Wdw Emh

[dancinghomer]

While I've never done an EMH, I have done a "hard ticket" event (MNSSHP) and I really liked the ease of just waving my wrist at the cast member as I got on an attraction. I do not believe that the cost savings will be so great as to justify all the aggravation to the cast members and guests.

Perhaps they are trying to find another revenue source? "Hey, pay us another $5.00 and we'll give you this COOL and COLLECTABLE wrist band that will make your EMH so much easier! Pay us $20.00 and we'll write your name on it!"

I'm still kinda surprised they switched from the "E Night" thing they did years ago to Extra Magic Hours, mainly because "E Nights" were i believe $10 a person, but was limited so lines weren't bad and you just had to ask about it at the front desk. They would print you a separate ticket for it and you would exchange it at the park for a wrist band.

I preferred those over EMH just because you could do the smaller stuff during the day and not have to worry about massive lines if you did "E Night" for the big attractions.

WE still have ours from out last trip (DW is getting into this "Scrapbooking" thing) With the technology available, I would think an RFID pass would be the next way to go. That way you could "interrogate" the pass from a distance, or even set up a sensor "gate" at certain areas, and not have to physically inspect every single pass!!

Why not go the whole way and use injectable RFID? One chip could link to everything. The resort gate could sense you and open as you drive up. Your room door would unlock when you pause infront of the door. The turnstyle at the parks could unlock as you step up to it (even replacing all the biometric devices). Turnstyles at the EMH attractions would only allow those who were registered as a current guest.

Sure would cut down on a lot of problems and could even increase crowd processing at the park gates. The chip would self destruct if the ambient temp of the chip fell significantly below body temp (to prevent pass sharing by swaping a chip between individuals).

pretty expensive, you could just tattoo a id number on the forehead and palm with invisable magnetic/infared ink, and then......


hmmm too prophetic!!

I was having the same thought, actually. I'm not a fan of any sort of implant. Maybe a bracelet or something you carry in the pocket with that info, just upgrade the KTTW cards. But no implants.

Hmm, implants or tattoos to keep track of guests. I can just see the news stories if that were to happen. "Disney is taking over the world by keeping track of everyone."

Plus a LOT of people would not allow that!

There are only a few implants that I think are allowable, and they are....







pacemakers!! and stents!!



youse guys thought I was thinking of something else!!


didn't you??
