Guests recently saw an imposed ban on selfie sticks on Disney theme park attractions. Now, Disney is banning them throughout the parks as a whole effective this Monday, June 30, 2015. They were banned from attractions due to safety concerns the sticks posed when brought onto the attractions. Guest Relations cast members will assist security cast as they will be assigned to security screening areas to help assist in stopping selfie sticks from getting into the parks.
If found guests will be able to leave with the sticks and take them back to their resort or guests can leave it with a guest relations cast member who will give the guests a ticket so they could collect it as they leave the park.
The ban comes just days after a guest snuck a selfie stick onto California Screamin' in Disney's California Adventure. Cast members stopped the ride and it resumed shortly thereafter. However according to Twitter reports, guests had to be evacuated from the ride before it could be restarted. Selfie Sticks will be banned from all Disney Theme Parks including Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Hong Kong Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris.
