I've been bored and have reading some accounts of people being banned for life from disney parks. How do they ensure you just dont buy a day ticket and show back up?

If you're banned for life, how does Disney keep track and enforce the ban?

They have your fingerprint remember.
My guess is if they catch you they can have you arrested for trespassing. Do that enoughbthen you physically wont be able to.

Fingerprint is tied to any person that uses any type of ticket to enter. A physical hard card ticket, magic band, etc. So that's the easiest to do is not accept the fingerprint and they also keep I believe a copy of the persons picture and license/ID on file.

So it really is possible for someone to be ban on the happiest place on Earth, I got curious so I made a couple of research on the internet and have seen this article.

Yeah, I heard about that. Seems a bit silly to ban someone five years after the fact. The OP was asking specificly about Disney though. And as far as I know, he's still welcome back at Disney.

If you are referring to the Scanners at the front gates you are mistaken. The readers do not take your fingerprint. instead they use a combination of the shape of your finger and the blood vessels within as a work around to a law that prevents actual finger prints from being used. This is why people who push too hard (the old or really young for example) on the readers get kicked back.They have your fingerprint remember.

Yep had heard that before but wasn't sure if it was true or not. Guess it is then. Thank you for clarifying.

This. They don't use fingerprint/biometric scan, because people can just buy a new ticket then use a different finger. And the ban is for all Disney property and there are no biometric scanners at DS/Boardwalk.
They take a close up picture of your face without your glasses on and enter that into the system. If you are caught, you will be arrested for tresspassing.

What? It's just a generic print reader, not an x-ray machine. The reader captures points of the fingerprint and some software query calculates a hash from it and stores that hash in a record linked to your ticket/MDE account. There's no law that prevents finger print hashes from being captured and stored.
Correct, it is a biometric scan of your finger, not a fingerprint.

The print reader takes an actual picture of the print, then the picture is passed to software that maps the print checking some number of pixels in the print to determine if the fingerprint is touching the reader (binary 1), or not touching the reader (binary 0). A hash is built based on that formula and stored, and then picture of the print is discarded.
