Too much math talk...my head hurt hurts.

Sorry. Anyway...

The thing about the off-site resorts handing out writstbands, I'm guessing that was meant to point out that Disney discovered the off-site resorts had been doing it because people showed up with the things on even though they were unnecessary. If so, that's pretty crazy and a good reason to get rid of the wristbands.

As far as people who've mentioned that you need to pull out your card plenty of other times and almost everyone can manage doing so without losing the card, I'll only retort that it's a lot easier to pull it out to buy a Coke then casually put it back in my pocket than it is when I need to show it to a cast member then dash into my Doom Buggy or Splash Mountain log or whatever. If we're showing them at the start of the queue, a'la Fastpass, then I have no problem with it.

I will agree, though, that we're kind of beating a dead horse here. The idea might be flawed but we're just going to have to live with it.
