MagicBands and Bears, Oh My!

Castle Bears. I love the Country Bear Jamboree. I’m not sure how it ended up in a week with 1900 Park Fare, Eating with the Founding Fathers at the Liberty Tree Tavern or The coming of the MagicBands, but they all just seemed to gel for me on a sub-nuclear level. This is the kind of week that I want to have when I go to Disney. You can plan, and you can have a map that gets you from attraction to attraction at record breaking speed to make sure that you get in all the must-dos on your list, but there is something to be said for winging it once in a while, and just enjoying yourself, that and trying new things. There’s always going to be an new interactive queue or a character you haven’t seen at the park since you were a child, or new “room keys” that connect to smart phone apps that could be the way you get fast passes and make ADRs in the future. I’ll be very interested in making sure I know all the ins and outs of those MagicBand before we get there next time.

I do hope Disney’s got a good band for me though… I have rather thick wrists and like my watch bands (when I wear one) pretty loose.

So, here’s what happened this week:

Somehow I find myself the person people keep coming to and asking of before they go on a trip to Disney World. I'm the guy they seek out when they are trying to decide between hotels, or when they want to talk about their favorite attraction. I also consider myself a writer of fiction, and a tribal fireside storyteller.
