First Trip; Magic Bands, Fingerprinting, Confused?

[Disneygrandmareno]

This is our first trip to Disney World. We are from the west coast and our annual trips are always to Disneyland. I have the 2 park Disneyland and Disney World Premier Passport. In Disneyland I just go up to the turnstile and hand them my passport. How does this work in Disney World? Help and thanks

Hold your MagicBand (or, if you don't have a MB, hold your Ticket)
against the "Mickey head" reader and touch your finger to the finger-scanner.
When the Mickey head's green light comes on, enter the park.

BTW, the finger-scanner does not record your "fingerprint."
It just scans some of the shapes of the print and converts that scan to a coded number.
That number is stored in your computer file and is checked every time you enter a new park.

BTW some people's fingers seem to scan better than others - I always had issues w/ the old system and am dreading seeing blue Mickeys w/ the MBs.
