Overview

• Immigration authorities said eight people, including photographers and makeup artists, were arrested between late August and early September at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and the Central Ferry Piers.
• Two Hong Kong residents were also arrested on suspicion of assisting others to breach stay conditions linked to arranging photography or makeup services.
• Providing commercial photography inside the park violates its terms of use, and officials cautioned that clients who hire such services may face penalties.
• Walt Disney World and Hong Kong Disneyland forbid unapproved commercial shoots, a policy increasingly enforced after reports of passholders offering paid sessions earlier this year.
• Theme park operators across the industry impose similar limits, with reports of Universal Studios Beijing barring freelance photographers and Six Flags requiring written consent for any commercial photography.
