I can't believe the "security" that is actually security theater that is going on at Disneyland now.
We just returned last night and it has really devolved into ridiculously stupid.
Why Disney doesn't throw some money at this baffles me. They need to buy more walk through scanners as well as staff it with more screeners. I see that they updated their security chopstick with sticks that have lights on them.
The wait to get into California Adventure through Grand Californian was an hour wait. I am all for 100% screening and 100% go through the scanner. That's fine. The random checks were worthless. We laughed at the fact that my husband could have a gun and ammo in his cargo shorts yet they are checking my little crossbody bag. Now they are unloading strollers because they have to see the bottom of the stroller.
We watched as they made people clear out scooters and wheelchairs. The person could stay in the seat, but everything else had to come out. We witnessed a guy just lose it with the screener--an older lady. It was a shame. This poor woman probably working for minimum wage had to listen to this guy work himself into a tizzy over how stupid this process is. He was completely right. Everything he said was absolutely true, but he was an *** about it. There was even a security guy strolling up and down the area, but he did not go over to divert the situation or help this screener. I imagine these screeners get crap all day and night. People are so agitated and frustrated going through the process.
The backup is ridiculous. It's a horrible way to start your time at the parks. Zero magic.
I truly can't believe how badly Disney is doing this. It's downright stupid. Do they not have people working on this? Any actual security or law enforcement experts? Military? Anyone? They have so much money that would solve this problem.
For the love of churros, I have not seen a screwed up system this bad in a long time.
OK--rant over. But seriously, it was the worst experience.
