Re: RFID entrance to the parks coming soon, maybe next year?
I suppose APs could have the RFID technology as well (you get a bracelet to go with the card, or instead of), which the system will recognize.
I'm more curious to see what happens when someone tries to sneak in amongst a crowd of legal entrants ..."She's taking everything. She's taking the house, she's taking the kid, she's taking the dog. IT'S NOT EVEN HER DOG. IT'S MY DOG! SHE'S TAKING . . . MY DOG!"

CM's would monitor.
Similar to self checkout at the grocery, try to steal, you will be nailed!

Re: RFID entrance to the parks coming soon, maybe next year?
A few reasons.
Firstly, it costs a lot to staff the current system. All of those entrance CM's are paid to basically sit there and watch people enter. Reducing the need there will allow wages to be directed elsewhere in the park.
Secondly, it is likely that there is noticeable ticket fraud as far as Disney can tell. I can only assume that the new system somehow reduces or limits the possibility of entering with a ticket someone else has used.
Thirdly and most importantly, if everyone is using RFID, they can track you through the park. I would expect that the system would also show up instead of the current turnstile system at each attraction entrance/exit. They could better monitor GAC's, get better attraction counts, and generally learn more about how people are using the park. Not to mention the rumoured integration with attractions where Ursula or Jack Sparrow will suddenly know it is your name and that today your birthday.
Lastly, it will indeed make the park feel more welcoming. I just want to know how they will go about doing the big grand opening each morning without gates.

I don't read this at all to mean there will be completely open entrance to the park. But simply the idea of much more open paths that no longer require a physical turnstyle.
I don't really see the reduction in CM requirements myself. The CMs are there enlarge to deal with customer problems with their admission media. Changing the media isn't going to eliminate those problems (expired ticket, etc).
If anything, this system stands to make the worst issue (ticket booths) even worse. DL doesn't have reception counters at every hotel distributing ticket media (or now bracelets) like they do at WDW. So many people buy tickets onsite at Disney.. that process just got more complex.. and now you might need to account for all those frequent visitors needing something refreshed or replaced frequently.Check out my blog - Coreplex: Rambling from inside the Grid

Originally posted by Crazybirdman View PostThis is, like you said, the most important. Think about all the questions the survey peeps ask you. Now they will have the same information for everybody with RFID bracelet of whatever. That's one more job they can phase out, and still get way more information than before

Re: RFID entrance to the parks coming soon, maybe next year?
I do hope that when we talk about phasing out jobs, we're also talking about relocating those CMs to other roles--we've talked about how the park is understaffed in a lot of places. I hope we're not talking about letting people go.Merida looks like this. Not a Barbie doll!

Re: RFID entrance to the parks coming soon, maybe next year?
*sarcasm* Welcome to George Orwell's 1984 at the Disneyland Resort.
Well not to offend anyone, I don't know, guys. It seems the RFID wristband can keep track of you where ever you go. But, in reality that's unlikely to happen at the Happiest Place on Earth. RFID is also used for tracking wild animals that is released into to wild after rehab and same for pets.
But, there are both good and bad when using this kind of technology.
In my opinion, if I have see AP holders and many guests carrying electronic RFID small wristbands on them all the time sort of reminds of being a 'slave' to a system and that big brother is watching all the time.
All in all, take this post with a grain of salt, I'm actually being sarcastic and joking.Last edited by LangenFox; 10-18-2012, 09:09 PM.

Re: RFID entrance to the parks coming soon, maybe next year?
Disney just did a MAJOR rebuild of the entrance to DCA. Don't you think if they were going to go this way, they would have done something during that remodel?If you see a cute yellow lab puppy with a yellow cape, WAVE! It might be us! (Or it may be someone else that lurks here!) Thank you for asking before you pet! Next trip, Dec 22-Jan 3rd.

If something lets me in the parks faster, saves money, enhances the metrics for Disney to provide a more customized magical seamless experiance for the customer. Then RFID can't come soon enough.
