Disney Bans Those Darn Selfie Sticks
Read Time:1 Minute, 6 Second
Those who simply must prove they’ve been to Disney World will need to do so without the use of a selfie stick.
Disney is banning the device—generally a pole with a camera stuck on the end of it—at all its theme parks because of safety concerns, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Just this week, someone pulled one out on a roller coaster at Disney California Adventure park, even though the sticks had been previously banned from rides. The stunt caused the coaster to shut down for an hour.
Disney is joining a trend in banning selfie sticks, which already are outlawed at many renowned museums both in the US and abroad and at some big-league sporting events, reports USA Today. Part of the reason is so nobody’s view gets obstructed during the grand pose.
Starting Tuesday, selfie sticks will be confiscated at the gate from Disney visitors, who will be allowed to pick them up later if they wish.

We go to Disneyland here in CA often and as much as it costs to go into the park they better keep people safe from being hurt by these damn things. I refuse to do selfies with friends if we are out. I prefer enjoying their company rather than always wanting to be on my phone or taking pictures of myself. I know what I look like I don’t need the reminder all day, everyday like some people.
‘probably a good thing. It’s only a matter of time until somebody gets one of those things crammed up their ass! As a serious photographer, I’ve been tempted myself. I can’t tell you how many otherwise good pics have been ruined by some fool waving one of them around.
