Ticket System Update on the Way

February 28, 2008

The following is being reported by disneyworldtrivia.com:

Disney will be installing barcode readers at the turnstiles. Now, instead of scanning your finger, you will simply swipe your card and gain entry. No more choosing which hand or finger, waiting for people to get it “just right” - it will be a quick, automated process. I think this is a wonderful idea, as no longer will Guest interaction and familiarity with the process determine how long it takes to gain entry. As long as the card contains valid entry media on it, the Guest can gain access. Will this possibly allow people to use a card form someone else in their party? Probably. Is that a big deal? Not likely.

If this is true, the lines to enter any of the Walt Disney World theme parks are about to get shorter. For too long I have seen guests unable to use, for one reason or another, the finger scanning machines. I have seen people put their entire hand over it, people try to look into it as if it were an eye scanner, and even someone put their elbow on it (all sad but true stories). I certainly hope they go through with this change as soon as possible, as it will certainly make for a better experience for first time visitors and seasoned veterans of the parks.
