You use MDE once (which could be at home/hotel) to create a "MagicMobile pass" which then gets stored in your iPhone's digital wallet. After that you no longer have to use WiFi nor the MDE app. You just hold your phone against the scanner.
Don't have one and never will 😂

This is such an interesting development for me. I often wonder about how much I rely on my phone on Orlando holidays. So much so that I didn't sell my last one and I've kept it with a Pay as you go SIM as an emergency backup (paranoid? ).

Battery life and water are big concerns.

I do love the idea of being able to use an Apple watch or the phone... then there is something added to the magic with a Magic Band...

I shall watch this post with interest to see opinions and developments.

I will stick with the band, my phones not small. The ease of tapping your wrist is much more appealing.

The only way i would consider this is if i can get the whole families tickets and if they come back fast passes on one device. Kids will have to work on parents phones?

Its an alternative way. I would still use a magic band as my phone would be in my bag.
At least the kinks should be sorted by the time they roll it out to android phones.

I was a teeny bit disappointed at first and then realised it would be much better for me with my apple watch. I had to use my right wrist for magic band anyway which could be a pain getting in and out of some places so now I won't have that and I always wear my watch anyway.

Why not save millions developing the app and tell everyone just to stick an old plastic card on their phone case and pretend 😂

Yes it’s forced me to purchase an Apple Watch for that reason 😆.

I think this is good as it gives people choice. No one size will fit all and this is a good move for those who don’t want to pay extra for a band (maybe stay offsite) Disney will then not give the bands out to everyone staying onsite as they currently do, saving money.
For me, this would be good if I could use my Apple watch 👍
