Bigger song and dance is not at all related to actual stronger security.

It's not a theme park. It's a glorified shopping center.

Would Mickey do the pat down to make it magical or does the magic not begin until after your full cavity search?

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 scare in the utilidoors about 2 weeks ago I bet very few of you knew about), and as of yet...nothing has been slated to change. I can say this, they are more concerned over "vigilante" guests sneaking weapons into the parks "just in case" than they are of a terrorist group.
Some of you have already put it into perspective...the resort is HUGE. It would be impossible to monitor it all. Even now the bag checks are more of a formality "peace of mind" action, as its been shown they don't really work well. They are aware of that. They are also aware that if someone wants to attack them badly enough, they will. Its not a matter of being cheap, its a matter of maintaining a good balance of guest experience and showing they are "trying".

No, just Tigger and Donald.

This is actually a really good article. At first I thought it was piling on more blame on the characters, but later in the article it goes on to make a great defense for most of perceived offenses. The Tigger claim was a scam to get money from Disney. Then comes the really interesting part about false memories and the reason there are so many people that come out to social media after an allegation like this is made. Good read.

So the life of those at a theme park is more valuable?

If there are scanners, it will likely be the same routine when entering a sports stadium. You put your bag on a table and loose belongings in a bin and security waves you through the metal detector. Stadiums use the wands after all this too. I went through some tight security at the World Series in New York, which was expected. I also went through tighter security at a small rock show in Philly this past weekend than I have ever experienced. Security used to just check your bag for booze, drugs, etc but they check your bags for weapons and use the wands on everyone. This was not Madison Square Garden, this is a venue with a max capacity of 800 people. So eerie how the presence of security in our day-to-day lives have changed since 9/11. Whatever Disney implements, just gotta take a deep breath and let security do their jobs. Unfortunately, the Happiest Place on Earth is not impervious to hate.

i.e. so now guests will have to deal with TSA style security theater, Come on Disney give the TSA their bureaucratic wet dream and allow them to do security screening at Disney venues.
And the biggest soft target at WDW.

Two words 'security theater' because of the embarassing gun incident.
Perfect opportunity to introduce new uncharge premium packages. My Disney Security Screening + with complimentary themed pre-inspection desert party.

Hey, on a positive note it might reduce the number of people in the parks because they'll all be waiting in the security lines instead.

Yes but at 'soft' targets a 'soft' security model works best and to the horror of the anti-gunners that also includes properly trained civilians with weapons. What you don't want is some yahoo with a firearm blazing away with no training or fire discipline.
Unfortunately in many instances cops are not properly trained with firearms which is why you hear stories about hundreds of rounds fired yet only bystanders are hit. Our local gun club used to allow police to train at no charge, We were forced to stop by too many holes in the floors walls and ceilings caused by wannabe Wyatt Earp's in blue uniforms. And yes we had the video so we knew exactly who committed the negligent discharges

Announcing Disney's Security Scan+, the only way to enter our parks! Using DSS+ you can reserve a place in line for your security screening up to 60 days in advance **for onsite guests, 30 days for non-resort guests.

Make the Disney experience like the Orlando Airport experience and many will just not bother visiting.
