From Mouseplanet.com: Disney has filed an application with the FCC for a "Magic Band" wrist band for potential use in their theme parks. The wristbands would contain a small transmitter and RFID tags that would allow them to interact in a variety of ways around the Disney parks. (Think of the 'Glow with the Show Ears' at Disneyland that also use RFID technology.) Potential uses include park admission, room key access, charging to room accounts, and FASTPASS access. All of these functions do or could utilize the RFID function to some degree. No word on when or if these will be approved and implemented.
