I just watched a video yesterday about Disney animatronics (shoutout to Defunctland.) Apparently one of the things they thought of doing included having RFID tags that remembered people’s names, what rides they went on, and other information that the animatronics could know about and respond to. I thought it was creepy as fuck, a reminder of technology’s stalking abilities and how it can be used on children. Thankfully, that particular idea was scrapped… but the fact they thought about it at all raises worries.
Wait really? I was there in like 2019 or something and I don’t remember them finger printing, which granted it’s been 7 years so things have definitely changed. That’s fucking wild tho

Yeah that seems quaint compared to whatever their smartphone probably does in the background outside of the park.
at Disney World they take your fingerprint at the ticket gate now. they don’t say why: it’s just a thing they do.
