Effective January 2, , all current WDW admission media will use the finger scans. Effective June 20, , all WDW admission media including ones purchased prior to began using the finger scans. Does everyone that has one of those passes have to use the finger scan system? Originally all chilkd tickets were exempt from usibng the scanners but in Disney began requiring it for everyone. If you personally prefer not using the finger scanners, a photo ID can always override the use of biometrics.
Just present the gate CM a photo ID and be admitted without using the scanner. Otherwise, you will have to use the finger scanners to get in. How does the scanner know that it is my fingers, not someone else's? Because the first time that you use the pass, your initial biometric reading will be recorded. This is the reading that all subsequent admissions will be compared to. The scanner uses six lasers to take a picture of the contours of your fingers.
If you are wearing a ring the first time you scan and the second time you are without the ring, it will not recognize you. If you use the opposite hand, it will not recognize you. And if you wear gloves, it will not recognize you. We went to a park opening one morning and they told us not to use the finger scans. What's up with that? During times of the day when lines of guests waiting to get into the park are long, some parks will turn off the biometric scanners to allow faster entry for everyone.
This is not always done and cannot be counted on to happen. What happens if I try to use someone else's pass and it won't work? What about my old pre park tickets? Will I have to use the ticket tag system for those now? Yes you will. The person that first uses or already used the old ticket with the finger scan will become tied to that old ticket and will be the only one who can use it in the future.
Nancy writes: Two of us had no problems entering with our RFID cards but my one son had problems at every park. He would scan his card and when he placed his finger, it always declined him. The Cast Members would ask him to try different fingers, or ask him what parks he had used the card at but it never worked. They always had to call over another Cast Member who would swipe his card through a hand-held device.
Bonnie S. It took almost 15 minutes to get the problem straightened out. At Magic Kingdom, same thing but with different person each day. According to reports, this is a preliminary test before the mandatory biometric finger scanning is reimplemented across the theme parks early next week. Though Disney had previously experimented with face-scanning software as a potential touchless replacement for the fingerprint scan, it looks like these tests either didn't score well with guests or were too costly to implement, as the fingerprint scans will be back in the near future.
This re-implementation of fingerprint scanning comes amid Walt Disney World's increasing rollback of masking at the theme parks and reopening of buffet-style dining at several locations around the resort. How do you feel about the return of mandatory fingerprint scanning at the front of Walt Disney World resort theme parks?
