Anyone seen this news about Disney bringing these bands in, they will allow entry into the parks and give you entry into your Disney hotel room also Fastpass+ and the ability to charge stuff to your room using the band.

Yes, I have heard of this! I have a friend who works for DisneyWorld and I know they are beginning to pilot the scheme to hopefully roll out towards the end of the year.

We are out there for Christmas this year so would be awesome if they were available!

The cynic in me interprets this as an easy way for guests to run up very large bills on their hotel rooms, as they won't keep track of spending as well as they would using cash or credit card as they move around the parks.

That said, it's a nice innovation.

It's the same as using your hotel/park entry card now you had the option to charge to it, it will still be an option on the bands.

I *think* you can put a cap on your spending limit. I know when using a card a few years ago, I did that! :o)

Disney magic bands will also unlock bonus content on the Disney infinity game if anyone is lucky enough to get a band and the game.
