he technology could provide an alternative to “rather invasive methods” for acquiring guest information, such as retinal and fingerprint identification, according to the patent filing. “These methods are obtrusive and some guests may not feel comfortable providing this type of biometric information to a third party,” it added, noting that accessories such as hats and sunglasses could also limit the effectiveness of the technologies.
The technology could be used at amusement parks, theme parks, sporting events and other entertainment venues, according to Disney.
The entertainment company has no immediate plans to use the system, according to the Orlando Sentinel, which notes that the foot recognition technology is part of the firm’s ongoing research process.
Disney World’s Magic Kingdom was the world’s top amusement park in 2015 with 20.5 million visitors, according to a report released earlier this year by engineering firm AECOM and the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA).

Footpads beware.
MUCH easier simply to keep the Muzzies out.
They won’t need this at Tokyo Disneyland.
Disney is evil.
Foot recognition? Oh yeah! Sign me up!
They should work on an alligator detector first.
On the rides they could use butt recognition technology.
Who in their right mind would take the family to Disney World or Disneyland? It’s rather sad for the parents to drop their hard earned money down a rat hole. When, if they would only do their homework, they could go on fun and educational weekend trips right in close proxemics to their own town
This is more like Ray Bradbury kind of stuff.
How do you use foot recognition technology, if people are wearing shoes???? Will you have to take off shoes to enter Disney??? What the heck???
I heard Prince Charming tried it out on Snow White.
Agreed. Tokyo Disneyland and Disney Sea are pretty awesome and always safe (except when some of the quirky and backwards Chinese tourists go barging through all lines and crowds like they don’t exist). But it appears this is a technology to help track guests at the park during a day trip by using the appearance of the shoes and feet as the metric to match to a Disney hotel guest, for example.
Excellent!
