Everyone keep their hands inside the wristbands at all times & hold on tight, it's going to be a bumpy ride.

The RFID "Touch to Pay" system will be going live this week also.

Love it, RFID makes me giddy.

Does anyone know if you can switch out a current AP for an RFID one?

How are they going to monitor who's ticket is who? Couldn't anyone tap the ticket and enter now? Or eventually will my Photo pop up on a CM tablet or something?

They're just replacing magstripe with rfid. there will still be the finger scanner

How long until they have strobe lights on all the readers?

I wanna know too... I can tell you all on Friday when I go to the World to get my AP

As critical I have been of the overall NextGen project, the new entry procedure and the touch to pay deals are going to be terrific improvements.

Always has to be one (or 500 of this same joke in every thread). Save the scrolling.

During the test period they just put an RFID sticker on your AP

Good to know! Thank you!

The RFID should speed things up with it being read correctly the first time instead of having to feed the ticket through more than once to read it correctly. Seems every time someone in front of feeds the ticket wrong or it didn't read it and a CM has to do it.

During the test period they did go with a sticker, but I would assume they will start to reissue actual tickets. You could always go to guest relations and get a new ticket.

I will inquire with guest services when I am there this weekend.
