Disney corp wants your money and zero experience. We used the app along with the basic card and had no issues. Hubby is in IT for years We did not buy the up sale glitchy bands. We were lucky to have non expiring old tickets and no kids with us because you will need pay extra through the app just to get on two rides a day per park. Also dont order food with the app unless it is only an online place. You will always waite longer then those of us who stood in the basic line.
