Y’all be happy to know that Lalo was at the parks yesterday, living his best life.
I asked what I would consider to be a mid to higher lever DL security officer about the act of vloggers, influencers and artists leaving what is referred to as “art drops” in the parks. I was told this is something they are aware happens and do not allow or condone it, but is merely punishable by a “hey, please don’t do that”. As we know, BLAB has scattered buttons in the parks on multiple occasions…this is documented.
I had to know, so I embarrassingly asked about the use of facial recognition. I was told that WDW tested facial recognition last year for park entry, but it was abandoned. I don’t think he knew what I was getting at so I asked, what about facial recognition throughout the park and just got a chuckle. They just have cameras in various locations, rides and pay points. No facial recognition software is being used in the parks. I again embarrassingly asked the question of fingerprinting being used to catch vloggers leaving buttons or stickers in the park and instead of a chuckle I got a guttural laugh. I again made the embarrassing decision to ask the police that hang out over at the hotel on my way out. I asked one of the officers about the use of finger printing for finding out who left some buttons and stickers in the park for fans… he laughed and gave me an "are you serious" look. He said they don’t even fingerprint car break ins anymore. Fingerprinting is done by a specialized department known as crime scene investigators an only used for major crimes, thefts and home or business break-ins.
After taking with security, I figured it best to not do something DL doesn’t really allow. I will figure out another way to get stickers into hands that doesn’t involve Disneyland.
Have a great weekend everyone!
