Some of the items many people complain about concern finger scans and also lost tickets. I have a modest proposal which will lay both of these, and other related problems, to rest forever.
Disney will need to revamp all the turnstiles to include RFID readers. All Guests will get an RFID chip implanted in a specific location to be determined, probably at or near the left shoulder would work best. At the time this is done demographic data, to include Name, Address, Birth Date and Telephone number would be recorded. If a debit or credit card is being used that information would also be recorded.
The actual serial number of the chip would be recorded, but for general use each person would be given a fifteen digit number to save. This number would actually be easy to remember as it would consist of four parts. The first three digits would be the Country Code (001 for US/Canada), the next ten is the persons (familys) primary telephone number, 14 would be an individual identifier, starting with 1" for the primary user, and the last would be a computed check digit. This number would remain with the person as long as the chip remains implanted, probably for the rest of their life.
Simplest would be people on a package. The RFID Chip would replace the KTTW. It would be used for Park Entry. There would be a reader at the room door to allow them into the room. If a Dining Plan were involved it would be used for that. And of course it would be used for room charges, utilizing the same restrictions currently in use. Next would be others staying in on-property lodging, whether or not is it Disney owned and operated. Initially there might be difficulty involving Day Guests, but these can be worked out.
This would be Park admission tickets. It would also include Special Event tickets such as the hard ticket parties. For EMH it would be simple to scan to see that the people were eligible. And there would be scanners at the Parking Toll Plazas to tell if a person was authorized to park without paying a fee.
Upgrades, Annual Passes, Water Parks, and additional visits would all be tied to these chips. For example, when a person returns for a subsequent visit all that would need to be done is tie the current ticket to the imbedded chip.
This would eliminate all the problems, such as finger scans or reselling of partially used tickets or even misplacing of tickets.
Obviously, many of the details would have to be worked out. How do you handle such things as Youth Groups where the Chaperones want to control the tickets? How do you handle FastPasses? How do you handle one-day only visitors who may never return. But those are just details to be worked on.

Can I get my GAC on it also so I don't have to carry around the card? And my cc/room charge information so I just put my shoulder out to buy things? And of course the
