I think it does have everything to do with that situation, because before any of that, they were pretty good guys, always on the ball, and now metal detectors, which aren't even needed, now, if its for important events {like the christmas parties, or the marathon or the like} then yes I understand the need for metal detectors at the park entries; no problems there
I have personally seen people check into the hotels with long rifle cases. These were hunting rifles and the guests had no reason to hide them as they had no bad intentions. However with the crazy things I've seen people bring to hotels hiding something like what you mentioned would be very easy.
Guns make it into the parks all the time, that situation was nothing new. I would bet there are a few guests in the park with guns right now as we speak. It's apparent that this came from some sort of government suggestion/recommendation probably and hopefully based on some sort of intelligence gathering. If the government simply thought that guns weren't getting in because Disney has a rule and does bag check and realized this to not be the case based on this situation then we are in far greater danger than anyone realizes.
Same here on both counts, I dont trust Intercot with their info, but once in a very great while, they're right. I myself can't even think of disney even USING metal detectors to begin with. Butr I understand they want us safe, but whose to stop some random dork from setting off a bomb belt on those waiting to go through ? What will happen then ?
Seriously ? They actually DID that ban ? I mean I can understand the pirate flintlocks so obvouisly fake, but the bubble guns too ? What are the kids gonna do while waiting for a parade ?
I think this is the key to it all. There is something outside of public knowledge that has forced the parks into doing this. It wasn't a Disney organized plan to do this - it was somehow pushed onto them. This was all done at the very last minute, and with little time for planning.
Unchanged, because they are in a fixed location and can't be mistaken for real weapons.
Dont get me started on the star wars/disney crossovers, imagine snow white as a slave princess..... That is not exactly PG13 or even for disney to see at their parks. Dont get me wrong, the work these cosplayers put into their costumes is amazing to get things to look and work right. But costumes like that should be at a convention or the like, not at Disney parks.
