All Walt Disney World theme parks will now be scanning the finger-prints of all children aged three to nine.
They implemented this practice for adult-aged patrons years ago.
However ridiculous it may seem, the reason behind the finger-printing concept is pretty reasonable.
Disney calls the process "Ticket Tag Service" and it has been introduced to prevent the use of stolen and shared tickets.
According to kidspot.au, before these new finger-print rules "it had been easy to transfer tickets amongst children as they had no fingerprints attached to them."
Disney has assured parents that the finger scanning system is safe, saying they give each unique finger-print a numerical value and no print is stored.
They have also said that if they are still uncomfortable, they will allow parents to use their own fingerprint instead.
