Extra Security

[Skywise]

Has someone trained a dog to detect slot machines that are about to pay off?

Works both ways... Casinos would probably use it to take machines out of service.

Rumor has it that they may be getting metal detectors soon too. (http://thrillgeek.com/2015/12/rumor-walt-disney-world-and-disneyland-about-to-get-metal-detectors/)

They got them at DLP.

So according to the link above this is happening this Friday? That should be interesting with the holiday crowds.

If they do install metal detectors, what a cluster that is going to turn into. Bag checks are bad enough.

I think it's going to be a change that takes some getting use to. Dec 17 is the Star Wars event at DHS. Then the 18th is opening day of the movies. Wonder if the date mentioned has anything to do with the that?

Rumor has it that WDW may have security personnel with metal detector wands as well.

It's really not too surprising.

Somebody dressed like the fairy godmother can perform this task.

Something something tinkerbell waving wands around me anytime...

Of course we all know in reality it'll be the Queen of Hearts...

I'm glad they are beefing it up a bit if this is true. I know there is also a lot of unseen security, but it's never bad to have extra. I'll just be allowing more time to get through the lines to get in.

Ill be there Thursday-Sunday (in the parks Friday-Saturday, maybe some on Sun), I'll report what I see when I go

But what was quoted is wrong. There is no Friday, December 17 this year. There is a Thursday, December 17 and a Friday, December 18.

I'll be there Saturday-Wednesday.

The reports of people seeing officers in the parks are really anecdotal. We live just a few miles away from the parks and visit very, very frequently. There have always (well at least for the last several years) been police officers around the parks. Its not new. You're just noticing them more now because you're looking for them.

I've always noticed them, I'm just seeing more, in terms of usually there is 1 OCSO cruiser parked at each park and the TTC, when I went I said I saw more, meaning when I went there was 2 or 3 at HS, a couple cruisers at the MK bus loop (plus one parked at the traffic light by the Contemporary). I didn't go to any other parks so I can't speak for the TTC, EP, or AK.

I'm just thinking to myself that it would be funny to get a pat down at the entrance to a WDW park from someone wearing those big white Mickey hands.

I'm not quite sure how effective that'd be though.

According to the Orlando Sentinel "Disney World is also discontinuing the sale of toy guns and banning people 14 and older from wearing costumes – even at Halloween parties. "

Yep no costumes for anybody 14 or over, including the Halloween party - that's specifically what it says.

And Disneyland too.

Wow. No costumes at MNSSHP? That was a good portion of why we went to MNSSHP! Dressing up as a family as Rapunzel, Flynn and Pascal (our 15 month old DD) was the absolute best experience!

Just heard on the news that WDW is getting metal detectors and no costumes for guests over a certain age.
