Disney Confidential – Disney Drops Keys to the World goes with Wristbands?

Hey there guys and gals. Anonymouse here. I have some HUGE gossip today!

Many people who know me know that I am not a tech savvy person. I have to type up my articles and email them to Chimp Chip who is nice enough to post them for me. When I read today’s Gossip I about hit the floor.

Today’s article comes to us from Diz Fanatic where they discuss the evolution of the ‘Keys to the World’. You know your all inclusive Ticket, Meal Plan, Fastpass, Charge Card thing that you use while visiting Walt Disney World.

According to Diz Fanatic Disney will soon be replacing your card with a handy dandy wristband as seen below.

So instead of carrying your card with you everywhere you and your family can strap on your RFID enabled wrist band and swipe your hand when entering the park, checking out merchandise. getting your fastpass, and signing your life over to Mickey Mouse.

According to their site here is how it works:

• Need to get into your awesome Pirates of the Caribbean themed hotel room?  Just hold your wristband up to the door.
• At Magic Kingdom gates at 5:30AM for an 8:00 opening?  Just hold your wristband to the turnstile (at 8:00 am).
• Mmm, time to buy a yummy cinnamon bun at the Main Street Bakery.  Just hold up your wristband to the paystation to pay!
• Oh, hurry, FastPass to meet Mickey Mouse (or Tinkerbell in my case <3 ).  Just hold up your wristband to the FastPass kiosk.
• Next? Get that classic photo on Main Street with the castle in the background, and even daddy can get into this photo thanks to PhotoPass.  Just hold up your wristband for the photographer to scan.  (No more digging in your pocket for that card)
• Love EPCOT?s Kim Possible interactive spy game?  Try some new adventures like a Magic Kingdom Pirate Adventure, an Imagineer’s hidden secrets adventure or even? a romantic adventure??  Use your wristband to keep the adventure going.
• Can’t wait to show your jealous friends at home that awesome ride video of you on Big Thunder Mountain?  Just hold up your wristband to be sure that it is added to your ‘Enhanced’ PhotoPass account.

I can’t tell you how cool that is even for a technology challenged person like myself. I am sure when Chip reads this he is going to wet himself. He is a NERD ya know

My post in no way has a 1/10th of the information on their website. I suggest heading over to the Dis Fanatic site and reading the full scoop here.

So I want to hear what you think of this new technology? Is this the mark of the beast we have been waiting for? Or is Disney getting RFID happy? Let me know in the comment box below.

Anywho that is all the Disney Gossip I have right now.
