Disneyland photographing all guests

Interesting and I think once they work out the kinks easiest way to stop all the fraud. link

This would be great if they would bring back the parkhopper with more days on it. When I am in Anaheim I usually will go to DL/DCA more than the 5 days they currently have passes for.

This is really going to piss off families with teens and larger groups. Having to keep track of which kid/person has which physical pass over multiple days will be a pain.

Easy just write their names on the ticket. That was what they were having them do before.

Not all guests, just multi-day ticket holders. But still, really?? Why bother with all of this for a handfull of multi-day tickets? I think it casts Disney in a bad light. They sell more tickets to those who could not afford to go otherwise, IMHO. I would never chance such a riskey buisness venture myself. I'd be worried that I'd spend all of that money, get my family to the gates, and have a big dissapointment.

And to an extent that may be all that Disney needs. It need not be a consistent or sustained effort. But if Disney can get the word out that there is a real non-zero chance that you show up and get embarrassed (and don't get in) then many people won't risk it.

The publicity is probably more powerful to stop it than the policy.

Why does it cast Disney in a bad light when all they are doing is preventing people from committing fraud against them?

The article makes it seem like this is a recent implementation. I know there have been signs in front of DL and DCA for a few months directing multi-day pass holders to enter through specific gates. It sounds like they have been experimenting with this for a while.

They were just having people sign the tickets (and they used to do that years ago). You had to sign your ticket then show ID every time you entered after that. I think the problem was kids don't have ID so still easy to get around. Honest I think once they get the kinks worked out it really won't jack things up much. Half the time you're behind someone who has bad tickets and has to wait for a lead anyway.
