The Magic Kingdom was testing a new form of entry at the front gates today!
Disney has been finding new ways to implement more touchless options across property to limit guest to guest or cast to guest contact and here is one more way to achieve that.
You walk up to the screen, it takes your face scan, swipe your band, and boom…now it recognizes your face! In theory – the machine taking your “scan” creates a special number unique to you, associated with your method of entry and lets you pass once it’s recognized.
We tried it this morning and can’t wait to go again to see if the technology is working how it should.
The testing was for a short time and will probably continue to happen for the following days/weeks. The Disney Company is encouraging guests to come back and re-enter the parks to keep testing the technology’s progress.
There have been multiple technical, physical and administrative safety measures implemented to ensure guest information stays secure. in the meantime the testing is optional and you must remove hats/glasses on head but not your facial covering!
How cool is this new innovative way of entering the parks?
