I’m unsure because of the source. Viral Disney is known for fake news.
Dress code is supposed to be a permanent thing but not sure how well it will be enforced.
This makes sense but a system like this may end up confusing people and result in potentially missed pick-up Times.Seems like one of those things where a lot of the time even 3 hours is more than enough but for those few times when 4 hours might be needed they changed it for everyone rather than having varying times based on when the travel was. Not sure how hard that would be for them to manage but might make more sense for them to have like low, regular, peak times and vary the pick up times based on that

They provide a letter to your room the day before checkout listing your pickup time and advising you to be at the stop 15 minutes (I believe) prior. I don't think there would be any confusion unless somebody has a different interpretation of what 3:30 pm means LOL!! Regardless of whether you agree with your time or not - you gotta show up at the bus stop 15 minutes prior.This makes sense but a system like this may end up confusing people and result in potentially missed pick-up Times.

@TheMaxRebo - I think dynamic timing is neat idea too. I don't see them doing it but it would be great if they did. For somebody doing resort airline check-in with pre-check 4 hours would be a killer. However for somebody needing to check bags at the airport with no pre-check I can see why they'd like the additional time. Too bad they can't customize it to somebody's unique situation BUT the problem there is many stupid people would try to cut it too close and blame Disney for missing a flight.
I'd like to know how many people actually missed their flights at 3 hour pick-up time. I've never gotten to an airport 2 hours in advance of my flight and not made the flight - and I've been stuck in some heinous lines. Plus here your bags are already checked. Heck, I've gotten to airports 30 minutes before my flight and made my flight. It seemed to me the overreaction of the 4 hours was done due to a couple of complaints, and then the 4 hour change got them even MORE complaints - so they went back.
I bet some people did miss flights - but can't imagine it was Disney's fault. They probably just messed around at the airport then tried to pin it on Disney - like you said a couple of complaints!I'd like to know how many people actually missed their flights at 3 hour pick-up time.

If true this is a very interesting development. The ability to use a smart phone with BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) can't be far behind. Imagine Disney moving to this technology for park entrance and FP as well. They could do away with MB's.

Me too!I'm just waiting for the moment when I can use my apple watch.

But it’s a barcode scan not an nfc or blue tooth read.At Disneyland and DCA, they do allow you to use your smart phone for your FP scans. So that part of the technology is currently available. Given how much $ they get from selling special Magic Bands (right @rteetz?), I really do not see Magic Bands going away at WDW.
