New Evolv AI security scanners & bag-check procedures implemented at the parks

I wonder if this is why Disneyland never went to using this system. I’ve heard reasons ranging from “too many bad things got through when DL tested it” to “the union for security folks fought against it.”

I will say, the DL security lines were some of the most frustrating lines in the park. Hopefully WDW can figure out a way not to go back to the “empty your pockets” process.

What Disney needs to do it bring back the more intrusive security check, and then offer a TSA precheck like service that allows you to skip the intrusive security. ;)

Actually, Disney AristoCatscan+ service will begin in 2025 at the introductory rate of $39.99/guest/day.
I’d pay extra for the cavity searches.

You got that @Bob ???

I’m ok with them hassling me over trivial things if means a more secure park, the world is a different place, can’t be too naïve and think everyone has the best of intentions. Just remember the pulse nightclub shooter was targeting/casing DS first.
It doesn’t mean a more secure park. Over and over again tests and the data shows that these types of screenings only keep out a very small fraction of contraband. Just look at why this thread was resurrected and Evolv’s settlement with the FTC.

The Pulse nightclub shooting occurred before there was any security screening at Disney Springs. It was a bad target because people could disperse and not be easily trapped. We keep responding to events by trying to make people easier targets.

Even the TSA does terrible in the tests they run. Those X-rays are in serious need of advanced AI to help highlight potential contraband.

They already have this at Disney Springs and it's called using a resort bus.

Snark aside, I wish they'd use the same scanners that Universal Orlando uses. I never need to get wanded over or stopped there. I've popped at WDW with literally nothing in my pockets and no bag (phone/wallet/airpods in hand). Those things just aren't accurate. It does seem to happen more at Springs than anywhere else weirdly. I've been fortunate that I've never had a rude CM at security.
