Since we stated to plan this epic vacation, I've decided to keep abreast of all of the latest news out of Disney about Disney World. One of the key things that Disney seems to be focusing on is interaction. Most notably they seem to be attempting to incorporate modern technology towards making planning your trip easier. While a few of these new ideas sound great, many of them are making me a little worried.
Most notably are the restaurant reservations and fast pass reservations. As I understand it Disney is looking to make it possible to make reservations online for both restaurants and fast pass rides. This will allow people to plan out their trip to the minute, before even leaving home. You might even be able to order your food and pick a table long before you leave for Florida. How about knowing that at 3:30 pm on the third day of your trip, you'll be able to ride the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror? While the technology of this is interesting to me, the actual idea of planning my trip that far in advance sounds terrible.
I'm very worried that the Disney technology is going to take all of the spontaneity out of our epic adventure. It seems like they're designing the parks for those people that come again and again, and not for those of us that only want an occasional visit at most. It seems like you'll have to be in the know if you want to see something cool.
