This is so odd to me. We've taken multiple 3,4,5 and this year my niece was 7 and whoever the parent is always scans their own finger and no one has ever said anything to us about it. I'm just curious, did you ask if they had to scan theirs and then they said yes? I never asked, I just always automatically scanned mine and then scanned hers with my other finger, so I'm wondering if it's an issue of being "too nice," and asking or did you try scanning it and they stopped you? Just seems so odd and honestly I'd be kinda annoyed if they made me take mine out of the stroller or what about when they're sleeping?
are you sure? They can tell where you are with 10 feet at anytime.
Really??? Why would we not? Sometimes kids get tired and sleep in a stroller??? Our world does not revolve around 1 child. We have other kids and generally travel with extended family and are perfectly ok with little ones napping in their stroller when they're tired. We've also had multiple occasions where they're awake at the bus stop, but fall asleep by the time we get there. When's the last time you had little ones with you at Disney? - Are you telling me that you'd decide to turn around and go back in that type of situation? That seems bizarre to me, but I suppose everyone is different. I've seen and myself have had sleeping kids, whether for an early morning or coming back in the afternoon, at the turnstiles. Never thought twice about it. I've also never had a problem wearing and always scanning my own fingerprint at entry, but I've never stopped to ask; I've just always done it and again never thought much about it - the idea I guess now that I think about it came from when my sister had a little one and a CM stopped her st the turnstiles and asked if she'd always be with her, to which she replied yes and the CM is actually the one that told her to do it that way, so it must not be that uncommon, although that particular incident was a few years ago now.
Your ticket as magic bands have an rfid chip in it that’s how some rides know your name and if you have photopass photos end up attached to your account. Also if you have the app they are tracking you through your phone. Just like target knows when I am near their store and pop up my cartwheel card onto my phone screen or AMC knows when I drive by the movie theater. Disney also has an extensive camera system in most areas of the park. That is how they know where you are.
Today,it's needed
The system/algorithm can. There is no way for a CM or anyone to simply look you up and track you.
But you’re worried about a future get scan that is not a true finger print and is not stored but it’s needed for stores to be able to track a cell phone through an app or an amusement park to track through an rfid device in a ticket.
Lol...different lives and priorities I guess. If we ever had a trip where not 1 of the kids in the stroller ever fell asleep; I'd say we were doing it (Disney) wrong. Just different ways of doing things. For us we don't get to spend alot of time throughout the year with the family we go with so while we're at Disney we all generally like to stay together so it would never cross our minds to change our plans or to turn right around and go back because a kid who has a stroller fell asleep on the bus ride over (heck there's a good chance they'd wake back up by the time you got back to the resort). For us we have absolutely no issues with having a kid sleep quietly in the stroller while we enjoy each other's company.
