Today a Disney Spokesperson confirmed to the Orlando Sentential that Selfie Sticks were not being banned from the parks, but that the parks were going to better enforce the existing rules about items needing to be stowed on rides*. The official quote from Disney’s spokesperson per the Orlando Sentinel was “The official policy has not changed, guests riding attractions, trams and other moving vehicles are already asked to securely stow any equipment such as cameras, canes and other personal belongings — and selfie sticks are in the same category.” So be prepared to hear “Please securely stow all personal items such as cameras, bags, hats, selfie sticks and of course “these little beauties.” the next time you ride Soarin’.
~Please don’t raise them in the air above crowds blocking the view of those behind you, while creating a bright screen mark in their field of vision. If you must raise it up in the night sky turn the screens display lighting down or off.
~Please pull over to the side of the “road” in the parks to take your selfie, don’t stop right in a walkway.
~Make sure when extending your selfie stick to watch for others who may not see you to avoid their being injured.
