BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 From Chip & Co... It appears that MagicBands will not be added to the park anytime soon. According to Mary Niven, vice president for Disneyland Park, the wristband which uses microchip technology to let guests use the bands in place of theme park tickets, hotel room keys and even credit cards won’t work for Disneyland. She said that with many of the visitors being local residents who do not stay for long periods at the nearby hotels and that it just doesn’t suit Disneyland’s guest demographics. They may not be getting magic bands, but according to Staggs, “We will bring variations on MyMagic+ to our parks and other businesses around the world,” so it may not be in the immediate future, but its still not out of the realm of possibility. http://www.chipandco.com/star-wars-coming-disneyland-magicbands-213207/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted May 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 So WDW is catering to out of state extended stay visitors!They do hate Floridians. Given the price of a resident AP vs the out-of-state version, I'd say they like Floridians at least a little bit. Just looking at the number of rooms in WDW resorts vs DL though, I'd say there's some basis for the theory that WDW has a much larger "vacation destination" base than DL. DL also gives better perks to their AP holders than WDW, which would also seem to suggest that's more of their customer base than it is at WDW. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
