You'll likely be indefinitely trespassed.

Bag scanners set up at Springs today. No idea if these are just a test or a replacement.

Damn, I was actually at Springs yesterday.

Long overdue I believe. I'm actually surprised there hasn't been an incident prior to this.

Was he also wearing a Mission Impossible-style realistic mask that made him look like an adult?

He was just late for Halloween!!

Sounds like the scanners are already paying off.

I suspect they used cell phone location data to tip them off after the fact.

First, neither the airline, TSA nor Florida would object. As long as you properly check a firearm (unloaded in a locked case with ammunition separate), you can take it on a domestic flight wherever you want. As long as you either have a concealed carry permit from a reciprocal state or follow the rules to have it with you in a non-concealed manner then Florida doesn't care. 1) Disney only has the legal authority to keep you from entering with a weapon. They can call the cops (who are nearby anyway) but all they will do is escort you back to your vehicle as long as you weren't concealing the weapon without a concealed carry permit. It isn't illegal to bring a legal weapon onto private property as long as it is carried legally, it is just against the policy of, in this case, Disney to do so. 2) While Disney can't put cameras in the bathrooms (or changing rooms in a clothing store (I've never noticed if these exist), I can't think of anywhere else on property where you would have an expectation of privacy. They have cameras all over the place as it is. Also, if they are scanning you at the entrance, why would they need to keep scanning as you walk around? As far as announcements of what they are doing, I'm sure whatever they do that requires disclosure is in the terms and conditions fine print when you purchase a ticket or pass.

And Downtown Disney at DL is still hand searching bags and using the old school metal detectors. Argh. Seriously? Touching bags so you're spreading germs in a pandemic?! #annoyed

Disney has never (with good reason) fully disclosed their security precautions for the parks or Springs, but even if you consider only the cameras that we can physically see it’s very apparent that 100% of guests accessing the Springs property are observed and screened in some way and have been for quite some time. I don’t know if it’s 100% of the time as it might be in London, but it would not surprise me in the least if Springs has near total camera coverage on the public spaces, with individual stores of course running their own loss prevention systems. As has been mentioned, after the Pulse shooting it was disclosed that the shooter evaluated Springs earlier in the week. For Disney and other investigating agencies to be able to state that with certainty, it means there has to have already been a reasonably comprehensive surveillance system in place at that time. They could go back through recordings after the fact and find him specifically out of a crowd of literally tens of thousands, and verify his specific actions and intent across property. Their capabilities were already absolutely at and likely exceed what you describe as being concerned about.

There’s a reason OC Sheriffs department are at each entrance.
