Interesting news for the future for park goers...according to WDW Magic Disney's NextGen RFID FASTPASS bracelet has been listed on the government FCC website today, including an image of what it looks like (see image below). The bracelet, called "Magic Band' is battery powered, is designed to be disposable, and includes the now familiar NextGen Mickey logo and what appears to be the wearers name for easy ID in groups. The RFID bracelet will be the driving force behind much of Disney's NextGen initiative, which includes ticketless park entry, ticketless FASTPASS, attraction personalization, touch-to-pay purchasing and more. A brief desciption of the device from the filing "The radio of the device, Model MB-R1G1, is a wrist worn arm band that transmits a 2.4 GHz signal to an indoor wireless infrastructure. The PCB assembly is potted in plastic and completely overmolded with thermal plastic polyurethane. The band has no on off switch and is powered with a non-replaceable coin cell. The PCB assembly also includes a passive UHF RFID tag radio and a passive HF RFID tag radio."

Do AP's have the option of just getting an implanted device? - MoonWillow

Basically this thing is going to be a credit card, fastpass and ticket all in one! - BaseballMickey_CM

I've heard some other cool things about this that Disney will be using for the future very similar to how they use the Glow with the show ears. Word is this bracelet will have info like if your celebrating a birthday and or some other event and characters on attractions would be able to get this info via the RFID and personalize your experience - Dave

they already have RFID on almost all of our CM costumes - BaseballMickey_CM 2806.3 #16 1:22PM
I went to the parks for my birthday. The computer told the CM at the main gate that it was my birthday. Thought it was kinda nice. - ScooterMike 1959.8 #35 1:23PM
Now that's cool! - cesium55 529.7 #215 1:25PM
What does the RFID in the costumes do? - MrsMears 212.0 #1449 5:06PM
@mrsmears it lets Disney know what costumes we have checked out, or returned - ninodj 198.2 #1651 5:20PM
That'll make for some interesting tan lines for people at the parks regularly 😂 Really though, I can't WAIT til this technology makes its way to DL! - SPandEvLover

It's only a matter of time before DL begins using biometrics when using your pass/ticket for entry. - dlmickeymouseCM

yea, its a good thing, some people just have a hard time embracing technology and are always looking for conspiracy theories of why this is bad and how Disney will some how harm them - Dave 8630.6 #2 10:11PM
How many attraction points did you get today? - chris.

It certainly is fancy. I hope somehow it can help to cut down on the numbers of ticket sharers and that it comes to DLR. - Linzee

Wow! Amazing with where we are headed. I didn't quite understand the last part but times are a changing. Thank you! - RadiatorSprings4Ever

It already has my name on it too! Kinda scary. - ScooterMike

I have always thought they should have this technology on cruise ships. - MrsMears
212.0 #1449 1:16PM
I wonder how they do it to get rid of your info if its disposable...maybe a time limit on the band? seems pretty cool so far. - PrinceTeaJack
785.8 #118 1:18PM
They'll be able to keep track of how often you ride each ride and which rides are "seen it already" rides. It probably will help make DL even more awesome, if that's possible. - iwantdisney

I wonder how they will do them for AP's...do you keep the same bracelet all year? Or do you have to get a new one every time you go? Should be interesting to see how it works out. - PoppinsWoo
254.8 #962 2:23PM
dont think they will, pretty sure its going to start out just for Resort guests - Dave 8630.6 #2 2:51PM
I see... Well it does seem a lot easier than carrying around a ticket. Seems like it would completely take care of the ticket sharing issues. - PoppinsWoo 254.8 #962 4:34PM
I just heard two guest asking for entrance tickets last night as I was leaving, I had to shake my head and keep walking 😒 - MarshaMouse 2834.7 #15 4:50PM
How do people ticket share if they need a hand stamp to get back in? - Hidden-mickey 13.4 #5935 5:00PM
@MarshaMouse I don't like seeing dishonest people. Its so frustrating! We can only hope that this resolves that. - PoppinsWoo 254.8 #962 5:22PM
Ticket sharing? Hopefully this gets rid of that practice and scams that have been occurring at the parks - Dave 8630.6 #2 8:06PM
I just recently took an extended survey that the Disney company sent me and it had all sorts of possible information and scenarios about this band. One option they talked about was preloading fast passes onto the band at home then you would just hold the band to the sensor to use the pass. Seems neat, I like the concept of not needing to carry anything because the band is both the pass and a form or payment, similar to a key to the world card. - DisneyGirlAtHeart

I like a hate this idea, it means a lot of planning ahead. I sometimes go to the park without advanced notice. And how will this work for ap? I don't want to wear this thing 24/7 - Pixarprincess 531.4 #214 5:48PM
I'm ok with Disney being my "Big Brother"! - ShariRenee
1505.1 #50 5:06PM
This sounds interesting, definitely interested in seeing what it can do. It would be cool to see not only your park visits but how many times you ride each attraction, your average wait times, trend in visits, etc. - Oinker34

I foresee so many problems with this thing. But I'm hopeful that it'll work out! - Nyghtngale

For all of you not liking RFID chips they are already in a ton of things since they can be as thin as a piece of paper. And a very tiny circle. - MeridasHair

A professor I once had said they (manufacturers) put these in our shoes. - aidensmama 336.3 #442 11:16PM
Awesome, love the idea and the personalized experiences that are possible! Also much more efficient. - Normstar

There was nothing but a link in your post. Hard to search. - Viktorius 137.1 #2484 12:54AM
I am pretty sure the OP knows how to use the search. ;) - MrsMears 212.0 #1449 12:59AM
