Changes on how gust eneter the park

[disney david]

Jut thought you like to know their going ahead and install RFID park entry I know they doing it at mk and might have finished at Epcot so what it is the Mickey head and finger reader where the old ticket machine is. Their no date when they will be finished at all parks I know in Epcot they was roping off a bag check area and having cms transferring ticket to RFID while they finish installing them. I still think with the new system they should install or have a hand held version for guest in wheelchair and strollers it make it quicker for everyone to enter.

Also in Epcot their doing exit testing with a temporary metal structure with three row of camera and every one exit without going through the turn style. I think if they that would make it easier on everyone so guest in ecv and wheelchair and strollers don't have to wait for the gate to be open. Again they are just testing this exit not sure for how long but it could be used in the future in some way.

I saw no sign of any of those things at Epcot yesterday. The turnstiles I saw were the regular old ones and the exit area was the same. I saw the 3 sets of tunestiles that are toward the right side side as you enter. It is possible that they changed one of the sets of turnstiles that was farther to the left that I could not see. There were no directions to let people with older types of tickets (like my familiy's annual passes) know they needed to go to a certain set of turnstiles.

The main bag check area was the same with no changes, although there is a smaller bag check area that is used mostly by people walking up the parking lot sidewalks (on the side where the kennel used to be). I did not go there, so did not see the bag check area there.

The thing I did notice was changed at Epcot were the bus stops at Epcot.
I walked past about 10 bus stops and it looked like they were all changed. There was still a single entry into the bus line, but at the last turn of the line before reaching the door of the bus, there was an open area marked with a wheelchair symbol flag.

THis was compared to our last trip in April & early May 2012 when most of the stops I saw had nothing to indicate what guests with wheelchairs/ECVs should do and had no exit from the bus stop until you reached the front door of the bus.
