Security at the Park Entrance

It is widely public knowledge that Disney uses Evolv scanners. How to go through them is something everyone should know before they arrive. OP's doctor would be best to ask about any metal implants.

Parkgoers should know to hold metal objects out in front of them as they walk through the scanners, like umbrellas, cell phone chargers/batteries, and metal mint tins like Altoids.
The Disney website doesn’t have this information on it, not that I can see anyway.

So if it’s “widely known” and guests “should know” what to do, that only applies to visitors who have been onto planning websites. And there are still thousands who don’t. It’s not unreasonable to simply study the official website of a place you are planning to visit. Even though there are plenty here who think that is irresponsible and indefensible!

shouldn’t that info be stated by Disney to all guests with tickets?

Case in point… I was just entering Disney springs

“Miss you take your bag to the table everyone else go around this way”

- that’s not the one anyone should be greeted on Disney property. Period. Not to mention the gendering.

”hello, my friend you’ll head this way so they can inspect your bag real quick, my other friends will continue to your right - thank you and welcome to Disney Springs.
Please leave the "real quick" out of it, watch any cop reality show and you will see why. You could make a drinking game out of it

Disney Springs has security checks in the garages because it wasn’t designed for them. They were added as a response to COVID which makes no sense but shows the bizarre willingness for ridiculous theater.

Then we definitely disagree, I think it’s a terrible policy.


So this is a policy?
Yes. So much so that they have separate lines and having kids exit strollers is policy for the reason I stated previously. But as I also mentioned, there are alternate procedures for kids unwilling to exit their stroller or adults unable to exit their scooters as well as folks with medical devices.

You keep use no the phrase “kids unwilling to exit their stroller”.

Presumably it is also policy not to expect parents to take a baby / toddler out of their stroller. Since I’ve never heard anyone say they were asked to do so.

Or to lift a child with a disability out of their stroller tagged as a wheelchair. Etc.

We were there a few weeks ago and the grandchildren (ages 18 months, 2 years and 3 years) had to be taken out of the strollers almost every time. The inspections were thorough and time-consuming.

We were there a week ago and my youngest (2 years old) was never asked to get out of the stroller. If there is a policy, I guess they’re not consistent about enforcing it.

I wonder if it had to do with the amount of stuff they had in there. With 3 kids, they were toting a lot in a double stroller.

Alas, you responded to an old post I made, and this thread has gone off the deep end.

When I said guests "should know to hold umbrellas out in front of them', I meant it in the sense that people might not already know to hold umbrellas out in front. (I could have perhaps better worded it ,"a useful thing to know is....") At the park entrance, the CM's say this loudly over and over to everyone. If someone is new to WDW, and doesn't listen to/follow that directive, they will be sent to the side for secondary screening. Again, this was an old post to a thread, and one that probably had posts deleted, as it was already an odd thread when it was new. Nothing I wrote was meant to be augmentative.

As to the brand of the scanners, images of the scanners were all over the internet under the headline, "WDW introduces new scanners!" While it may not be directly on WDW's website, pictures of the scanners were widely posted at the time on just about every WDW news site, because the new scanners are much faster than WDW's old bag check system.

They were also in the news in the past year when it came out that the NYPD rejected them for use at subway stations for being little better than nothing.

Laughable you point to the joke of a court system to make interstate commerce hold water. Courts misinterpret the constitution all the time and are as partisan as they are anything. 3 of the 9 SC justices said employers had the right to force you to get an experimental and ineffective vaccine for a respiratory virus as a condition of employment, even for jobs that were entirely remote. The fact governments can regulate interstate commerce doesn't mean they can do it by any means they choose.

The current government operates with blind disregard to most of the constitution, namely the welfare state that robs from one American to give to another. "But courts." The TSA falls into this category of misinterpretation and violation of elements of the Fourth Amendment and basic privacy. They are also performing the function that smells of bored fascism.

I'm not the first person that thinks this way. Again, you're just more willing to give up your rights, which makes you average/normal. That's why it's like this. Many/most people are ready to give up their first amendment when they hear something they don't like and it's inconvenient to their politics, their second amendment during shootings, their bodies during a pandemic, and their right to privacy whenever there is crisis.

As an attorney, I'd say you're dramatically misinterpreting the Constitution to make it say exactly what you want it to say, regardless of what it actually says.

Which isn't unusual, and you're free to do so, but you're certainly not stating any kind of objective truth about what the Constitution actually says.
