My language was imprecise, but in the context of the message to which I was responding (someone perhaps bought bogus FPs online) I was referring to the "regular" FPs, not guest recovery FPs, although I can see how someone might be equally miffed by being denied entry with one of these (despite the clearly stated exceptions). No amount of miffery, however, justifies fisticuffs against a CM.
Up to 7 years. He'll probably do 6 months.
Well, most are fingerprint, but you could still get a paper one from a CM.
True you can get a paper FP from CM our last visit a ride was down and we got a paper FP
"Guest Recovery," not regular FP+.
Nothing is fingerprint
could you imagine how long the FP+ lines would take if it required biometric validation like main gate? People can't even figure out how to scan their bands.
They don't know. But if they are caught violating the ban, they can be criminally charged with trespassing.
This. And we do it in the hotel business as well. The ban enables the property owner to have the charge of criminal trespass laid which has legal penalties and a criminal record attach. In some cases we can know they are trying because we keep lists of banned persons including things like addresses and descriptions and sometimes pictures if the jurisdiction allows.
Facial recognition is getting better.
Yes. iPhones are coming out with facial recognition for unlocking them.
While casinos invest in cameras with facial recognition to keep banned "cheaters" out, I doubt it is worth the investment for Disney.
I would be interested in knowing just how much effort Disney does or does not put into keeping people out who have been banned. With the sheer number of people who go through the parks each day, I would think it would be exceedingly difficult. I wonder if they actually make an effort to keep them out or if they just let them be unless they cause more trouble.
Going back a few years before magic band my card would not let me go into the parks, a cast member came along and said the easiest way to sort it without having to go to Guest services would be to take my photo on their hand held device they had and it would work on face recognition rather than your finger print, and it worked straight away, so l suppose they can also block people from entering the same way,
And they do. But a 1:1 match with a known face and name is a LOT easier than a 1:N match when you're talking millions per year. Given the day-to-day state of Disney IT, I'll bet that if they use FR, they farm it out to a third party.
