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

You can ban selfie sticks the way you can ban smoking. It's super easy to enforce it. You just need to want to do it.

I don't think Disney will though, its audience seems to have an immense fixation on taking pictures. I'd be happy if they would at last enforce their no flash on indoor rides rule.

Yes. I wish dark rides had a "flush" option and offenders could be dropped through a chute into a vat of vomit at the push of a button, mid-picture. :joyfull: There's a little dark spot in my heart that is reserved for those people.

It is simple thay check bags at all the parks all they have to do is take the selfie sticks at the bag check and if someone does gt through with one whn a cast member sees them using it they present a simple choice throw it away or be escorted from the park.

You have a lot of faith in that check…

This is exactly what is going to be enforced. Except for the throwing away part, that's not very Disney like. Haha. They will be checked at guest relations before throwing them away or if a guest arrived by bus and doesn't have a car to take it to. Sources have said training is starting tomorrow for this new policy.

Or turn it over to the CM, the CM gives a claim ticket, and the idiotic device can be retrieved at the end of the day or be sent to your room.

I was braced for the Selfie Sticks this week, but they weren't as bad as I had feared. I only nearly got decapitated by one once, and the other times they were used fairly respectibly. There were signs outside of rides indicating that you can't use them on there though. But then again, like someone said they need to enforce it. I saw three women light up as they were walking out of Peter Pan - me and another woman were both trying to nicely say something to them, but then a cast member walked by... And did nothing.

Just out of curiosity does this also include Mini hand-held tripods? I've been trying to find anything about that...Mine looks like to this...
