Fair enough! By “years ago” I was thinking at least 5-10 years ago.

Disney Springs testing new no-stop security scanner for new entry screening when the parks reopen
- Thread starter wdwmagic

Yes I don't thing its a good thing to be photographing the security checkpoints, which is why we only reported the change and did not publish photos of the process. Anyway, I think we can all imagine what a scanner in the Lime garage looks like based on the manufacturer's demo video.

If it cuts down on entrance security checks, I’m good. Park entrance and Splash Mountain shouldn’t have the same wait time (I know. ..being dramatic).
Normally, I would agree that they should have followed the rules and not recorded it.
OTOH, Disney should have followed their own rules, which is the rules of the state, too, to keep up social distancing. Recording their misbehavior is important to holding them accountable.
And the experience itself too will be improved. Even if it is a shuffle in, it is better than being randomly selected from your party/family to go and walk through a detector. Even when people are kind, the experience can be improved and I think this could help.
That's a good call. I saw other blogs say that photos weren't allowed, which makes a ton of sense and I'm glad to see that you and that blog are honorable sources to follow!

Photos aren’t allowed? Is that posted somewhere? Not that I’ve ever wanted to, just curious.
Also... I’m not sure if it’s the same technology or not but the bright line train stations in Florida have some sort of sensors like this that you just walk through. I don’t know what all they detect, but when they opened up a few years ago that was something they bragged about.

I'm no expert but I've run teams that have commissioned a lot of hardware and tech over the years and I'm quite sure rolling this kind of new equipment will take some time. There's whatever the lead time on orders are, installation, training, testing and implementation to get through. In other words, no chance these are going to be at the parks before they reopen in a few weeks time.
(Unless of course they were actually ordered a long time ago and the timing is purely coincidental. If that's the case it may be possible to fasttrack implementation, I guess)

Actually, California does have some laws regarding this, which why Disney didn't use to take pictures of minors (not sure if they do now or not).Yes.
In general. If you or your child are in public such that anyone can see, then any one can record that. There is no privacy when you act in public. Consequently, if you're on someone's private property (e.g., Disney's), then they can take anyone's picture. You also agreed to that in the small print on your ticket.
There may be some restriction for what can be done with the picture of a minor when 'publishing' it. The press has unrestricted freedom (but they may have their own policies so as not to upset people).
Many people think that there's a legal prohibition because so many school districts have policies of not publishing pictures of students with their names attached. Some children are being hidden from an abusive relative or someone who lost custody and is willing to kidnap their child in order to have custody.
Child Photography or Videotaping Consent Laws
When it's legally acceptable to publish photos or videos of a child.
You would be surprised how many places have been able to speed things like this up as result of this mess, presumably because the companies making them can hire more people as more are out of work.

It isn't posted, but photography in the security areas is a problem. If you are seen taking pictures around any of the bag check areas, expect to be asked to delete the photos.

Is there any word on amount of employees that could possibly lose their job because of this? I’m not trying to nitpick, really not, and I’m sure 99.9% of the people entering WDW will love this if all goes well. I just hate seeing people lose their jobs. I know I’m in the minority here but I’m the guy who doesn’t use self check out at grocery stores also. If all employees are safe then put them in!

Good quality coffee? I thought you said you reserve one at Starbucks?
“Starbucks Reserve” is very good quality coffee. It’s brewed to order at select stores only. Downtown Disney California & Disney Springs are 2 of those select stores
Interesting. Not something I plan on doing but seems surprising seeing as it’s legal to film and photograph TSA. And yes I’m aware Disney is private property.
Well, self check outs increase business and the businesses find they have to higher more people to stock shelves than cashiers they loose, so they actually increase jobs, not decrease them. I would think this may have a similar effect in the long run, just change what jobs they are doing.

I’m sure they can be of use in other areas, especially in this mask phase.
