In Denmark we have a festival called Skanderborg festival, and they build both your ticket and your cashless payment into the festival bracelet.

Disney does that at Disneyland and Disney World in America: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/plan/my-disney-experience/...

You can also use it to unlock you hotel room and to link to those photographs that are taken of you when you're on the rides.

The main difference being that Disney has multiple backup systems, including switching to a completely manual process in case their network or servers are offline.

I watched a presentation on this, and it's actually very interesting how they manage the ride experience so that even during a system outage they can still let people get on the rides.

Which happens so very very rarely. It’s an amazing process.

Is this presentation available online? I'd be very interested in watching it too.

Sorry, I saw Disney's CIO speak at a tech conference, but I don't believe it was recorded.
