Biometrics?

[MrsPete]

This will be an odd question -- you're forewarned!

I'm considering buying my family 10-day hopper passes with no expiration and the Plusses because they're an investment in future years. We would use one day this summer (have some days leftover on previous ticks and would use up the older tickets first), and the others would be used over the course of the next five years.

Here's the question: I see that when the tickets are first used, Disney will 'encode" biometric information on each card so that they cannot be sold or given away to other people. I'm not familiar with the term biometric. My daughters are 8 and 11. Will their biometric information change so that Disney would think that they were trying to use someone else's ticket?

I'm looking at spending 1500 on tickets, which I don't mind doing as long as they're going to be useful in the future!

your eight year old would have a child's ticket which means no finger scan. I'm not sure how they would convert her ticket once she's over the age of nine.

Your 11 year old would have a scan. But everyone's names are now on the tickets so even if it's five years until you use them again and she grow's, it is my understanding that they can reset her scan.

I am pretty sure if she uses her ticket at least once before she turns 10 - you don't have to do anything to upgrade her- she can use the same childs ticket (with no finger scan) even after she turns 10.

I didn't realize your names are on the new tickets.

I originally thought they were tied to names now like the AP's....

but now I see on other posts they only have you sign them.....

Does anyone know if they enter your name when you get new MYW passes at the gate?
