Those moments are great, but I personally have never had a moment as you described, of someone remembering me from years before. (In fact, I've more often experienced meeting a CM later in a trip and NOT being remembered.) Now, I've had some pretty great magical moments over the years, including Jasmine and Aladdin getting out of there M&G area to go get our daughter who was being shy, but I could easily see how these magical moments could happen more often with a bit of technological magic.
So, I'm gonna argue that it may mean nothing to YOU, but for a kid to have Cinderella or Aladdin call him/her by name can be a pretty amazing and memorable thing. And if it makes a magical memory for my child, I have a hard time saying that has zero meaning.
I read lots of stories (and have experienced) characters remembering someone from day to day. Like the time Ariel at Akershus asked us if we enjoyed our meal in the castle the day before. She said she was good friends with Cinderella. Even though I know how this works, it just far more awe-inspiring in my book than something being triggered by a microhip.
Sorry, but I'm just not excited about any of this.
