Biometrics At The Disney Gates

When a Disney guest presents his pass at the turnstile, he is asked to insert the pass into a reader, and after doing so, to make a "peace sign" with his index and middle fingers and insert those fingers into a scanning area.

During the scan, a camera takes a picture of several points on each person's index and middle fingers and assigns a numerical value to the image. The scan - which is accomplished in less than a second - measures the length and width of the individual’s two fingers and the spread distance between the digits.

Once the scan is taken - and all adults are required to do so - the pass is returned to the guest.
