Yep, various articles around the web made it sound like they were rolling out the bands in January. Bad journalism!

I've seen several sites that indicate the bands are already in use. Any word on how soon they actually will be?

Test groups are using them now, mostly executives. They actually book them at a resort and give them the band to test. No guests are using them yet.

Ah, yeah, the marketing materials they are rolling out aren't pointing that out very clearly. It will be interesting to see what tweaks get made to the system before it rolls out to all the guests.

Yeah... no... :D

It is interesting that they will be offering color options (probably), as they have eyelets that would imply they can be removed, so you can at least throw them in your pocket, purse, or god-awful fanny pack and be done with it.

And considering they are entirely OPTIONAL, I can't figure out why people are putting on their tin foil hats. :wink:

Although all cast members apparently are getting one for our parks leisure time. :mrgreen:

Because they never like change, even if it is giving them a better experience.
