"They" say so, but the "they" makes me question the voracity of the claim.

Are you insinuating that "they" have an agenda that has become decidedly anti-Disney in an attempt to get clicks on their site?
"Huge change to a FAN FAVORITE Disney attraction has guests FURIOUS"Are you insinuating that "they" have an agenda that has become decidedly anti-Disney in an attempt to get clicks on their site?
Sixth paragraph, you learn that Disneyland Paris' Tea Cups are closing 15 minutes early one evening.

Yup, figured you would know - and as expected, they were (are) dirt cheap to produce. Thanks Martin!
I question the claim as well.
No one does that, do they?Are you insinuating that "they" have an agenda that has become decidedly anti-Disney in an attempt to get clicks on their site?

It will be interesting to hear folks experiences with the MB+ including charging solutions, how frequently it needs charging etc.
"If you purchase a MagicBand+, we would plan on a full charge taking at least 90 minutes. From there, the MagicBand+ will lose battery at various rates based on usage. The Batuu Bounty Hunters game seems to be the biggest drain on the battery life with MagicBand+ batteries lasting anywhere from 90 minutes to 3 hours while playing the game. If you plan on playing Batuu Bounty Hunters, make sure that you have a way to recharge your MagicBand+ while at the parks. Disney officially says that MagicBand+ will last anywhere from 1-3 days."
Yes

Waiting for footage of the statues.
I think it's just an audio clip that plays if a MB++ gets close?
A $3 trinket sold for $35 - "Disney... Now, more than ever!"
Sure, some of that cost could be attributed to the infrastructure upgrades that were years overdue by the time they implemented NextGen, but that level of markup? Nah. That's just greed.
"Unprecedented demand!" - $lappie
Vote with your wallet.
I did. Ordered 3.
I’d hate to be in a position where my MB+ battery died in the early afternoon (due to playing the Batuu Bounty Hunter game) and then miss out on ride photos later in the day as a result (for guests that aren’t carrying a smartphone with MDX installed and BLE enabled).
IMO they should have implemented an optional (possibly enabled by default) low battery mode, where once you only have 10 - 15% battery remaining, it only works for ride photo linking (and obviously the standard NFC / RFID functionality which doesn’t require a battery).

There's no reason to believe that any such thing is an issue. ONE tweet says the batteries are dying quickly, and that tweet came from a user who was doing nothing but heavy MB+ use.
They literally did the thing you're mad at them for not doing.

You could always bring one of those external battery packs used to change cell phones
Another question is, does the MB+ work WHILE connected to the charging connector?
If so, you could wear the MB+ WITH the charging connector, connected to the external battery pack strapped to your forearm
