Disney introduces RFID technology to is hotel rooms
The keys to the kingdom at Disney World are changing.
The opening of the first phase of Disney’s Art of Animation Resort on May 31 unveiled a new feature to the hotel rooms, “radio-frequency identification” keys. Normally hotel guests insert card keys into slots to open doors. But the new system allows people to place the card near a reader to unlock the door.

According to an article in the Orlando Sentinel, Disney expects to retrofit all of 26,000 hotel rooms on property by the end of the next year. Work should soon begin at Disney’s Contemporary Resort starting this month.
According to the article, the new key system also is convenient because the cards can be reprogrammed by remote control so if there is a problem or you need to change rooms, there is no reason to walk back to the front desk.
