Travisma 1,317 Posted January 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Went to AK Sunday, and HS today.Didn't notice them at AK, but at HS the scanners at the main entrance were manned by Disney Security. When we left, I noticed that the side entrance scanner was still manned by the rent a cops.Another site had posted last week that Disney was hiring a lot more people for the security department, so it looks like those scanners are here to stay.On a side note, we went to Legoland on Monday. They were wanding everyone going thru except the kids, and they would wand them if they wanted to be.A woman in front of me said they were there a couple of weeks ago and they weren't wanding at that time, so this has just started.And the path from the hotel to the park is behind the scanning. I'm not sure if they had a security station on the path, there wasn't one when we visited the hotel, but that was getting near closing time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 MK was still using the yellow shirt folks on Sunday. An interesting phenomenon I noticed there is that many guests assumed that they had to go through the scanners after bag check, so they just headed there without being told. Like a bunch of sheep. That kept the yellow shirt folks busy. So busy that they weren't pulling "random" guests over to be scanned. Great deal for any bad guys who were visiting the park that day.

TCDwe visited HS without any bags, such a rare phenomena my granddaughter remarked about it as we all walked thru the no bag line. The Disney scanner guys were walking back and forth taking people from the closest bag check line only.(or at least that's what the one guy was doing) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helmsey......Todd 134 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I know this thread is old but since Dollywood was mentioned I wanted to post this update. According to a local news article Dollywood began bag checks on 3/21/206http://www.wbir.com/news/local/dollywood-hires-third-party-to-perform-bag-checks/106226645 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 I went to Busch Gardens in Tampa about a month ago, and they had scanners set up now. At least their and Seaworlds bag checks and turnstiles are completely under cover so they have it easier placing the scanners. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
