Disney World Now Makes Toddlers Get Fingerprint Scans

If you’re gonna shell out your life’s savings for a ticket to Disney World, then you’d better keep safe from the Big Bad Wolf at any cost. Older children and adult visitors have had their fingers scanned for years.

As of now, the Ticket Tag system is mandatory at Disney World parks for guests ages three and up. Older guests have already been scanning their fingers.

Without the finger scan requirement, the company argues that it is easy for those attending its parks to share tickets between each other, reports Orlando Sentinel.

According to Disney, the new policy helps the company to ensure a seamless entry experience for guests and also control ticket fraud.

The new policy is an expansion of Disney’s existing finger-scanning program (“Ticket Tag” in Disney parlance) used to admit people 10 and over to theme parks and water parks.

The finger scanning process applies to Disney World in Florida, not Disneyland in California. Parents have the option of using their own prints if they are uncomfortable with their children being scanned.
