I feel so loved, now.

It would be nice if they could have all of the information in MDE instead of redirecting you to the website.

"Theme Park Entry—Coming in October

Annual Passholders have a theme park entry lane at each of the Walt Disney World theme parks. Be sure to follow the signage featuring the program's new look. And coming soon, Passholders who have affiliated their My Disney Experience account with their Annual Pass will experience a unique color and sound sequence when using their MagicBands to enter Walt Disney World Resort theme parks—it's our way of saying "welcome back to the magic" each time you visit!"

Curious if this overrides the LE Magicbands.

I’d rather have the LE effects. It’s a shame they’ve seemingly discontinued that in recent new bands.

Totally agree with you on both points. It's one of the silly reasons why I like my few LE bands. I don't get why they basically stopped making new bands with effects.

Also, what happens if someone is DVC and AP. Which effect takes precedence?

That is when the sound effect switches to a cash register noise.

Here's the specific wording -

"Annual Passes may be unavailable for purchase at any time."

Is there a problem with reservations like DL? Seems a bit out of the blue.

 

[ChrisFL]

this will go over well with locals I'm sure.

I was on the fence about renewing in the near-term...guess that decision was made for me at the moment....not a good look by Disney though

This seems like a preemptive move, unlike out at Disneyland where they were caught with a week or more of bad press

I smell a mouse......I mean a rat .

Don’t want people to upgrade their holiday day tickets into APs?
