(FoxNews.com) - In an effort to combat ticket fraud, Walt Disney World has quietly implemented a new finger scanning policy at the entrances to its Orlando theme parks.
Now, children between the ages of 3 and 9 should be prepared to have his or her finger scanned electronically before entering the park property.
A spokeswoman for Disney confirmed to FoxNews.com that the new scanning policy was quietly rolled out in late August but the biometric scanning system has been in place for about 10 years.
