Never mind I must be blind... Applied! Woo
Some more NEWS, but not on the subject of NEXT GEN.
There have been some very hot rumours about WDW wanting its own version of Club 33 or the Carthay Circle Club in O-Town. Nothing that I've been able to pin down as definite, which is why I haven't mentioned it.
But found out earlier that WDW is now offering $99 APs (yes, you read that right) to DL Club 33 members at the Gold Tier or higher as well as merchandise discounts around the resort. I am wondering if this is something designed to see how many west coast folks might be interested in a similar club at WDW.

Until announced, I list things as maybe.. Just to be on the safe side since plans do always change...
Right now, it's a mess ... so no one has to worry about using MagicBands (and how wonderful they look on multi-ethic families in publicity shots).
I don't see anyway they are even an issue in 2013. I just don't. Except for test groups. And they can't even get the system to work for say 600 guests, how are they going to make it work for EVERY guest that enters.
Mind you, they have Accenture working for them ... and Cisco ... and DTSS ... and they still are as clueless as a teen fanboi when a 55-year-old Imagineer suddenly wants to 'friend' them.
Long-winded, sorry Alissa. But I think you will always be able to avoid the band, you just won't be able to avoid the chip.

Cause it is for intern... Maybe that's why colleges got it and disneycareers.com don't? Maybe if they can't fill it through colleges first (and no reason why they shouldn't be able to) then maybe it will hit the website...

I've got a friend that is looking into a job as Cisco in the Orlando area..hmmm...!!!
I'm going to see what I can find out about Accenture and DTSS. Wonder if I'm qualified....
Well, I have admitted to not being tech savvy about 324 times here. So, you probably have a point. ... But I also think you are much too quick to jump to Disney's defense when you know the tech better than probably anyone here (or almost ... where's @Lil Fort ?)
I also trust implicitly the source who provided me (and who knows? maybe Markey too?) the internal information.
And let's also be blunt, technology like this morphs and has the ability to change into a much different product than the basics that Disney is allegedly starting with.
Speaking of the technology, Iger's use of the phrase 'is not GPS-based'' concerns me. Again, I don't know the specifics of the tech. I do know there is a difference between enabled and based. Disney must have had a good reason for using that particular wording, especially because we know the MagicBands have 2.4 GHz antennas in addition to the two RFIDs. Maybe you or someone else can help with the understanding of this.
Honestly, that isn't even funny.
Maybe I am an (just ask my many loved ones!), but I am not welcoming anyone who starts posting in this thread and starts with something provocative. I've been burned too many times. I will gladly apologize if I'm wrong down the line. But, no, I won't welcome them here.
If you want a night of entertainment, Cougartown is on TBS now ... and there's plenty of free or Jeff Lange videos (I don't know which makes me feel dirtier watching!) out there ... It would be nice to leave the entertainment to the experts.

As you can tell by Steve's response, this thread is watched and heavily moderated. They're on it, but thank you for the suggestion.
$1.5 billion going into parks over the next 3-4 years. Major and minor attractions.
UNI will be a newer, more changed park than DCA when this is done.
And no tracking bracelets required.

Not meaning to stir the pot here, but I heard a good rumor that Mr. Iger toured new fantasyland today.
JP is getting one major E-caliber attraction and a nice minor attraction with major interactivity along the lagoon.
And they really don't have to announce anything, they're just building.

Maybe a Patty Melt with extra Mayo?
Not a rumour.
A reality.
Was also at EPCOT. I believe at Tron Track, but haven't been able to confirm that yet.
He just finished a lovely dinner before bed ... ... I think it would be nice if he just showed up at say the food court and pool and started asking guests questions. But that's just how I'd run things ...

That is 1.5 billion well spent... And why they will get my time and money and not Disney...
