Where's this idea coming from that you need a phone or the app? Book your FP+ on the website, or at one of the kiosks if you don't do it in advance. You won't need your phone or an app in the parks at all. Not sure what I'm missing here.
I don't have a smart phone, don't plan on getting one, and I don't see how I'm at any disadvantage whatsoever. When everyone else is looking at their phone, I'll be doing stuff.
Here is some interesting info on how attraction closures will be handled.

Or avoid standing in kiosk lines when you chose BTMRR and it goes down right before your FP return time? I mean, BTMRR never goes down, right?
Unfortunately that ship has sailed. Tom Staggs said they heard us guests want to interact with our technology in the parks.
I can assure you I'm not the one who told him that.
Haven't read all of the pages, but what do you think the odds are of this being live by Jan 19, 2014?
My guess (just a guess)...
100%

And of course that is your choice and by not using this technology you are making the trade off of spending time walking to down attractions and lining up for other options. The best thing here I guess is that this will work for all people...imagine what the lines at the fp kiosks would be if everyone chose not to use the smartphone technology.

You are correct. By refusing to check my phone every 5 minutes, just in case Disney wants to tell me about my vacation, I will be forced into a second rate vacation (possibly). Oh, wait! No I won't. I'll spend my several thousand dollars on a different vacation IF that is how it is going to go--or could possibly go. Disney needs to decide and inform!

Hey we have QTY 5 ATT phones. 2 are up for renewal.
One has been iphone, and one Samsung 4.
Looking at the new Samsung 4 "ACTIVE" which is water proof.
Is there any reason to choose one over the other when it comes to the new Disney FP+ process etc? Or is it too early to tell.
WDW and living on the lake have us thinking water proof.
I hope they get this up and running really soon, or after my trip the first week of November. My next trip wont be till May, they should have the bugs worked out by then (hopefully).
