And the elevator area cordoned off during that process. We watched CMs block off an area of outdoor seating for a CS restaurant until security arrived with a dog to investigate a backpack that had been left under a table.
Mum is right on.
Leaving a suit case by an elevator bank at a disney hotel is not a good idea.
Although we hate to think about it if secuity were to be notified they would handle it as a possible threat.
Anyone in this day and age who picked up an abandoned suitcase near an elevator shaft with a note that says take me is foolish.
I dare say Security was called immediately within minutes, since it was most likely seen on a camera.....near an elevator in a corridor. They have extensive cameras in public areas.
You may be very lucky they did not see you abandon it; you could have been detained.
Could be an interesting way to find out if Disney security has Mickey Mouse handcuffs, does the castle have a dungeon & stuff you with Mickey wattles while listening to "Its a small world" until you crack. Just to give Eyesore something laugh about.
Hahahaha I highly doubt that. It's not the aiport. Disney isn't exactly looking to detain paying resort guests looking to get rid of a suitcase. Not saying the OP made a sound choice, but this comment is way over the top imho.
Lets not get too dramatic here.
But how is Disney security to know if a person who abandons a suitcaes is a guest who has good intents or a person looking to do harm.
It is foolish to think that those who hate us would not choose to target disney.
If a security person saw anyone intentioanly leaving a suit case and walking away it is their job to check it out.
Security is trainied to look for things out of the norm. Placing a suit case by an elevator and walking away is an unusual activity.
Again I understad that the op had good intents and did not do anything wrong and in the everything worked out.
