Disney has [announced](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/28/disneyland-entrance-facial-recognition) plans to roll out optional facial recognition software in their world-famous California theme park.

Disney theme parks are collectively the most visited in the world, with over 173 million visitors in [2024](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disneyland).

The company says the technology will help prevent fraud and streamline re-entry. For example, it could be used to crack down on sharing of annual passes. They say that it will be optional and visitors can chose lanes not equipped with the technology.

Disney previously trialed the technology at their more popular Magic Kingdom theme park in Florida in 2024.
