Overview

• Resort-bus passengers entering Disney Springs must now pass through metal detectors, with bag checks if alarms trigger.
• Evolv scanners at park gates scan people and bags simultaneously, allowing most guests to continue without stopping unless flagged.
• Disney’s layered approach includes uniformed and plainclothes officers, canine teams, bag-scanning technology, and coordination with local law enforcement.
• The prohibited-items list has expanded to cover toy weapon replicas, drones, selfie sticks, folding chairs, glass containers, alcoholic beverages, and balloons at Animal Kingdom.
• Stroller inspections are more thorough, with parents sometimes asked to remove children and open diaper bags and compartments to address concealment concerns.
