Selfie sticks no longer allowed at Walt Disney World

[Minnie-Maniac]

Has Disney made a statement on why they are banning the selfie sticks in the parks? Could it be that they can be used as a weapon when fully extended or is it because they are afraid people are going to use them and stop using the photo cast members?

They did try to ban them only on rides but people were sneaking them on and opening them once the ride started. Then they have to stop the ride which inconveniences everyone.

I can certainly see how this could be a major problem especially if you have the selfie stick out on a high speed roller coaster like the Rock N Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, or Space Mountain. It would be dangerous if the thing would fly out of the persons hand.

Vy happy about this! Now, can we ban the iPads in front of you also!

I have seen people use the Selfie Sticks while hiking on trails with few people where it is not a problem. But to bring them into a crowded park is a hazard and they certainly have no place on a ride. Banning the devices in the Disney parks is a great idea.

Next - Ban the wall of iPads held up blocking everyone's views and prohibit the sitting on shoulders. A shame that people that do this have given no consideration to the people behind them. How can they be so thoughtless?

Next - Ban everyone over 5'8''. They're just too darn tall, and keep blocking everyone else's view with their giant inconsiderate heads.

This is the best thing I ever bought for my cell phone! It is by Shoulderpod and is the S1 Smartphone rig. It fit even on my iPhone 6+. It has a very short handle but gave me stability when taking pictures or videos as I am getting a bit shaky. It comes in a nice small box which is nice for packing. the small handle unscrews from the unit and it can even be put on a tripod. LOVE mine.

This is just what I have been looking for.
