Tripod Question

[Gianna'sPapa]

After 14 years, we are heading back to Disney World for a quick 5-day trip. What are the latest rules on tripods at the parks? I would like to shoot some fireworks and possibly get some night shots.

Per the Disney website:

• Selfie sticks, hand-held extension poles for cameras or mobile devices, flags and banners are not allowed in any theme park or water park.
• Tripods or monopod stands that cannot fit inside a standard backpack or that extend over 6’ (182 cm) are not allowed in theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, or ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

My plan was to sling this and carry it through the park. Do you see any issues with my plan?

From several experiences I've had over the last 5-6 years, I think it will depend on the attitude that day of whatever screening guard you end up with. Consistency is definitely not their strong point. I'd say your chances are 50-50.
