Toy Story Characters on Apple Watch Faces; Disney World Cracking Down on Guests Cheating the FastPass+ System

Toy Story Characters on Apple Watch Faces:


This fall when the new Apple Watch comes out Buzzy, Woody, and Jessie are coming to the new Apple Watch os4. Our favorite Toy Story characters will animate on the watch face throughout the day which means updates, appointment reminders, and checking the time of day will become infinitely more awesome. 

Woody:
He’s the rootinest, tootinest cowboy in the west, and now he’ll be able keep you company as you listen to music and workout. With this cowboy on our wrists, we’ll always remember to “reach for the sky!”

Jessie:
Yee-haw, this is one awesome watch! We already feel a little more energetic thinking about how awesome it will be to have this feisty and enthusiastic cowgirl with us all day!

Buzz Lightyear:
It’s “to infinity … and beyond” on this Apple Watch face! With the courageous, confident space ranger and all the new Apple updates and awesome features of the watchOS 4, we’ll feel a little more heroic in our daily lives.

This is so exciting and I just may have to get an Apple Watch now.

Disney World Cracking Down on Guests Cheating FastPass+ System:


Disney will be cracking down on guests cheating the FastPass+ system very soon with an "In-Park Validation" system as they are calling it according to WDW News Today. Guests have been using expired tickets to gain extra FastPasses after they've entered the park with a valid ticket. It has been a loophole that allows bookings through the in-park kiosks with expired tickets or a second ticket that has been linked to their account. 

Another issue is with 3rd party tour guides, who promise guests FastPass+ usage for all the attractions. Their employees have been rope-dropping at the parks with the expired tickets and cards and booking the most popular attractions first thing in the morning at the kiosks. This prevents paying guests from being able to pick the attractions they want to FastPass because they aren't available.
"This in-park validation system will check to ensure that a guest used an active ticket for admission before redeeming a FastPass+. If you didn’t, the Cast Member at the FastPass+ line at any attraction can see this and deny you entry. Repeated attempts will lock MyDisneyExperience accounts from utilizing the FastPass+ booking option, which can be a serious deal for those abusing the system. Guest Relations will be able to unblock accounts if the behavior was deemed non-abusive."
This validation system is set to roll out in the next few weeks, but no official date has been set.
