Disney World to install metal detectors at Orlando theme parks

ORLANDO, Fla. — Walt Disney World officials said it is installing metal detectors at all of its Orlando theme parks.

Disney is also discontinuing the sale of toy guns, including toy blasters and squirt guns on Disneyland Resort/Walt Disney World property, and are no longer permitting these items to be brought into the theme parks.

Park officials said there have also been more deputies and security guards on the premises and specially trained dogs have been patrolling key areas.

A man was arrested by deputies who said he tried to bring a gun inside the Magic Kingdom last weekend.
Disneyland in California will also get metal detectors.
