D
14:13Daniele RobbinsHOST
And really, the wipes are just double duty, so if something spills, if someone's face is gross, uh, you have a different way to sanitize and clean all in one.
D
14:22Daniele RobbinsHOST
This next one is a big one that people forget, and that is your MagicBand+ charger.
D
14:31Daniele RobbinsHOST
So if you ordered MagicBand+ for your Disney vacation, they're going to come in.
D
14:38Daniele RobbinsHOST
You do need to charge those up.
D
14:41Daniele RobbinsHOST
And if you're doing a longer trip, more than really a day or two, you definitely want to bring those MagicBand chargers with you, uh, to charge up each night at your hotel.
D
14:50Daniele RobbinsHOST
Now, do not fret.
D
14:52Daniele RobbinsHOST
If you don't have your charger, the MagicBand uncharged can still, like, scan you into the park and have your tickets linked and all of that good stuff as long as you have it connected to your My Disney Experience app.
D
15:06Daniele RobbinsHOST
Um, but it's just not gonna do the fancy things.

'Cause in 2012, they greenlit a project called Next Gen, and that was spearheaded by Tom Staggs and the other fella that they, they got rid of, they fired shortly afterwards 'cause it exceeded the billion dollar price tag originally they started with and got to two billion, which gave you MagicBands, full park tracking, uh, ride photos that, that followed you, and all these other things that it was supposed to give, in addition to turning, like, what looked like a watch band into your room key and your payment method.
C
115:18Culture CasinoGUEST
So literally, they gave you a MagicBand, and it was everything.
C
115:22Culture CasinoGUEST
And it also contained three FastPasses.

B
15:33Beth FlippoGUEST
It-- We really are trying to make this a fun experience.
B
15:37Beth FlippoGUEST
And my-- One of the first people I hired here is my chief strategy officer, worked at Disney World, and he created the Magic Band for Walt Disney World.
B
15:45Beth FlippoGUEST
He led that team.
B
15:47Beth FlippoGUEST
And I just knew I had to hire the, him when I met him because there's that element of magic with new tech, and I wanted to make sure that we didn't lose that, like we didn't make it too techy and scary, like people see the hu- the humanoid ro- robots right now.

36:45Jason DodgeHOST
And I, and I get it, right? There's nostalgia here for some people, right? 'Cause it's like you get off the plane, you go to the corner of MCO where it's all Disney.
J
36:53Jason DodgeHOST
You get your MagicBands, you tap in, and your adventure starts right there at the airport, and you don't even have to get your luggage.
J
36:58Jason DodgeHOST
And you hop on this magical bus, and it takes you to your Disney vacation.
J
37:02Jason DodgeHOST
It was definitely a pre-vacation, like when Disney was king about the preemption of your vacation by sending you MagicBands at 30 days, and the whole process leading up, which Disney's sorely lacking right now, right? But, like, it was just the last thing you got for free from Disney before you got there.
J
37:21Jason DodgeHOST
And I, it w- I, I get why people loved it, but as a utility, it was pretty bad.
P
37:26Phil SchoenHOST
Yes.

The second park day, they used one credit at Magic Kingdom and it was at breakfast time.
D
22:27DrovenHOST
Now at Disney, we have something called Magic Bands.
D
22:30DrovenHOST
Magic Bands are worn by the guests and act as a room key.
D
22:33DrovenHOST
Park ticket, credit card, dining reservation payment, fast pass, and more.
D
22:40DrovenHOST
It took some work, but I was finally able to look up this family's fast pass history.
D
24:32DrovenHOST
There are photographs all over the parks and cameras in all the rides, and with Memory Maker, the photos are all free.
D
24:39DrovenHOST
They automatically get added to a guest's Disney account when the system knows their picture's been taken, and the system always knows.
D
24:47DrovenHOST
Everyone's whereabouts are always known with the Magic Bands.

Um, but, uh, yeah, I, I, I think, I think the days of running around with your smartphone, um...
S
77:33Seth KuberskyGUEST
And we also saw the MagicBands just never really took off in Disneyland the way they did in Disney World.
J
77:39JeffHOST
Yeah.
S
77:39Seth KuberskyGUEST
A lot of that is because of the hotel infrastructure.
