AP Finger Scans

[DisneyFan0304]

Hi, Everyone --

I have a question about using the finger scans when you have APs. My mother and I are thinking of going to WDW in December and I was thinking of getting APs, but Im afraid my mother might have trouble with the finger scan. Mom will be 83 when we go and has some trembling in her hands. I'm afraid the trembling might make it hard for the machine to get a read on her fingers. If that happened, she'd get nervous, which would probably make the shaking worse and if she had to try the scan numerous times, she'd get upset.

Do you think this might be a problem? I'm thinking it might be easier on Mom to just get passes and use them. If I get the passes through AAA there's not that much difference in the price between a 4 day and a 5 day pass and an AP.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I don't think it will be a problem at all. I've seen people of all ages and abilities use the finger scan, and I've very seldom seen someone who "can't do it."

It's such an easy procedure. And no one is going to bar your mom from entry if her finger scan doesn't work. The worst that would happen is that they might ask for ID.

No worries!

haha. Im one of the ones who "cant do it". I must've really messed up for the first scan.. so I had trouble every other time. I'd just make sure she does it as steady as she can the first time.

Good luck

My Mom (69) has problems more times than not. They usually let her through by pushing a button.

Disney will always let you bypass the finger scan entirely by showing a photo ID to the gate CM. That may be the best course of action in your case.
