MagicBands are a plastic bracelets that contain RFID radios, in use at Walt Disney World Resort. The MagicBands form the central part of the MyMagic+ experience, providing a way for the system to connect data to guests. This includes connecting park tickets, hotel room keys, payments, and PhotoPass information to the MagicBands. The bands were announced on January 7, 2013 by Tom Staggs as a part of MyMagic+.[2]

Development

[edit]
Main article: MyMagic+ § Development

MagicBands were developed alongside the MyMagic+ program as a way to tie all of the different elements of the program together. The MagicBand idea came at the start of the Next Generation Experience (the code name for what became MyMagic+), when one of the original five members of the project, business development VP John Padgett, was on a flight between Burbank, the Walt Disney Company's headquarters, and Orlando, the location of Walt Disney World.[3] The idea was based on a product Padgett found in SkyMall magazine. Soon after, a makeshift xBand (the original code name for the MagicBand) was created using a strip of velcro, plastic liner, and a small RFID tag.[3]

The original MagicBand design was created by Frog Design. The original design consists of an outer plastic grey bracelet, which can be removed to adjust for a smaller sized wrist, and an inner plastic bracelet. The inner plastic bracelet is one of eight base colors,[4] which can then have a series of different designs printed on them for an extra fee. Sealed inside of the middle of the inner band is the circuitry, consisting of high frequency and ultra-high frequency antennas and a coin cell battery,[5] all embedded on a PCB board.[6][7][8][9] Directly outside of the circuitry is an outline of Mickey Mouse's head on the front, while the back includes the Band ID, the FCC ID number, and other information.[3]

On November 19, 2016, a new MagicBand design, MagicBand 2, was announced. The new design increases the size of the Mickey head and the circuitry area. This part, called the Icon, is able to be removed with a special screwdriver and placed in other bands or special accessories such as a key-chain.[10][11][12]

Implementation

[edit]

MagicBands are free to Disney Resort guests and Annual Passholders. While other guests receive a card with an RFID chip inside, they are able to purchase a MagicBand online or at the parks.[13]

Touchpoints, consisting of a ring with an outline of Mickey Mouse's head[3], are located at park entry points, Fastpass+ entry points, PhotoPass locations, and point of sales location. When a guest walk up to one, they place their MagicBand's circuitry location against the center of the the ring (known as putting "Mickey to Mickey"[3]), in order to engage the system. The ring and outline on the touchpoint will then light up green if access is granted, while it will turn blue if cast member assistance is required.[3] Some special edition MagicBands with graphics printed on them will cause the touchpoints to light up different colors and make different noises then the default green, when access is granted.[14][15][16] An example of this is the red Lightsaber Star Wars themed MagicBand, which changed the default green to red.[17] In normal settings, the touchpoints will never turn red, due to the negative connotation of the color.[18]

Handheld MagicBand readers are used at sit-down restaurants for point of sales and by PhotoPass photographers to link photos.[19] These handheld readers do not have the light up features of the touchpoints.

[edit]

Competitors

[edit]

On November 3, 2016, Walt Disney World competitor Universal Orlando announced the TapuTapu system for their new water park, Volcano Bay.[23] The system will allow Universal guests to tap their wristbands to a touchpoint, which will then place them in a virtual queue. Fifteen minutes before their wait time is up, the device will vibrate to let the wearer know that they should head back to the attraction.[24][25]

Shaquem Griffin (born July 20, 1995) is an American football Linebacker for the UCF Knights. Shaquem and his twin brother Shaquill both played for UCF.[7]

Early life

[edit]

Shaquem Griffin was born to Tangie and Terry Griffin[8] on July 20, 1995, less than two minutes after Shaquill.[9][10] Shaquem was born with amniotic band syndrome affecting his left hand, causing his fingers on his left hand to not fully develop.[8][11][12] At age four, his mother found him in the kitchen, attempting to use a butcher's knife to self-amputate his fingers due to the pain. His parents scheduled an amputation the next day.[8][10] However, Griffin was able to continue playing sports without his left hand, competing in track, baseball, and football alongside his brother.[8]

Griffin told Ralph Warner and NFL Network in November 2017 that he plans to continue his football career in the NFL.
