From the article:
Starting just last week, children under age 10 now are required to have their fingerprint scanned to enter the Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks, and DisneyQuest.

Sorry that was a typo on my part

Oh man...I have a hard enough time remembering that I have to use the same finger every time...this should be interesting with my 8 year old...and slow down the line entering the park I bet!

Gonna create some delays getting little kids to scan their same finger accurately

I assume this is really just kids 3-10 and that those under 3 that don't need a ticket won't need to scan their fingers, correct?

Wonder if we will get new party parades in the near future. But it is WDW where they run 10 to 40 year old parades so they don't have to spend money on a new one.

Except that before Paint The Night - Disney had run MSEP forever as well. And now they are going to be running a 40+ year old parade again.

I'm so jealous of their new parade, especially the voodoo part. That'll probably be epic.

It probably will be but I wonder if the Haunted Mansion segment will be the same or similar to Boo to You. Same ballroom dancers in the picture, very similar float and maybe the same gravediggers too.

Could Rivers of Light be starting in September?

As of Thurs, September 15, 2016, Touring Plans is allowing guests to select Rivers of Light as an option for an Attraction. Could it be they know something we don't know??? I can't find any updates on the Disney site...yet.

I'm not sure those are new, i think that's the same as we've been hearing for months, though i might be wrong.

From what I am hearing some of it or most of it will be duplicates of WDW's version. However I don't know that for sure. I also started a thread for this subject.

They were updated slightly.

I was thinking it looked very similar to BTY and also by the description especially the Haunted Mansion segment.

I thought that the dl one will have at least two new parts, at least going by the article. The princess and the frog shadow man section and nightmare before Christmas.

Dang it. We are going in February and I was going to pick up an AP to use across two trips. Then they raised prices on the APs about 4 months ago, so I assumed there wasn't any point in jumping on an AP. Now this....wondering out loud if I should grab the APs before the jack the prices again.

Same here. I was going to get a Power pass for myself and a preferred pass for my husband for our December trip and didn't think they'd increase before then. Now, I'm thinking I should buy them now. Does anyone know the details for the change passes and prices?
