park tickets

[Magical Dreams]

If you don't fancy paying for the no expiry, get the 7 day pass, its only a couple of quid more expensive than the 5 day pass!

Well worth it!
You never know when you may wanna go the extra time!

You cannot do this anymore as the tickets require a biometric scan on entry to the parks.

Liz is right what she has said, i think you may find that you wont have time to use the 5 day if your planning on going to other parks like universal and seaworld, and lets face it with a place like Orlando once you have been once your bound to go back again, get the non-expiry one and play safe even if you dont use it depending on how many you get you could always auction them off on a well know internet site, have good time whatever you decide, Dave.

You have to insert two of your fingers into a scanner, this makes the ticket unique to you.

It's a scanner that takes a scan of your palm print. Disney introduced them last year I think for the annual passes and longer multi-day tickets and have now rolled them out to all multi-day tickets.

What happens is that when you first use your ticket you put your hand onto a scanner thing and it scans your palm-print. It doesn't store the whole print itself but instead converts it into what's called biometric details, literally a set of measurements about you. Next time you use the ticket you have to scan your palm again until the Disney compters are happy that it's the same palm-print using the same ticket. So it prevents lots of different people using the same multi-day ticket, or selling tickets that still have one or two days left on them.

Are you sure it's a palm print as I've only ever been asked to insert my first two fingers?

Its definitely the bone denisty between your two fingers, your palm doesnt go into the machine. If nothing is happening they will ask you to squeeze your two fingers together.

We have some of the "old" 7 Day Hopper tickets that haven't been used for even one day yet. Does anyone know if they will be "assigned" to one individual with the scan on their first use even though they are the old style?

They can do, but I have no confirmation that they are doing so.
