Another reason to avoid Disney

"They don't believe anyone should have weapons on their property. " Ron J.

They don't believe anyone on the planet should have, or need, weapons. I agree 100%. I am not, however, in total denial of human nature, and will not sacrifice my security in furtherance of their quest for the Garden of Eden. I just don't understand why they fear the honest man, armed against evil, and foolishly believe that their policies will evoke everyman's better nature.

The ting is the policy only affects employees that HAVE a CCW!

The FL law that just passed says that CCW holders are allowed to keep a gun in the car while at work (with the fireworks exception).

As far as visitors to the park there is no restriction on CCW holders.  I carry all the time at Universal.

Unless the powers that be are standing at the gates with wands and are doing strip searches, there is no way in hell they will know that I was carrying.

If I was working there and one fine day I see that they are wanding or using metal detectors, or even asking to search my vehicle.....I'd politely tell them to kiss my donkey, turn around and leave.

Id phone in my resignation.

I had been to Disney Land several times in the past with my kids while I suffered living in SoCal.

Admittedly the first couple of visits were a dream come true for me.  As a child I watched the opening day festivities on the family's B&W Philco TV.

After that second visit I became annoyed at the BS we had to suffer while visiting.

And now this crap.  I can't help but feel that old Walt is spinning in his grave over the way his dream is being run now days.

having worked for them( working for a very large contractor that was doing remodel work at DL) I can tell you they do every thing but strip search you.  They really don't mess around.   Infact there was more security there then there was when I was working on a FBI building ( same contractor)

Are the Disney security guards armed??

I guess times have changed.  If I recall, they used to store their fireworks in the old bunkers at the airport.  Orlando International used to be an airforce base, and Disney rented some of the old bunkers for storage.  This was in the early 90's when I used to call on them.  With all their building over the last years, they may have decided it was better to build their own storage area instead of transporting them from OIA.

Do you have a way to check on that ? If they store their explosives OFF SITE then the explosives clause wouldn't be in affect.Would it ?

I don't live up that way anymore Tom.  If there is anyone from the Orlando area, maybe they could check.

It would still be in effect, because regardless of where they store them, they shoot them off from barges in lagoons towards the back of the property, i.e., ON the property.

Oh, thought there was a way to jam them up .
