Selfie sticks - is this a thing at WDW yet? Disney clarifies policy

[KordovaJD]

I saw a good number of selfie sticks in the MK on Friday and Monday, but only in front of the castle really. Didn't notice too many elsewhere.

I find it weird that in all my experiences.. AK was the park that I seen more selfie sticks.

I can buy that, but it felt like it was about 400 degrees on Saturday at AK, so I was not paying very close attention.

It felt about 400 deg up at Uni that day also

I've been to WDW about 4 times in the last few months. I've seen 2 selfie sticks.

Selfie sticks are old and busted.
Behold: the new hotness:



Can't wait for someone to toss one of these things right at the start of Big Thunder just for the mayhem it would cause.

Sweet mother of monkey milk, I must have one of those!

While Lily is cool, you throw one of those up while at Disney and be ready to for a lot more problems than just being asked to leave.

It's going to happen, though. All the time.
Just wait until every teenager can get a similar followdrone from Wal-Mart for $74.99
The future is going to be hilarious.

Will it? How are you going to get it into the park? Can't hide it in a bag. I guess you could stuff it down your pants or shirt but again you would probably be singled out by security. It's not to farfetched in the near future to have a follow-drone the size of a Hubsan X4.

more like a sad future.
it will be about documenting everyday dumb stuff.. from sleeping to going to the loo.
they will be doing their own personal dumb "realities" and annoying others while doing so.

Must be region based as it plays for me.

Narcissism and self-absorbed behavior at it's finest. Everyone is a star of their own reality and gets much, much more than '15 minutes of fame' (in their own minds). Yep, sad.

If written well, this topic and how we got here could make for an interesting read. In my opinion its a misdirection of what's important as driven by advertising. I may be wrong but seems many of our problems do stem from there, and with people believing advertising to be reality.

Its hard to tell the country of origin of folk by just looking at people, but I wonder if the selfie stick has gone as international as I think it has, and it is not primarily a US-based thing. Anyone want to play a guest bingo game, see if we notice a trend?

The future? That's how "social media" already largely is.

not all the population. Can you imagine when the drone population reaches 50% of the human population? XD

Saw them in use today at AK and Epcot. The whole thing is disturbing. Self-absorbed the lot of them.
