QR Codes are now Magical - No really, check this out.

That's right, the Magic Kingdom is adopting the use of QR Codes in daily life.  Now you can use the Disney Photo Pass with a QR Code so that you can get pictures to your mobile phone.  Most guests get their picture taken at least once in the park and are given a Photo Pass to try to retrieve and buy those photos.  Disney doesn't want you leaving without a few keepsakes for your trouble.

So think of the Magic Kingdom as the proving ground and educational epicenter of the QR Code revolution.

For those of you in the math brained group, there are approximately 67.1 million visitors to US based Disney parks.  That is roughly 183,000 people a day exposed to QR Codes and how they are used.  How is that for getting something to catch on in a hurry.

Now somebody tell me again that people won't scan those things.  Go ahead.  I dare you.  QR Codes are here for the time being.  Embrace them or learn the phrase, "Do you want fries with that?".

NOTE:  Those QRs pictured won't scan as the original pic has been resized so many times that the graphic is weak.  It is just there for entertainment purposes only.

Chris:

They have been used for years in Japan.  I think they will be used more frequently here too.
