On a slight note, i might have mentioned it before, Disney a few years back ( 2013 ) started to use " magic bands " on property, these were your room key, park ticket, photopass and you can use it to charge to your room , a year later they opened the " 7 dwarfs mine train " ride, now this ride took your picture ( and a short video of you wizzing past ), nothing amazing in that i hear you say, you are right, BUT you did not have to " mickey to mickey " ( each magic band has a mickey head on it and each terminal also has a mickey head, so these are the points of contact )
so we all knew at some point on the ride, the RIFD in the magic band had tracked you
last week imagine my daughter surprise when stood in the queue for " rock and roller coaster " in Hollywood studio's a poster changed and said " appearing live from the UK is Matt " then the next one to it flashed up her name etc etc, once again the RFID read our bands at a point ( i guess just before the poster ) and flashed up the name and where we are from
On the money side of it, all transactions under $20 you do not have to type your pin into the terminal, just scan your band and away you go
Once evening i noticed a payment for just over $16 on my account from something purchased in epcot, we hadnt even been to epcot that day, so i popped down to concierge the next day, i explained the issue ( i know $16 isnt the end of the world, but its the principle ), they phoned someone and they confirmed we were not in epcot that day ( i guess as we hadnt used our bands to access that park )
