I love Magicbands, I made sure to buy them for my family when we take my son for his first trip and my parents first trip since ‘99.
However, it’s antiquated technology at this point. Almost everyone has a smartphone these days which includes the necessary NFC tech to keep your tickets/room keys on your phone. So this is how Disney begins phasing the bands out. You can still have them if you want them but you have to pay a premium for them.
Which is fine, IMO, since in the 20’s we’re looking for every possible way to cut out extra waste.
I wish they could still offer them for free to children who may not have cellphones yet, but if you really want a free option other than your phone you can still get a Key To The World card.
I do think they need them for younger kids. I just recently downloaded magic mobile cards onto my apple watch but is has both mine and DD7’s. I’m not sure how that works as far as scanning into parks as I haven’t tried it yet. I’d much rather have her just use her band. In addition, I have a bit of security knowing if she gets lost a cast member can just scan her band and its linked to me.
Ok I will not say anything dismissive. Talk to your therapist. You are entitled to your feelings. SNL crosses lots of lines but beating up a heckling puppet isn’t one for me.
Edited: I actually thought the purple swollen eyes were clever
I know the voices weren’t spot on but … puppets… Key & Peele sketches are fab. I felt like I could see Key’s influence on this episode of SNL. There have been casts that I avoided until they rotated out. I like the current cast.
I often fast forward thru the whole show and just watch weekend update which always makes me laugh. I love Michael Che and Colin Jost and Kate McKinnon is fabulous but I find a lot of it not funny at all. However, that episode with Adam Driver was fabulous. There are episodes and guests that make the show here and there. The Will Ferrell years and the Phil Hartman/Mike Myers years are my fave casts of my lifetime.
my DH only watches the weekend update too, they are the BEST right now! Elon Musk last week??? was awkward and funny at the same time; surprising host.
And I could totally relate to the one skit with Gen Z lingo and the mom dying. My DD13 talks like that and I don’t know what she’s saying. Apparently bussin’ means good and git means kid? I mean why?
