Walt Disney World Tech News & Discussion- Magic Bands, Genie+, and more

As long as they still offer the inexpensive option in addition to this new one standby is still broken. Yea I wish WDW would move to a system more like UOR, but it doesn’t work if they still keep the old one too.

The cheapest price for the MK premier pass is the same price as a two park unlimited express pass on Christmas Day. I think that’s the biggest issue.

Hoping this starts as a phased transition into just the newer "all-included" pass, but we shall see. Way too often are standby lines backed up due to attraction downtime, and standby to ll ratios become painful.

Last night at Epcot before the post race party and just this morning at DHHS, magic bands and tickets are being scanned without fingerprint validation.

Is this when things are busy or are they potentially phasing them out? Could streamline entrance into the parks.

It is common procedure to skip fingerprint when line is backed up. For safety purposes they need to push people through faster and this is the way they do it usually.

Yeah that’s a speed thing. Or for some ticket types… just a thing.

Mobile Order is the one tech developed by Disney that actually works and is useful. Everything else is overbuilt or unnecessary to the theme park experience lol

their mobile order works so well i get frustrated by using other companies' mobile order. it's a remarkably useful tech, especially by disney standards.

Hoping Universal can improve their app (and overall F&B ops) soon. I shouldn't have to manually add my AP each time I mobile order.

Just got back from Marathon Weekend, and randomly saw this getting breakfast at the hotel. Worked really well, was super useful!

Unfortunately, earlier in the trip I had the opposite experience at UOR. Placed an order at 11 at Minion Cafe, only to find out an hour later mobile order didn't work on their end and one single team member was taking orders manually going table to table (instead of in the order folks arrived). When a table of 8 got their meals before I got my soda cup, I knew something was wrong.

Anyway, I hate Uni mobile order.

Amen.

While I understand bugs happen, it's pretty much been a recurring theme since it debuted. I'm really hoping there's a fix to the app (and their entire F&B operations) before Epic's debut.
