Been 3 times now since the new cup and unlucky for me the system has been working. You also can't reactivate one of the new cups, you have to buy a whole new cup.
Also for UCA HS nationals our bands only worked as room keys. We had actual cards and passes to get into parks, wwos, etc. The bands didn't do everything like they do if you're on a vacation. Not sure if it will be the same for worlds.

When I went for UCA. I bought a cup and my mom bought one. I was going to make my daughter share mine. Sitting at the table closest to the machines and I noticed a cup that had been there before I got my drinks and 10 mins later still unattended. I approached the cup and there was a full soda in it and the ice had completely melted. I washed the cup out really good and placed it back on the machine. It had the same refill date as mine. So someone must of bought a length of stay mug that day just as I did and filled it and left. I'm assuming the kid probably got sidetracked! Poor kid probably got chewed out by his/her parents for leaving the cup. So that was a win!!!:)
As far as the magic bands I was told by some coaches for UCA we should leave the bands separated from the park hopper cards because they couldn't be connected to my bands.
Well I called the my Disney experience ppl because it wouldn't allow me to link my cards/bands and I couldn't even sign up for my fast passes through the app. I didn't have some confirmation number it was telling me I needed.
So to make it easier I went to the front of the lobby and spoke to an extremely nice helpful guy, he connected my park hoppers to my bands and even set up my fast passes for my whole stay all that Thursday night!
It was much more easier and convenient for the park entrances and fast passes. So I left my actual cards I got for me and my mom at the hotel but on days Jaylen competed I sent her card with her because she didn't wear the band obviously but all we did was wear our bands.
The only thing that sucked once in WWOS every time I entered the arena, j center, or whatever it was annoying. They were just checking peoples park hopper cards/not scanning them but just looking at the cards to make sure they say cheer. This was the easiest and quickest way to get people through the doors. Well since I didn't bring my park hopper cards they would physically get out there scanner and have to scan mine in to make sure I wasn't scamming them to get in. So this is where it slowed me down because as I'm watching all 8 teams running from venue to venue I was the one who held up the line. Lol
Also I know one of our cheerleaders had grabbed her sisters park hopper card so when the bus with the team dropped them off at WWOS for warm ups they wouldn't let her in because the finger print didn't match. So they had to wait for her sister to board a bus and head over there to give her the right park hopper! So just make sure if you have multiple people.. once you use that park hopper you don't accidentally switch with someone else!
