Disney thinks photographers are terrorist - harassment of tourist even on entry to parks is up [View All]

Previously, only one security guard would approach me and we’d have the same discussion. On the fourth and final encounter, I was approached by several guards and their manager, Don. I don’t know Don’s last name, since Disney only puts first names on their name tags.

I explained to Don that I’d been approached three times previously. He said that he knew. All of those guards worked for him and they had apprised him of their discussions with me. I asked Don why he approached me and he said that there were complaints about me. He never said what complaints he’d received, though, and never brought up complaints again. I struggled to think what I could’ve done to cause complaints. My photos were of buildings, not people. I didn’t ask anyone to move or change a thing. In situations like that, you just sit and wait for the best moment to take your photos. After all, everyone else has just as much right to be where they want.

When you enter the park even without a camera you are treated as a criminal with extreme bag search and fingerprinted
