    • Chris’ Disney Adventure is the best segment
  • [Magic Bands 2](http://www.wdwmagic.com/other/mymagicplus/news/21nov2016-disney-unveils-the-magicband-2.htm)
    • Disney is trying to save expenses by not having to permanently have the RFID chip in every band

    • Can put the pebble in other items
    • The data that comes from the Magic Bands must be incredible

    • [Showed a clip of one of the AAs](https://d23.com/first-look-at-the-navi-river-journey-shaman/?share_token=f0fe172676)
    • Opinions:
      • Glenn couldn’t care less about Avatar; should have spent the money on original IP
      • Chris: theming is a waste of talent for the Imagineers; does not agree with using Avatar
    • Our opinions aside: the AA looks fantastic
    • It’s a shame that technology isn’t being used on something with Disney theming
  • [Cabanas in the Magic Kingdom](http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/201611/5344/)
    • Glenn thinks it’s a huge money grab by the Walt Disney Company
    • Chris plays Devil’s Advocate and makes a case for it…and makes good points
    • It’s mainly the presentation of the current test of the cabanas in Tomorrowland that’s bugging Glenn
    • If they were themed and out of the way, it wouldn’t be bad
