Similarly, when did Disney start fingerprinting? 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. I'm so excited for your upcoming trip to the Walt Disney World Resort where magic awaits you at every turn! You will not need to bring an ID to enter the theme parks. To enter the theme parks, you will need a MagicBand or admission card along with your biometric identification fancy wording for scanning your finger.
Disney does do spot checks and age kids ages. Again, having a birth certificate along for honest parents with big kids. If you're caught be prepared to pay the higher admission. According to the Walt Disney World website, the system scans a finger and converts the image into a "unique numerical value" that is tied to the ticket when it is used to re-enter or visit another park.
The park doesn't store fingerprints and discards the scan "immediately," according to the website. Do they scan your fingerprint at Six Flags? At parks using biometric passes, we take a scan of your finger to link your card to your unique number. The scan of your finger does not contain enough information to recreate your fingerprint. So in order to incentivize you to stay longer, they price their park tickets so that after the 4th day, each additional day costs less and less.
Take a 5-day pass. This also makes it very easy to exploit. Say I only want to go on a 5 day vacation. You might be asking, why does Disney care so much? They are getting their hotel and food profits, why are they nickel and diming on tickets. Because anyone can buy park tickets and stay off site, or bring in their own food. Just as much as nickel and diming is the fastest way to poverty, is the also the quickest way to riches.
Imagine if everyone did this. Disney needs to link the tickets to everyone they are sold to. But there's one security measure that's unique to Disney World that leaves some guests raising their eyebrows. When you enter the park, you'll have to put your finger on a reader and wait for the machine to scan your finger. Don't worry—the powers that be at Disney aren't collecting your fingerprints into some clandestine database, and they're not trying to track you via fingerprint.
The Disney World website assures visitors that the park doesn't store anyone's prints. Instead, they pair your unique print with a number, which they match with your ticket, and then immediately delete the scans themselves. So what is the purpose of this security measure? It's actually a way to prevent ticket fraud. However, this is only a practice at Disney World in Florida—California's Disneyland doesn't do it at least not yet. Find out some more differences between the parks you never knew about.
As Disney YouTuber Rob Plays explains, Disney tries to entice guests to stay longer by offering extra park days after day four for a far cheaper price than the first four days. What they're trying to prevent is people buying, for instance, a ten-day ticket, using it for five days, and then selling the ticket, still with five park days on it, for less than the first five days would normally cost a parkgoer—but far more than they themselves paid for those five days.
In short, they're trying to prevent guests from beating the system. Please be aware that, despite our best efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

Of course, there are plenty of other, more important places where biometrics are being used nowadays…CLEAR, Global Entry, some workplaces, etc. Somehow, I doubt it ;-. Oh, and those Magic Bands I mentioned? Like this post? Please share it!
