BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 From WDW News Today... Quote PHOTOS: Interactive Finale Finally Debuts at “it’s a small world”; More To Come In the earliest days of speculation about MyMagic+, we reported about the installation of various interactive features in attractions that would allow guests to interact with the environment via RFID technology in MagicBands and ticket media. In January of 2013, the finale scene of “it’s a small world” at the Magic Kingdom was completely rebuilt. In October of 2013, we were the first to bring you video of a series of screens installed in that new finale scene of “it’s a small world”. The scene included new screens that we reported would eventually give personalized farewells to guests as they reached the end of the ride. Well, 3 years after work on the scene initially began, it is finally functioning… It seems Disney may finally be ready to roll out these “StoryMaker” elements that were installed years ago when MyMagic+ was initially rolled out. These elements include this finale scene, but also interactive elements installed but not activated inside Star Tours, the Hollywood Brown Derby, MuppetVision 3-D, and Expedition Everest, just to name a few. The elements will use information read from the RFID media the guests are carrying, such as their names or park photos, to create personalized moments. This technology will also allow characters at meet and greets to know the names of the guests they are meeting or cast members at various locations to know when a guest is celebrating a special occasion. We will have more on these new elements as they continue to roll out. http://wdwnt.com/blog/2016/03/photos-interactive-finale-finally-debuts-at-its-a-small-world-more-to-come/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Travisma 1,317 Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Well as of an hour ago it wasn't working. We dropped Buzz FP for Small World to see the interactive ending. No go all it had was the normal goodbyes in various languages and they weren't even changing. Asked one CM, she said oh they aren't working? Usually if they stop someone fixes it, maybe it's too late in the day. Asked another one and she said they worked for 2 days 2 wweeks ago then stopped. Oh well should've hit up Buzz.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 Well that's a bummer. I wonder if they're still working out the kinks and that's why we haven't seen any official Disney announcements on this yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 The name displayed will be the name on the account the magic band is tied to. The name on the Magic band has nothing to do with the interactive elements being added. And they are still working out the bugs before announcing this. There will be little surprises all over property once it is fully implemented. And all the surprises will be different, from your name on the screen at small world, a photo of you in the que line to some rides, to surprise FPs added to your account for simply being in the right place at the right time. Be on the look out for these little surprises. momof3kids-Yvonne, Katman1356...Jason, Beckers and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well phooey, that takes some fun out..... but I can understand, cause so far I haven't heard or read anywhere on the interwebz that they reject certain words on the MBs.
