Can you use a photo ID in lieu of a finger scan?

Totally random question and apologize if this has been discussed previously but I find the finger scan to be completely unsanitary and germ spreading, especially with the reported recent addition of children under 10 to the system - can I refuse the finger scan on those grounds and instead provide a photo identification?

disregard I found the answer in the official privacy policy - answer is yes you can do this

Guests touch lots of surfaces in WDW. Frequent hand washing is probably a good idea regardless of whether you opt out of the finger scan.

My wife and I always have a small puddle of germ-X in our palm as we go through the entrance.

Trust me if the finger scan is scary the rest of the park is a germ horror show.


Of Course you do realize that Immune systems are built based on exposure. building a bubble only ensures that when the germ gets through you will be affected

My kids have licked more handrails in Disney than I'd like to think about.

If you're planning to touch ride vehicles, door handles, bathroom stall locks, chairs at restaurants, etc., then I wouldn't worry too much about the finger scan. I take hand sanitizer everywhere and use liberally, especially before eating.

points well taken I try to minimize my touching of surfaces both at wdw and home - might be ocd haha

Isn't this easily solved by scanning and then sanitizing your hands?

 

[loves to dive]

Heck I live dangerously and scan and just keep going, I wash my hands after the bathroom and before I eat and that's it. I would most likely end up with some sort of skin condition from using the sanitizer or constant washing if I washed them every time I touched something.

The finger scan is the least of your worries.

Yea, we just use hand sanitizer a lot. The finger scan is just the beginning. My fav is the people who open sneeze and cough - so disgusting! Be sure to clean your phone as well, from one germaphobe to another

Word. We've had passes for 2 years now (my youngest was 6 months) and they have been crazy healthy.... even with dozens of trips to Disney in their little lives!

This is the funniest thing I've read in a while.

A body anybody's body (see what I did there?) needs germs to survive. If you knew what were in your eyelids and what the "sleepers" were, it would just drive you crazy.

It's one finger. Unless you are going to scan it then immediately stick it in your mouth every time you enter a park I think you're probably safe.

4 year old grand daughter did not do finger scan last week

This made my day to quote Homer Simpson " it's funny cuz it's true."

This is just a PSA from one germaphobe to another: most hand sanitizers do not kill stomach viruses. Soap and water are the best defense against illness.

 

[CounselorX]

I don't like the germs on my fingers either. I just lick them off after I pass through

 

[mikedoyleblogger]

You're more likely to get a cold the way I just did, by your seat mate on Everest coughing his lungs up throughout the ride, than you are from the finger scan. Every Disney park everywhere has germ-covered little hands touching anything and everything all day long. Avoiding the finger scan will solve NONE of your germ problems. Bring hand sanitizer.
