Disney World May Add New Entry Gates With Facial Recognition
Listen to the story
Disney World may build new gates at its parks.
Disney World is in Florida, in the United States. It has four big theme parks.
The company has sent new permits to the city. Permits are papers that ask for permission to build something.
The new papers talk about changes to the park entrance. The entrance is the place where people walk in.
The papers also talk about new signs. These signs will be in the parking area.
Disney might use facial recognition at the new gates. This is special technology. It can know who you are by looking at your face.
Right now, people use a tap point to enter the parks. A tap point reads a ticket or a band.
Facial recognition could replace the tap points one day.
Disney has not said this change is final yet.
We do not know when the new gates will open.
