At Epcot now/what's with all the security?

[kldownunder]

We are at Epcot now (Thursday March 6). There are marked security officers everywhere. They are clearly marked as security. Plus they all have on yellow raincoats....can't miss them. They are in groups of five or six. They are definitely looking around. No smiling.

Any idea what's going on?

I'm not there and don't know for certain but it is possible that it has to do with the potential bad weather and the fact that several areas are under a tornado watch. Perhaps Disney puts extra security/staff in the park in case they need to evacuate quickly due to the weather or a tornado.

I don't know why they have extra security, but it could be because of the potential for tornadoes today.

That's all I've got for ideas.

Could be in case the Dads get into a slap-fight over Anna and what's-her-name.

Probably there to keep guests from beating up CM's at guest relations over MDE issues.

It's the weather and the flower and garden festival I'm sure. We were there this morning but didn't notice anything out of the norm.

That would be my guess too.

 

[metzgardesign]

Yep....like that.....Only with more baseball caps, backpacks and bermuda shorts.

When i was manager of Security for a Theme Park in Southern Indiana, we would typically make sure we had a few more security in place if there was bad weather happening.
