Disney4me Posted 15 hours ago Report Posted 15 hours ago There are some wild Disney rumors swirling around on the internet right now, and we’re here to set the record straight! Magic Kingdom at Disney World We’re deep into the Disney side of the internet, so we see some truly out-there stories about the Disney parks, the Disney company, and everything in between. And when those rumors get spread? Everyone is misinformed and confused! So that’s why we’re here to set the record straight on some Disney rumors that are spreading across the internet this week. Facial Recognition Entrances in Disney World? Kicking off our list this week, there has been a rumor that Disney World will soon implement facial recognition technology and automatic gates at park entrances, much like Disneyland Resort. Disneyland introduced entrances with facial recognition technology in 2025 and more recently expanded the offering. Disneyland signage We’ve seen similar technology used at Universal Orlando, so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that it could come to Disney World in the future. When it was implemented in Disneyland, the goal was to decrease the amount of ticket scamming and to speed up the process of park entry. Disney World hasn’t made any announcements about it coming to the parks, but we’ll keep this on the radar just in case. See the New Rules Disneyland Is Enforcing Disney PhotoPass Using AI? Are PhotoPass photographers in Disney parks about to start using AI on your pictures? Well, this one comes into the realm of possibly. The rumor currently is Disney filed for a patent for technology that would remove unwanted people from the background of pictures using AI, and that much is TRUE. PhotoPass Studio Disney filed the patent on October 6th and the models in the patent show a computer-implemented method removing “obstructions” from the background by splitting the photo into segments. Now, Disney hasn’t officially announced where or how this technology would be implemented, but the patent DOES describe a scenario for use in a theme park, since many photo spots include large crowds in the background of pictures. The patent notes that current methods of editing crowds out of photos are time-consuming, and that this technology could speed up the process on the back end.
