    My unfortunately has to do with RFID, not this. This is a pretty nice piece of tech that adds to something, not takes away.

    If RFID does the same without destroying theme and story, I'll eat a crow.

    I will admit that the Mickey thing has grown on me. Still I'd like to see some new RIDE tech in the parks sometime soon.

    Tech like what they're doing with the Forbidden Journey.

    On another board I read there was a topic complaining about this and "what about the deaf people" If mickey talks he suddenly isn't "equal access" anymore..

    Interesting view point.

    Disney is already using RFID backstage with cast costumes so it'll be interesting to make sure any onstage technology uses a different signal :p

    What about blind people? Blind people can't see him, if he talks now they can hear him... people are so petty.
