fast or waiting for the fireworks. I enjoy chatting and observing what's around me, especially at Disney. I can Facebook at home or at the hotel.

I "liked" then "unliked" just so I could "like" it more than once. EXACTLY!

I wonder if this is Disney finally starting to track you and collect data. The Magic Bands were just a decoy.

they've been doing that for years now

It's really not an either or, y'all. This is a clever way to help those guests currently using phones to distract from wait times, and getting pulled out of the 'bubble', to stay immersed - on their terms. A 45+ minute wait sucks. While they need to improve that, this is an immediate answer to something that takes nothing away from the park.

So ignore it if you don't like it, but stop being so hostile to people finding ways to make standing still bearable

I heard on a podcast that some prizes for this thing could be a fastpass or other ride related actvities

 

[GlacierGlacier]

everyone talks about the FOP queue but it wasn't that great imo. it smelled SO badly. i also had to wait 3 hours so that could be part of it lol.

I've been in it several times since opening. I'm literally in it right now. It does not smell. It was likely a guest next to you.

Uhh, probably not another guest, but, I'm just gonna say that there's a sign at the entrance telling people there's no bathroom in line for a reason....

FTFY

Well, clearly I communicate by person more than by phone, because I had to look up FTFY.

Replaced by an app.

They could really have fun with this - scavenger hunts (that change depending on where you are and what day it is), "find the clues" games like Agent P, "achieve this goal, and xyz attraction's queue will respond...they could make it so you HAVE to interact with the people and environment around you...which is what I hope they do.
