Knives in the parks

[I am Timmy]

I have gone through with small pocket knives ever now and then, and never had an issue.

Once, many years ago, I brought in a backpack that I had used on a few hikes. I thought I had taken everything out, but security pulled out a container of waterproof matches, and a small vial of iodine tabs. That was interesting (they let me keep them)

I guess I'm going to have to start bringing a pocket knife so I can cut my meat. Actually, that is not a bad idea..... I have been known to carry horseradish in my purse if I know I'm ordering steak.

This must have changed, at least for Disney Springs. We went to Frontera Cocina in December, ordered steak dishes medium rare. We could not cut the meat with any knife they provided - my hand was cramping halfway through the steak. The dullest steak knives EVER (actually they might have been cleverly disguised butter knives......), and when you ask for steak knives they bring you more of the same. My DS (22) had to go caveman on his steak and just picked it up and ate it. He declared it delicious, but would have preferred eating it the old fashioned way. So, is dull knives throughout the world the new trend?

Sounds like you had your steak overcooked

nice and rare is the way to go

If you can't cut it with a fork, it's not done right.

If you can't cut it with a SPork, it's not done right.

At DL we were walking from the parking lot at Downtown Disney toward the parks entrance and this big biker looking guy (long beard, Harley shirt and all) came over grabbed my arm and showed me his Mickey Security badge under his biker vest. He said you can't come in here with that knife. I was like what knife?! After some back and forth we came to the conclusion that the knife that he saw was my folding car key I had been messing with...

They were pretty serious about it - and for 2 days I saw the same guy between DTD and DL/DCA crowd watching....

Weapons laws in CA would be different, a pocket knife might be considered a weapon there. It may also give you cancer if you're carrying it while you're in the state. You'd be fine once you crossed the state line though.

So now I'm really hungry for steak.
