Maybe you should define what you see as groundbreaking.
Yes, Disney is ahead of the curve. But I think the companies like Apple or Samsung are gonna do a majority of the work that will allow all businesses to easily incorporate it into their payment system. If they want major companies like Grocery stores, Wal MArt or even local gas stations to participate, they will have to make it somewhat easy to adapt to. Its great that Disney has it now, but at the cost they have spent to be the first to have it NOW, other companies (Uni included) will most likely spend far less than Disney has and be just as up to date and not spend anywhere near the amount of money on maintenance Disney has already had to cough up.
Okay, it seems like there was a misunderstanding on both sides. My bad.
As discussed before in many threads, but rehashed again because I seem to be avoiding work today, I've personally found my trip so much more spontanious since the advent of FP+ due to the ability to change things. Previously, if I had a paper FP, I either use it, or miss it. Now, if I'm having fun in Tomorrowland and don't think I can make it to Fronteirland in time, I have options available to me. I can try and change my time for my FP. I can decide to try and grab a FP for a different attraction. Sure, a good choice may not be available, but taken over the fact that previously I had no choice, I've been able to be more relaxed in the parks and flexible to what is happening in the moment.
Perhaps letting him learn and base his judgement on his own experience rather than outside influence would result in a more natural growth and understanding of this community. Why the need to explain the lay of the land? Its obvious the man is intelligent enough to make up his own mind. And while crazy can be overwhelming, nobody respects an a** kisser.
Serious question. Do you not perceive that asking him if he has taken compensation from Disney on the article is an attack on his ethics as a journalist?
Eh...really?
I doesn't say that. It says people were complaining about that, but doesn't say NGE was intended to address that problem directly. How could it address high prices? If you want to address high prices, just lower them. The way NGE could reduce complaining about high prices is to improve the guest experience, so they didn't perceive the price as being too high anymore.
Trying to get back on topic here. I do have a question. Did you get any specific information on the data mining aspect of the program? Specifically, what level of detail are they capturing and storing data on individual guests and what are they then doing with that data?
All of that just sounds....awful to me.
While it may not be the nicest question, I think its fair to ask. It removes any doubt and especially considering Disney does comp people like Lou or DSMM in return for positive press. Austin is obviously an actual journalist, a good one, and not just a blogger but is it that crazy to ask just to make sure? like I said before, he answered the question with no problem. If he wasnt offended by it, why is everyone else? (not saying you persoanlly are offended). It goes with the old saying, the only dumb question is the one you DONT ask.
