Several years ago I was playing in a classic rock band and we did a special event at Disneyworld and had to go “backstage” to get to where we needed to unload our gear. Their security was tighter than my day job at KSC. Pop up barricades in the roadway that raised and lowered for each vehicle and you HAD to be on “the” list to gain access. We talked to a few folks who were still there from the day shift and some of the night shift folks that worked “backstage”. They said they had to be careful of what they said because there were “ears” (ref to Mickey?) everywhere. Kind of spooky at the time but now it seems that the NSA is/has been doing the same thing for a while. But, I’m sure they’ve stopped now that they’ve been caught. NOT! :>}

It still shocks me how little video security exists on the Anaheim resorts at least. And when I was back stage as part of a race at Disney World, never saw a single monitor camera away from an entrance point. Security is very Ears on the ground there (and at Anaheim.)

But what a security service; quick and efficient at dealing with issues and getting them off stage as quick as possible. Since I tend to people watch at the Disney Parks, I generally notice their actions more often. Love going around ‘gay day’ and watching the group leaders be escorted off property. Which is dramatically different from ‘bats day’ or ‘dapper day’ where they bend over backwards to help organizers.

As much as Freepers love to bash Disney Parks on here, they are without a doubt the most conservative of the Disney properties.
