You Should Feel Safe At DisneyWorld

NOT WORTH IT... ANOTHER THREAD DESTROYED

All that bag checking has paid off!

I am not suprised that Disney is investing in new ways to protect its guests. It's the responsible thing to do. As for terrorist attacks, they can happen anywhere. We must continue to live our lives and enjoy our rights to travel otherwise we will hand the terrorists as a victory they do not deserve. I will be boarding a plane for Orlando on 9/11 this year and, in doing so, I will be showing my contempt for al Qaeda.

That's good to know. People here comment "How can bag checking prevent terrorism?", so we know now that it isn't just the bag checks.

I am really not suprised! I was a CM durring 9/11 and many managers freely admitted to me that while they had emergency plans for just about anything else, no one had a plan against terrorist attack. I am glad they got on the ball!

that's awesome to hear. I honestly feel safe there anyways but good to know there is security.

I always figured that there were behind the scenes plans and preventions. I am glad to hear it confirmed as fact.

How can people NOT know how bag checking helps to stop ?!?
If the bags are checked for everyone then that limits one way that a terrorist could get in bombs, guns and other stuff! What did people think the security was looking for? Lethal banannas? Fruit bombs? Posion in water bottles...? I am only surprised that Disney still lets guests bring in a pre filled container with "water". Think of all the stuff that could be slipped in there!

And there are more cameras per square foot at WDW then allmost any other place in the US. If you know where/ what to look for you can see them every few yards. And that is only the obsious ones! My DH and DB work for a big international firm that does security for USMilitary bases, and big bussinesses..they had fun pointing out cameras as I pointed out Hidden Mickeys! BTW, they found a LOT more cameras then I did Mickeys! And I had the book!

So don't ever do any thing at WDW that you don't wouldn't want to be seen doing on a large screen TV! I would even bet that there is cameras in the main areas of the bathrooms... NOT in the stalls. I know that on some of the info I have read from WDW it has said that when you buy a ticket you are giving Disney the right to photo and use your image, so that should cover anyone that might not be happy about all the cameras around, no matter where they are!

Goes to show, as Mom said, always were clean underwear, don't pick your nose and , be good (because besides GOD), you never know who is watching you! Big Brother Mouse is doing a good job of keeping us all as safe as he can!

"well you wont believe this...guess who we were trained by this time...Disney!"

This is not the first time. Disney has a consulting company that services communities, citites and even countries on security, criminal investigations and preventance.

Guiliani in the '80s, hired Disney to make recommendations to improve NYC back to a "family" city. It was very interesting what Disney proposed, and even more interesting what Guiliani said about the proposals.

bag checking isn't it....that's part of it but only a very small part of it...

any terrorist worth his weight could very easily get around the bag check...

i could get around the bag check without any trouble...


as for disney and security.....we went on our first DCL cruise during the summer following 9/11, on the 4th of July cruise...and this was when disney was considered one of the top targets and ships in particular were considered to be in the sights of the terrorists.....and there were many warnings regarding that 4th of july.....

we were very nervous so my husband contacted disney. He ended up speaking with the head of DCL security. We were immediately reassured. DCL was very much on top of the situation. And I'm sure they've advanced a great deal since then.

Let me just say to tell your husband thank you for the service that he provides. God Bless our Police, Fireman, Military, and Leaders that keep the rest of us safe!!!
