It will be interesting to see if DLP gets a more beefed up version, while DLR and WDW keep the simple sing-along version

And Universal will be following.

The other resorts would have to buy the system from WDI and that would help to lower the research and development costs for MyMagic+ for TWDC.

The back story, true or not, is fascinating.
Originally Posted By dagobert I read the article too, but let's wait and see. DLP is still struggling so hard so that plans might change over and over again. I really hope that MyMagic+ is coming. We loved it at WDW. The App worked fine and it was fantastic that we could reserve three fastpasses in advance. Since DLP isn't as big as WDW, I think that people should only be allowed to reserve one or two fastpasses. Even if the fastpass+ system isn't coming, it would be good to have the room key and the entrance ticket on the MagicBand. Until now we had two cards for that. I really hope he is right about the attractions and that DLP is going to invest to upgrade some rides.

It will be interesting to see how they work to combat the popular low-capacity attractions like Toy Story Playland, which will only be worse once FP is added
