This past weekend when I was at the Disneyland Resort with my tripod, when I was walking through the security check area, a CM security told me that I couldn't bring in my tripod in the park and have to take it back to my car, hotel, etc. I was surprised at first that a CM security told me that. I have been told by other CM's at both the DLR and WDW about the size of my tripod which is a MeFoto Roadtrip and I was able to bring it in with no problem. This is the first time that happened.
I was able to bring in my tripod one day before on Friday 6/3 but couldn't on Saturday 6/4. I thought he didn't know what tripod was legal to bring in. I know that as long as a tripod fits in a standard bag you can bring it in the park.
When I wrote to the DLR customer service about the tripod issue, I got a call back today from them and they told me that tripods are not allowed except for ones that are one foot or less and that it fits inside a standard backpack. That is what is says on the website where you can bring a tripod in as long as it fits inside a standard backpack. Here is the other thing, the CM on the phone told me that you can bring a tripod that fits inside a standard bag but the legs cannot be extended when in use. That doesn't make any sense for guests to bring a tripod in the park without extending the legs. I double checked with him about that and he told me the exact same thing.
He says that it was updated on the website but it is still the same thing on the website which says "Folding tripod stands or monopod stands that can fit inside a standard backpack are permitted." The large tripods are still not allowed in the park as usual.
Has anyone been to the DLR lately and have this kind of problem? Or is it at both DLR and WDW.
