Is Your Fingerprint Required To Enter The Disney Parks?

March 10th, 2020 5:18 PM

With the concerns of coronavirus, it’s a question many are asking.  When you enter one of the Disney parks in Orlando, you tap your magic band and verify that you’re you with your fingerprint.  But with the concerns of spreading COVID-19, you may be wondering… can you opt out of it?

Yes!  You actually can.  Inside The Magic did the research and found in Disney documentation that you can bypass the fingerprint service if you show your ID.  The name on your ID obviously must match the one assigned to your ticket. Even after coronavirus is no longer in the headlines, this might be welcome news to those germophobes out there like me! You can even fill out a form when you get to Disney at the beginning of your trip and make a note on your account that you won’t want to use the “Ticket Tag” service.

• The Rise of the Resistance ride has chapters like in a book. It’s unlike any ride you’ve ever been on.

  Share

  .
• Baby Chewy!

  Share

  .

• Only thing better than a Rice Krispy treat… a Darth Vader Rice Krispy treat.

  Share

  .

• You feel like you’re on the movie set.

  Share

  Share

• Forever in my top 5 ride list… the Aerosmith Rockin’ Rollercoaster at Hollywood Studios!

  Share

  .
• My friend Rachel got me to go on the Toy Story coaster “Slinky Dog Dash”… it looked like a kids ride so I was skeptical, but it was really fun. The sound effects along the way are awesome.

  .

• Had 2 incredible meals at Homecomin’ Kitchen at Disney Springs. This burger and the fried chicken sandwich I had were good. But be sure to get the chips with extra topping, the cole slaw and sweet tea. Just excellent.

  Share

  .

• We timed our ride PERFECTLY aboard the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! Every time we turned a corner the fireworks went off above us!

  Share

  .
• Surrounded by Figment

  Share

  .

• Avatar Flight of Passage is my new favorite. It’s stunning… it is an emotional experience – so beautiful. You just want to live there for hours.

  Share

  .
• I’m a huge Muppets fan. Always have to see the 3D movie. Statler and Waldorf are my favorites.

  Share

  .

• Star Wars Rise of the Resistance lives up to the hype. You are taken hostage on a ship with life size sets complete with Storm Troopers!

  Share

  .

• We also got a preview of the first ever Mickey and Minnie ride opening in March. My tip: if you go, stand in the middle near the front when you watch the movie!

  Share

  .
• So peaceful!

  Share

  .

• Producer Coop and I got to check out a new Cirque Du Soleil production. Its the first time Disney and Cirque have collaborated.

  Share

  .

• Epcot sunsets…

  Share

  .
• Producer Coop and I designed this eyesore at #Epcot Test Track Monday. We went for as undesirable as possible. I think our concept is a masterpiece. We also decided to use Chinese for our text which in retrospect might have been a poor choice but I assume the loose translation is “hideous.”

  .

• Test Track at Epcot has some BEAUTIFUL cars to check out

  Share

  .

• Walk like an Egyptian.

  Share

  .
• “Soarin’ Around the World” is another favorite ride – I loved the California version of the ride but the trip around the world was cool – especially climbing the Eiffel Tower!

  Share

  .

• I went to Disney so many times without ever going to Epcot. Now its my favorite.

  Share

  .

• Do you see the Hidden Mickey?

  Share

  .
• Just some of the decor at Topolino’s Terrace at Riviera Resort

  Share

  .
• Winter Florida style.

  Share

  .

• We got to stay at the Grand Floridian just before they took the Christmas decor down. This tree was incredible.
