It's hitting the web now. From the mouses mouth:


Soon, Walt Disney World Resort will introduce tools that allow guests to use technology to customize and personalize their vacation, along with more guest enhancements that will continue to be tested and implemented in the coming years. Many of these efforts are part of MyMagic+, which has the ability to connect nearly all aspects of the guest experience.

My Disney Experience, a new website and mobile application, will provide a one-stop shop for all things Walt Disney World during every phase of a guest’s vacation. Guests may use My Disney Experience to get information on all Walt Disney World offerings, reserve dining and other experiences and make FastPass+ selections in advance.
Disney FastPass+ service will allow guests to lock in some of their must-do attractions and show experiences in advance, freeing them to explore and discover the magic in Walt Disney World theme parks and resort hotels. For the first time, guests will be able to reserve firework and parade viewing areas, shows, Disney Character Greetings and more.
The new MagicBand, worn on the wrist, will become the key to unlocking the magic, serving as room key, park admission, access to FastPass+ selections, PhotoPass card and payment account (optional) all rolled into one.
MyMagic+, as well as other guest experience enhancements, will continue to be tested and implemented in the coming years. We are continually looking at ways to take the entire Disney Parks experience to the next level at all of our destinations based on the unique ways our guests enjoy diverse sites. Guests, Cast, Crew, and Imagineer feedback will continue to be a critical part of the process in shaping these offerings.

All this debate about Next Gen and now it's clear that it's being done just to allow guests to take the "Disney Parks experience to the next level". Absolutely nothing to worry about. ;)

I wonder what this stuff means to me as a Florida resident/AP holder. Am I, for example, going to have to just hope for a manageable parade spot because Bob and his party of 30475603468 from Jersey reserved the good spots?

They will be getting rid of the AP's soon anyway...it's not near profitable enough.

Disney would rather your space be used by Bob and his party...they spend a LOT more money in a week than a Florida resident does all year.

***edit: The above statement is an editorial remark...by no means is it based on fact or anything that I have heard...(unkadug)

Where was this posted, if you don't mind me asking? We have had the info pulled from the ToS for a while, this doesn't appear to conflict with anything already known.

1. Copy a selction of the text
2. Go to Google.com
3. Paste selected text, surround with quotation marks
4. Hit "Go/Search"
5. ???

I think that's debatable. We're AP holders, not Florida Residents, and I can pretty much safely say we spend just as much money at the parks as anyone else does.

AP's will simply be a casualty from the removal of the Florida Passholders.

General public social media has it now. I merely copied verbatim from a social media page since it is official company wording as opposed to Internet fan rumour.
