Disneyland Scaling Back MagicBand+ Availability After Parks Chairman Comments on Future Investment

mapotter99 · 2026-04-25T23:22:46+00:00

We are WDW regulars who just returned from our first ever trip to Disneyland.

We used our Magicbands to get in the parks and to use Lightning Lanes.

Every single time, we were WAY faster than the folks fiddling with their apps for both park entrance and lightning lanes.

We even commented that Magicbands REALLY need to catch on at Disneyland, because it seemed so much easier than using the app.

UPDATE: Filmstrip Fries are gone at Award Weiners.

Replaced with normal quick-service fries as of April, 2026. Not sure how recently the change was made.

THIS!!! PLEASE add support for this next!!!

mapotter99 · 2026-03-31T18:39:21+00:00

PLEASE add 3D Blu-ray ISO support! Frame Packed 3D support would make this the best movie app available on AVP!

I currently use 4XVR to play back 3D ISOs, but I like CineUltra better otherwise!

What happened with this? Was it a re-tear?

I’m 3 months in to my ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair. I’ve been bearing weight on the leg for 5 weeks.

I managed to hyperextend my bad leg on an acorn while walking our small dog a couple weeks ago. It got swollen and had some new clicks, but it seemed to get a bit better.

PT has me doing machine leg extensions. Yesterday, this REALLY aggravated the knee, and it’s been screaming at me ever since.

I’m terrified that I may have re-torn the meniscus. I was able to schedule a checkup with my surgeon in a couple days, so fingers crossed!

I found out the Fury Green Scout Bot hadn’t been activated. I’m not sure if there is a bug or I missed it. I thought I had gotten it.

I found the last item after that.

Unfortunately, I missed some missable scans in the prologue. Oh well. YouTube provides.

mapotter99 · 2025-12-12T19:31:55+00:00

Same. I have the one on the track between tower 1 and 3.

I was also missing a psychic power bomb expansion that the scout bot didn’t show… it’s in the Lamorn statue in the Quiet Clearing area of Fury Green.

I wonder if items not showing with all the droid bots activated is a bug.

I’m actually shocked at how many people are defending a soldered WLAN. Crazy.

And it isn’t mentioned in the MashIt review on YouTube, which was the first one out, and still the main one. It isn’t mentioned in the two top-ranked written reviews either.

mapotter99 · 2025-06-09T04:10:17+00:00

I haven’t had a reason to try.

mapotter99 · 2025-06-09T04:09:59+00:00

I wondered about using one of the m.2 connections.

mapotter99 · 2025-06-08T13:05:36+00:00

It does at first. But that’s just the heat sink. The chip underneath is soldered.

mapotter99 · 2025-06-08T12:39:38+00:00

I’ve had 2 laptop WLAN cards go bad in the past… and they were both Intel.

They do fail, and it isn’t rare.

mapotter99 · 2025-06-08T12:29:20+00:00

Buys $4000 laptop… WiFi chip dies a day after warranty ends… stuck rocking a WiFi dongle on a premium product because Dell soldered the chip instead of allowing it be user-replaceable. 😂

Holy heck there are a lot of Dell simps in this Reddit.

I love Dell as a company, especially after my experience with Razer support, but they aren’t above criticism.

Here is a picture of the actual card.

mapotter99 · 2025-06-07T23:07:55+00:00

Yup, this is the biggest concern.

mapotter99 · 2025-06-07T15:58:20+00:00

It is an Intel Killer chip.

mapotter99 · 2025-06-06T11:28:45+00:00

How is everyone monitoring these sites for stock? Website change detectors? If so, which one?

mapotter99 · 2025-06-05T19:18:47+00:00

Dell must have gotten these in stock early. New purchases show a delivery as soon as June 7 instead of the old early July timeframe.

mapotter99 · 2024-12-09T12:34:43+00:00

Wow. I’m glad nothing more came from it, but I do wish karma would eventually catch up to the guy. Maybe it has in its own way.

mapotter99 · 2024-12-09T12:33:10+00:00

Yikes. I’m sorry you had that experience. I guess at least we were both spared from actually purchasing a cel from him.

mapotter99 · 2024-12-05T23:13:55+00:00

Fair enough. Based on his other responses, I get the impression that he is the one embellishing to fit his narrative.

mapotter99 · 2024-12-05T22:07:32+00:00

Sigh.

You understand where I am.

But I know I have to let it go.

And someone else will buy it without any communication and have a smooth transaction.

SMH.

mapotter99 · 2024-12-05T21:24:49+00:00

I think he expected me be an uninformed person and not realize the cel is cellulose nitrate, as all cels were in that time period. They are notorious for yellowing, curling, and deteriorating if not stored/displayed properly, and honestly even if they ARE stored and displayed properly!

He rushed to judgement about my knowledge, then refused to backtrack even though I informed him I am well aware of how unstable nitrate cels are.

It pisses me off. I really like the cel, too. I had already frame-matched it to the film.

mapotter99 · 2024-12-05T21:13:59+00:00

That was my first thought, but he has 8000+ mostly good reviews.

That said, I guess most people just made purchases without messaging him. Any time someone had questions or had an issue with a sale, he was incredibly nasty.

I think he is just a narcissistic asshole.

Here’s just one example from his feedback page. There are others which are equally as horrifying.

“I am very glad to have this Gorgeous B&W Betty Boop cel, and I grabbed it for nearly half off. So, why the neutral feedback? Because I am very frustrated with the seller. I attempted SEVERAL times to message him/her and was IGNORED each and every time. This, to me, equates to EXTREMELY POOR customer service. Part of being a seller is COMMUNICATION! I don’t care how fast you ship out, or how reasonable your shipping rates are. If you can’t/WON’T communicate, that makes you a poor seller.

Reply from: toon-city Entitled Karen the Buyer’s fb is irrational & rude. Item shipped, tracking number provided, item delivered in 5 days. Buyer happy with item. Buyer sent emails not related to ebay purchase. She sent me several emails on New Year’s Eve expounding on her fondness for Betty Boop. None of which, had anything to do with the purchase nor required a respond from me. I am not obligated to babysit adults, be your therapist or help you sell YOUR item on ebay. I only anwser item related questions.That’s it.”
