We just returned from WDW on Wednesday, and I must say that the ticket tag thing is kind of annoying. I consider myself technologically savvy, but the system often didn't work well for me. All it says is stick your figures in, each on one side of the dot, and then enter. The trouble is that it doesn't say if you need to press down, push forward, or anything. After at least 20 park entries on our last trip, I can honesetly say that I still don't know the correct way of putting your fingers in, although it never denied me. If anything, it seems to slow down entry for the average person by about 6 or 8 seconds. To me, 5-10 seconds seems like an eternity when you know that there are twenty people behind you trying to get in.
The nice thing, though, was that for about 75% of the time (probably about 10 entries), they had disabled ticket tag at the MK turnstyles, so all you had to do was insert your ticket and walk through. Lines moved much faster and everyone seemed much happier to be able to keep moving forward.
We only had one gate (which was at MGM) deny any of our tickets, and that gate had clearly been having problems with everyone walking through. The Hong Kong Disneyland trainee was annoyed, but very efficient and helpful at getting things overridden and guests through the gates as quickly as possible.
