To be honest... Doesn't really bother me either way!
All those people who say they won't...What ya going to do? not visit?!
They're trying to improve the experience for you all, if you don't like it complain to WDW.

So... put a magnet in it and then claim all that right?If it is infused with a hologram that will align my quantum signatures and tune the harmonic vibrations of my aura thereby improving by balance and mental well being, I will consider it.
Mmmm latex. Wait... what were we talking about?
Magnets? Pfffft! that is so 1980's. Holograms are where the real Newtonian healing wavelengths are!So... put a magnet in it and then claim all that right?

Has anyone thought about the fact we will now be tracked via GPS every step we take...scary! I wonder if we will get an electric shock if we step out of the 47 mile radius??? (joking)!
Not really considering that the bands will have and RFID chip in them and not a GPS tracker.

Can you track a RFID chip?

No, will not wear one. I hope there's the option of obtaining a regular room key.

If it comes to the point where it's the only option and they discontinued alternatives like actual tickets, then yes. I would stop going. There is literally no way I will ever wear one. Period. I hope it doesn't come to that and it seems to me they would always need some alternatives for various reasons but still, the point remains it's an absolute line in the sand for me.
Sort of but nothing like a GPS. With a GPS I can get an accurate location on you as long as the tracker can get a satellite signal. There effectiveness indoors can be somewhat limited, but they are getting better. An RFID chip has to pass by an RFID sensor. It could tell if you went in a building if there was a sensor in the entry door, but it could not tell where you were in the building without additional sensors and even then you could only tell that you went past a particular sensor.

Great Wolf Lodge which has used RFiD bracelets for awhile now proves you don't need to wear the bracelet...you can put it wherever you want, or even cut it to card size and put it in your wallet...you just need it at scanners and your resort room. It is more convenient if you go to the waterpark. I always cut mine to wallet size and they even help you do so at the chek in desk. The only reason WDW might do otherwise is for proof of admission purposes ( I.e. hard ticketed parties) replacing the current ones.
I am 30 and still get ID-ed 90% of the time. Maybe the RFID will contain you're age and ID-ing will be a thing of the past?

Only if the sun can penetrate the band and not leave a large white area on my otherwise tanned Scottish skin.
I kind of feel the same way. I just do not want to wear this thing. To me it is almost the same thing as if they made us all wear pin lanyards or Mickey Ear Hats.

But Great Wolf Lodge's implementation really has nothing to do with Disney. Can't really draw any conclusions from it.

Having tested the RFID bracelet at WDW two weeks ago, I can assure you it is identical. It was larger and thicker, but otherwise identical. At least the test version was.
I'm just curious and you don't have to answer, but why?
