The Disney MagicBand is an interesting appliance. Rakim\u2019s blog post<\/a> explains greater research in the band and comes to the conclusion that the \u201cmore customized experience\u201d might be worth the personal data breach.<\/p>\n I find it very interesting that on the DisneyWorld site (link below), there is plenty of talk about the MagicBand\u2019s perks, including ease of room entrance, food purchases, and FastPass+ access to a multitude of experiences. But there is absolutely no notice of any of the \u201cbehind the scenes\u201d features of the bands, especially Disney\u2019s ability to track your every waking move. With this data, Disney can increase their efficiency, making more profits, while making more people \u201chappy.\u201d<\/p>\n I personally think it is an ingenious strategy and will ultimately do wonders for the amusement park. But I do believe that this trickery is not natural. Personally, the best part about Disney World for me was that everything was unexpected. I never knew what ride, structure, or cartoon characters I was going to see at every turn. It was exciting and incredibly appealing to me in my adolescence. I feel like the band takes away from this experience. It makes actions predictable and ultimately less fun for a couple extra bucks. The data will definitely make the park more efficient, but playing on people\u2019s affinity towards \u201cimmediate payoffs,\u201d (Dr. Sample\u2019s Comment) could have consequences that affect the unpredictability of the park and human nature as a whole in the future.<\/p>\n https:\/\/disneyworld.disney.go.com\/faq\/bands-cards\/understanding-magic-band\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Disney MagicBand is an interesting appliance.
