If the MagicBand is supposed to be your ticket/AP, can you even HAVE several? How would that work?

It's a valid reason!
I think they're a nice idea for water parks, but I don't always want my motion restricted underwater. Sometimes I do! But usually not. Water slides, though, no big whup.
According to the CMs staffing the Odyssey, you'll be able to have as many as you want. They didn't know how much they'd be charging for them, though.

No, nobody knows. If Disney knows, they aren't saying.Does anyone know if the bands will be available in Pop Century Resort at the end of June as that is when we arrive and my daughter would like one.
When (if) it becomes a thing, it will be all over the board and you won't be able to miss it, I'm sure.

This is the big question for those of us going in fall 2013 when I keep hearing this will be rolled out. I am pretty good at being one of those 180 day guys, but I don't want to miss out on FP+ because they made the announcement at 1:30 some random Tuesday 28 days before my trip and I didn't hear about it or jump online until 4:45.

I didn't think about this prior, but especially if they made lockers accessible by MagicBand.
It's everything - lockers, photopass, turnstiles, payments. Magic Bands will make the whole water park experience much better.

Okay that's awesome. I was thinking earlier that as an annual passholder not staying on property that the magic band wouldn't really do much good at the waterparks, but could understand if staying on property. But if they're making that a feature then that's sweet. Do you know if the cards will have the same features?

I know! $50 for a plastic wristband that has a fixed end-of-life (i.e. it has a battery in it that WILL die at some point).
I would pay exactly $0 for one.

This is the same guy who acts like he's better than others who shop at Walmart, if that puts it in perspective.
Unless there are features on it that I can't already use with my RFID, I won't get one for any price.

I believe the words you are looking for are "to each his own"

The question is, "what will Disney charge you for one?" Regardless of your personal views, the cost will obviously be wrapped into all vacation packages (like the "complimentary" Magical Express). I wonder what Disney thinks it's worth?

I was speaking with someone in IT at WDW the other day trying to get my new RFID enabled AP associated with my Disney account.Just for fun I asked her do you forsee similar issues once Magic Band is released in terms of setting it up with My Disney Experience. Her comment was basically yes but wait until you see what it can do and change the park.

Can it pay my taxes and automatically order Pampers for my sons? Now, that would be Magical.

LOL..I wish it could change my sons! That would be mor than magical more like miracle. I guess my point was it is not going to just gain you entry to the park or pay for things in shops. However, depends on the cost of the thing vs it's true convenience.

I am excited for them and will use them for sure. Not because I think there is a ton of extra value, but because of the extra convenience.
