It looks as though Disney will be cracking down on the use
of selfie sticks in the parks.
Selfie sticks are typically telescoping rods with a phone
mount on one end, allowing guests to take photos of themselves or a group, with
the camera positioned a couple of feet away from them on the end of the rod.
Disney is advising its Cast Members to ask guests not to
use the sticks on attractions or any moving vehicle, but they are welcome to
use them in other areas of the park at this time.
This apparently is not a new policy, as guests have always
been asked to stow personal items when board attractions as a matter of safety.
Pre-ordering of breakfast menu selections has begun Be Our Guest
Restaurant.
Just
like at lunch, guests will be able to pre-order
menu items from 30 days out, up to 5 minutes before the reservation time. The
ordering is done through the My Disney Experience website or app under My
Reservations. An email will be also sent out at the time of placing the
reservation with more information on the pre-order process.
As with lunch, you do not have to use the pre-order
system, as selection can be made at kiosks inside the restaurant upon arrival.
If you do make selections, they can also be modified once inside the
restaurant.
