Disney bans selfie sticks at theme parks worldwide


By AGENCY

Walt Disney Co will ban selfie sticks starting this week at its theme parks around the world, says the company on June 26, joining a growing list of attractions that restrict the camera accessories for safety reasons.

Beginning June 30, the company will not allow selfie sticks – extension rods used for taking self-portraits with smartphones – at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, or Disneyland in Anaheim, California. The ban will begin on July 1 at parks in Hong Kong and Paris.
