Park & Resort Security Measures
Walt Disney World Resort takes a comprehensive approach to security that includes some measures that are visible and others that are not.
Security
Please note that we do not broadly discuss the specifics of our security procedures to avoid compromising their effectiveness. However, be aware that:
- The visible security measures at our theme parks and Resort hotels include the presence of uniformed police officers, using specially trained hazard detection canines to help patrol, bag checks at our theme park entrances and security kiosks at our Resort hotels.
- In December 2015, we implemented additional security measures, including randomly selecting Guests for a secondary screening using metal detectors.
- Our security screening process has been modified to reduce contact between Cast Members and Guests. To help expedite entry, Guests carry their own bags and personal belongings as they pass through the metal detector unit. We recommend using clear bags when possible, traveling light by limiting the number of bags and personal items brought into the park, and removing umbrellas from your bag before you approach the screening area.
