Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park now let visitors enter through lanes equipped with face recognition technology after The Walt Disney Company announced the system on 2026-05-04. [1]
Disney said the use of face recognition is optional. Visitors who choose lanes without face recognition may still have their image taken, the company said. [1]
The system converts images of visitors’ faces into numerical values that can be matched against other images. Disney said it will delete the numerical face data after 30 days, except when it must keep it for legal or fraud-prevention reasons. [1]
The parks are already using the technology for entry, and Disney has not said it will expand the program beyond the two Anaheim parks. [1]
