ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) – In an effort to combat fraud,
children between the ages of 3 and 9 should now be prepared to have their
fingers scanned when they enter the Walt Disney World theme parks.
The Orlando Sentinel reports that the new requirement is
in place to help block the use of stolen and shared tickets. Older children and
adult visitors have already been having their fingers scanned for years.
Previously, younger children’s tickets were more easily
transferable because they had no finger images attached to them.
Disney introduced scanners more than a decade ago that
used “finger geometry” – pictures of several points on people’s fingers.
Parents who feel uncomfortable with having their children
get their fingers scanned can use their own instead.
