Disney World Theme Parks Debut Artificial Intelligence Security Screening Process

What started as a test of a new bag check experience at Disney Springs will now expand to all four Walt Disney World theme parks. In what is a long overdue move, Disney will be moving away from a hands-on approach to bag check screening and moving into the 21st century with Artificial Intelligence screening that will greatly improve the bag check process. As a reminder, the old bag check process would rely on a security Cast Member to search your bag by hand before sending you through a metal detector to check your person. Of course, the level of thoroughness in the bag check varied from security Cast Member to security Cast Member, and introduced the element of human error. As you might imagine, we've been through security hundreds, if not thousands of times over the years, and just like everyone else, we've seen different levels of detail in the bag check searches. After a manual bag check search, security would randomly ask guests to walk through a metal detector, meaning not everyone had to pass through.
