No metal detectors at the cast member entrances...and if I understand correctly, no bag check either.

It is possible I missed them seeing how it was quite crowded. Regarding CSC however, yes its not their job to play detective, but is it their job to harass guests? Disney security isn't perfect by a long shot, but the interactions I had with them were pleasant AND they did a decent bag search...

So...I was at MK on Saturday, which was a really busy day. A good time to evaluate the new security measures first hand. What a complete JOKE they are. In fact I cannot stress enough how pathetically pointless they are. To start off, I showed up at around 11am with a huge camera backpack...

Any word on if these same measures are being taken at CM entrances as well? The last few "threats" I know about all involved cast areas.

They have a few months to figure out how they are going to handle that. I think the lack of official stance on it at this point has been very deliberate.

..although this will sound like a joke..im serious.. This is going to conflict BIG time with the guests who already claim that due to disabilities, they or their children can't handle crowds or long lines.

Oh I completely agree. I am just saying that the new security at the gates are more of a threat than what they are "protecting" everybody from.

Already talked about this on twitter: Part of my current employment is me dealing with a large amount of lawsuits involving the negligence of private security firms (CSC included). Most hire low-wage employees (some with violent criminal records), do minimal training, slap a jacket on them and...

They are also only using wands from what I've seen.

My question is who decides who gets scanned and who doesnt? If its the low-wage borderline criminals that work for CSC (Sorry if that seems harsh but this company has a really bad track record of hiring thugs), then this will be more of a joke than it already seems.

In case any of you were wondering, this is the same company handling the metal detectors: Sources are saying that all the theme parks were urged by the government to implement these measures...it seems a bit coincidental that CSC is getting the biggest boost from that advice...

The two character review stores in florida ;)

Bingo. Thus the "selective" use of the metal detectors. If they feel you may be trying to sneak something in, or you are wearing something that makes it hard to see...you'll most likely be directed to the metal detector.

I'll admit that this completely slipped past my radar. I have been asking about it for a few days now with no answer which should have been a clue I guess. We'll see how this works out. Also curious as to if this will change the late night security checks as well (where they are basically...

I'll be in the area on Saturday, and I'll see what is willing to be disclosed. Still haven't heard much on this other than an increase on the thoroughness of the bag checks, and the possibility of different lines for different types of checks (ie: Bagless, small bag/purse, larger bags). Seeing...

I have heard nothing credible about this at all (and for those who know my post history can testify that I may know a thing or two about upcoming procedure changes at the parks ;) ). I do know that security was looked at regarding possible attacks on property (in fact there was a false bomb...

I personally love my surface pro 3. I have never had a hiccup running photoshop or lightroom on it (at the same time). I never use it for video editing, BUT..adobe have been optimizing their software suites to match the hardware capabilities of the surface line (including use of touch). You just...

I use both Mac (macbook pro) and a PC (surface pro 3). A few notes: Macs are (very) expensive. Even getting certified apple refurbs (recommended), its still going to run you way more than the average PC. That being said, however..the longevity of the system is pretty impressive. I currently use...

If it can be folded up to be below 15 inches they typically don't care. If it can attach to your camera bag then they are totally ok with it. Its when you try to carry it in separately in its own case that it usually gets stopped. Its all at the discretion of that particular security guard.

I am sure you're aware but you can get the MeFoto in carbon fiber as well (tho the price difference is significant). As far as maneuvering around....your mileage will vary on that one. Even on "dead" days it can be a pain depending on the types of guests that are around. General rule is get to...
