Hiya Natasha,
Welcome to planDisney! Can you believe you will be strolling along Main Street, U.SA., in a little over a month?! I hope you are as excited as I am for you.
Thank you for your question, Natasha! At Walt Disney World Resort, fingerprint scans are used to ensure that
Theme Park tickets are not transferred between Guests. So you will be asked to present your Disney Band (physical ticket card or electronic barcode) and your fingerprint for entry into the Theme Parks. If you are uncomfortable with providing your fingerprint, you can opt-out, however, and instead use a valid photo ID for verification (the name on the ID must match the name on the ticket). If you want to do this, stop at Guest Services before heading to the turnstiles and set up the alternative verification.
I hope that was helpful, Natasha! Your visit falls in the midst of the holiday season, and it is a truly special time at Walt Disney World Resort. I hope you’ve saved room in your itinerary for
Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! If you want any tips and tricks about visiting during the holidays or need anything else, please come back and see
us.
Happy Planning,
Ashley F.
