    Default Disney Parks Chairman Tom Staggs Talks Wearable Disney Devices

    All Things D Interview w/ Tom Staggs

    (John's edit - link is fine)

    By Bonnie Cha
    If you plan on visiting Walt Disney World in the future, you might find that getting into the theme park, your hotel room, even purchasing souvenirs, will be a completely different experience. This is because the company is moving away from the traditional methods like paper tickets to technology like wearable bands and mobile apps to provide guests with a more personalized experience. Thomas Staggs, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, showed off its new high-tech system at the 11th D: All Things Digital conference. You can check out the video below to see it in action, and be on the lookout for a special cameo appearance from Edna Mode, high-tech costume designer for “The Incredibles.”

    There is a interesting part about 3/4 into video where he talks a little about Counter Service.

    Insightful.

    My favorite part was when the interviewer held up the band and said, "So when I put this on does money immediately start flowing from my account?"
    "You used all the glue on purpose!"

    Orwell would be proud......that said, it sounds interesting enough that I am looking forward to trying it out, not the prebooking my vacations part, but the using the band for purchases, park and room access.

    Despite alot of the naysayers I really think this is awesome. Not having to fish a park pass out for everything is great.

    And the Small World your kids doll showing up while going through the ride is so cool. My Nephew would freak!

    I agree, It'll be fun to try, but may be overwhelming. Already we can't eat some places unless we knew 6 months ago we would want to

    I am very excited about the more interactive things like the small world doll. I'm also excited to see if it really does help with spreading out crowds.
