A round sign announces "Facial Recognition Test" above an icon of a masked face, with "Entrance" below—evoking the cutting-edge entry technology you’d expect at Disney’s Magic Kingdom.

If you’ve visited Walt Disney World recently, you may have seen facial recognition testing taking place at Magic Kingdom for park entry. This optional testing was to take place between March 23 and April 23. Disney asked that if guests would like, they could help test out this new form of technology at the park entrance. It looks like now this testing will continue on past April 23.

A prominent "Facial Recognition Test ENTRANCE" sign welcomes guests to a public venue’s outdoor entry, where next-level technology is on display beneath a clear blue sky—evoking the innovative experiences you’d expect at top destinations like Magic Kingdom.

As updated on the Walt Disney World website, the April 23 ending date has been removed. We aren’t sure if/when Disney will stop facial recognition testing. Our thoughts are the system must be working well if they have yet to pull it.

Magic Kingdom entrance scanners greet guests as they arrive, while visitors stroll through under the Florida sunshine, experiencing the latest facial recognition technology in action at the park.

We personally experienced the Facial Recognition Testing and found the experience to be extremely simply and an easy way to enter the park. On the other hand, we have heard from some Disney fans that they want nothing to do with it. It is currently an optional way to enter the park.
