Disney World Steps Up Security, Targeting Unauthorized Tours, Drones, Viral Stunts

Overview

• Security is identifying and escorting unauthorized paid guides out of the parks, with participating guests stopped and informed of the rules.
• Drones are being seized at bag check or intercepted before launch because the resort sits within FAA-designated no-fly airspace.
• Attempted drone flights can lead to removal from property, trespass warnings, or federal aviation penalties depending on severity.
• Guests staging attention-seeking stunts are being removed immediately, and many face extended bans for behaviors that disrupt rides or restricted areas.
• Disney has increased security presence in known hotspots, and cast members have new guidance to escalate suspected incidents quickly.
