Thousands of international Disney guests must now undergo enhanced security screening measures before entering the park.
For years, Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort have enforced strict security policies, especially following the 9/11 attacks. Guests have long been required to pass through metal detectors before entering the Disney parks, and while bag checks have largely been eliminated due to advanced screening technology, Disney cast members still inspect strollers, mobility devices, and any flagged bags.
While these measures are routine in the United States, some international Disney Park guests are encountering them for the first time. On Thursday, March 13, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort guests were met with newly installed metal detectors at the park entrance.
New Disney Security Measures
According to @hkdisneyreport on Instagram, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort has officially implemented metal detectors as part of an “enhanced security screening procedure.” The account shared photos of Disney security cast members directing guests through the new process, stating:
‼️Safety first!‼️
