One of Disney's policies is drones are not allowed. I get this 110%. You cannot have people taking drones off from the outside decks or their verandas and flying their drones while the ship is sailing. (I mean I want to do this because it would be super cool but I understand why you cannot). However, I'm going on an Alaskan cruise next year and would love to do some drone photography while I'm in the ports in areas where it is allowed. I don't want to try and sneak my drone on board, I was just curious if anyone has ever been able to bring one on board and check it in and out with Disney Security when going into ports.
