The chip is inside the card. I have an annual pass to Disney World. The whole process of getting into the park takes about 2-3 seconds max. Disney is rolling out new cards to guests and cast members. The RFID chip came inside my new plastic annual pass card. The older paper tickets/cards are being phased out.
On the technical side, if someone uses a flashlight under one of the new pass cards, an antenna wire is visible around the inside edge of the card. The antenna picks up a charge from the field generated from the reader (the silver ball) and it gives power to the chip, also embedded in the card. The chip transmits a code and presto the reader turns green and the guest can enter the park. I’m very happy with this new process.
I forgot to mention the finger scanner aspect. When the plastic pass card is being held up to the reader the guest has to put their right index finger on the finger scanner. It’s also a quick process.
I love the idea and the scanner is way cool looking, but I don’t get the bio-metric finger scanner. If not for a fingerprint (and that would be scary at the very least) why check the shape of a finger? What about people who have had horrible accidents and now do not have hands. Far fetched and few in between, sure. It just seems like a needless step unless they want that info for a reason.
Actually, they kind of do take a fingerprint now. It used to be what you said, but ever since they changed to the single finger method it uses your fingerprint to come up with a sort of unique hash in order to identify you. (http://allears.net/pl/fingerscan.htm). I do like the RFID idea, but it might be hard to secure with so many of them around. If someone goes in with a scanner they know they’ll get targets at Disney World unless they all keep them in copper sleeves (which is impractical). Is it really worth the extra few seconds to lose that much security?
Picture this, a family like mine with five kids pulls up in a stroller. They have to hold the line up as they fish the kids out of their strollers. Then they have to keep the fingers still for each of them to get scanned hoping the kid won’t be scared of the process. Seems like it would be much faster for this family to hand seven tickets to the castmember and let them count heads as they pass through the stroller gate.
This is so neat! No waiting in line at a turnstile, you simply hold your ticket up to the scanner and place your finger onto the biometric scanner. My biggest tip would be: pack the antibacterial.

Really Micky Mouse outlines at light indicator. And green colour fits the situation. I would suggest to play fragments of soundtracks from different Disney cartoons when visitors successfuly pass a turnstile entrance. That would be fun for guests)))

Comments for Disney World begins testing RFID theme park entry at Epcot without turnstiles

Looks cool. Kinda confused about the process where you get the chip, but it looks pretty simplistic.

They have the finger thing on the current turnstiles so its nothing new.

“future tickets presumably will have RFID chips embedded inside them.” Disney is already doing this and all new tickets bought at Epcot today included the RFID chip already in it. http://twitter.com/?photo_id=1#!/ThemeParkReview/status/135754112024322048/photo/1

Thanks. I missed that earlier. But I do wonder if all tickets will be issued with RFID chips from now on or if it is only during this test.

According to allears.net children under 9 do not need to use the finger scan
Johnny
I wonder what stops people slipping through with such a system.
Rob
Does anyone know how long this test was conducted for?

I was told that the finger scan is not fingerprint. It is similar to bone density …..
