What is that thing you . . .

squeeze with your fingers when you use your AP to get into the parks? I'm not sure if I'm phrasing this the correct way but I have always wondered what that is.

I always called it a finger scanner, It reads your finger print so you can't transfer your AP. We use one at the hospital i'm at to get medicine. It's pretty neat

The ones at Disney do not read your finger print. Here is some info from all ears.

That's cool. I didn't think it was fingerprints because I knew that I had never given Disney my fingerprints. I wonder how well it works? On our last trip DH and I arrived at the MK seperately and accidentaly had each others passes and it still worked. I was worried that it would eat my pass or something.

Wow! Thats funny it worked for both of you. Youre lucky. A few times when it didnt work for me the CM at the gate just asked to see id to be sure the pass was mine.

My sister's didn't work once and she had to take her ID to the CM and the whole nine yards. I didn't realize I had the wrong pass until I had gotten through and was putting it away. Then I felt kind of guilty but didn't want to tell on myself and maybe get kicked out and I didn't know where DH was at the time. I'm glad I know what that thing is now - I've always wondered.
