No, this is not replacing the FP+ kiosks that allow you to add more FP selections, it is replacing the service centers (the trouble desk for issues with how to use MyMagic+).
I'd bet the bonus fast passes will be available via app if the kiosks go. No need to be glued to your device, we love FP+ and I'm never stuck staring at my phone.
Now if Disney would just make a magic band with a built in watch it'd be perfect!
I'm stoked about fantasmic seating. Or any seating. No more middle-of-the-road jerks, hooray!
They have actually released watches that slide on to your Magic band. :)
Omg, that's me in the top photo! hahaha how cool.
That is cool!
The problem with removing the 'service centers' is that once you use your three fastpasses reserved online, you have to go to a kiosk to get additional fastpasses. When I was there in June their were lines and waits for the kiosks everywhere. Now they're getting rid of some? That will only work if you can reserve more on the app after your three are used.
The MyMagic+ kiosks are not the same as Fastpass kiosks.
I think they are talking about the service kiosks not the fastpass kiosks. Although, I'd like to be able to use the app to book my next 3 fastpasses.
So this means more people with their faces stuck in technology instead of watching the excitement on their kids faces or watching them at all!! And no not everybody wants to be on these stupid devices all day!!
They said that the service centers are going away they did not say the kiosks are being taken out. The service centers are where people go for help and now that bugs are being eliminated they do not need as many service centers. Nothing was said that the kiosks are going away.
I don't like having every minute of my day planned out months in advance. I don't like only getting three fast passes. Even though you can technically get more, the only ones left are for rides that don't need a FP. It is especially bad for locals. My sister-in-law can no longer ride the big rides with us when we come because the fast passes are gone.
