<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhy does Disneyland take your picture? It\u2019s a fair question. In the hustle and bustle of getting people into the parks, few cast members explain why they\u2019re snapping a shot of your face with a mobile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, to understand why Disneyland takes your picture, it\u2019s helpful to understand a little about Disneyland tickets. Park passes are offered in a few different varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, there is the standard one- to five-day ticket. This ticket option allows you to enter one park per day for the specified number of days on the pass. For instance, if you purchase a 5-day ticket, as we did on our recent trip to Disneyland<\/a>, you may visit either Disneyland or California Adventure on five separate days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you wish to visit one park in the morning and then \u201chop\u201d to the other in the evening, you can add the park hopper option to your ticket. This extension to the standard ticket allows you to pass back and forth between the parks on the same day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At other times, Disney may offer special ticket options, such as a California resident ticket or a half day ticket. Tickets like these are good only during a specified time or provide admission during certain hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regardless of the type of ticket you purchase, you will find restrictions associated with your purchase. These usually include valid dates of entry, or as noted with the California resident offer, residency in a particular location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All tickets however, are valid only for the person whose name is on the ticket. This is where taking your picture at Disneyland comes into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, Disneyland takes your picture to protect your purchase and prevent unauthorized users from entering the park on your dime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first time you use a new Disneyland park ticket, you will scan the card or electronic pass on your phone with a cast member, who will then snap your photo. Each time you scan your ticket thereafter, your picture will appear on the cast member\u2019s device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Electronically matching your face to your ticket, ensures that only you can use the pass you purchased. That way, if you lose your phone, you get hacked or even if you lose a paper copy of your ticket, no one else can use this information to get into the parks. They simply won\u2019t have the right face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having a photo record on hand also makes it easier to retrieve a ticket if yours becomes lost. Your filed picture is easy proof that you are the owner of the lost ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Disney World<\/a>, a similar system is in place to prevent fraud. However, at the Florida parks, it\u2019s your fingerprint that ties your ticket to your person. Each time you tap your MagicBand<\/a>, plastic ticket key card or MobileMagic<\/a> pass, you\u2019re also required to scan your fingerprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Security measures like these do more than protect your ticket from fraudulent use. They also help to guard against other types of fraudulent transactions. Once upon a time, Disney tickets were sold without expiration dates. People would then pass tickets with unused days onto family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Get a free, no obligation quote for your Disneyland vacation<\/p>\n\n\n Affiliate of Mickey World Travel<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy Does Disneyland Take Your Picture: Answer Revealed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
