New turnstile-free entrance testing at Epcot
A new way of entering the park is being tested in these days at EPCOT. Take a look:

New Entry Configuration Tested at Epcot
When guests arrived at Epcot this morning, some entered the park more easily, thanks to an experimental entry configuration being tested by Industrial Engineering. After scanning their tickets, guests could enter the park without separating from members of their party who had strollers or wheelchairs.
This preliminary test will provide insight into how our guests respond to this kind of entry configuration and whether it could simplify the park entrance process for our guests. The configuration also may give Main Entrance cast members a greater opportunity to interact with each group of guests, greeting and welcoming the entire party to the park. Such testing is a part of our ongoing focus on improving the overall guest experience, and items tested may not end up in the parks.

What do you think about this system? Do you think it would be a better and quicker way to enter the parks?

Ooh, nice. Hope that will be the least line-free way into the Disney World parks going forward (with at least 3 options to make it into the park using this method). When I was last there in October, the crowds were horrific, and the lines were even worse just to get into the park!!
ReplyDeleteThis really should be a line-busting option for those of us who don't have the opportunity to hit the parks at non-peak times during the year, and only can make it during the peak timeframes...

Sounds like a great idea to me and I hope it works out. Easy flow in and less congestion! More hopping right onto Spaceship Earth :)
ReplyDeleteSeems like it would cause less hold ups getting in, although how will they prevent people from getting in when the park is closed?
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea. Our double stroller is a nightmare to get through the existing stroller gates. (Although, my kids think they're on their first ride of the day as I slam the stroller up, down, and sideways to squeeze through.)
