Sources Detail Some of Disney’s Increased Security Measures

According to Deadline.com, they have confirmed some of the increased security measures Disney is now taking in the wake of the Orlando Pulse murders:

The company almost immediately increased undercover security and surveillance at Disney World, Disneyland and other domestic resorts after Sunday’s fatal shootings at the nearby Pulse club, sources close to the situation tell Deadline.

Along with that response becoming more long term, there will be more defense measures put in place in other aspects of the company’s parks business too. The likes of the Florida city’s Disney Springs, previously called Downtown Disney, has commonly been light in terms of security without the use of bag checks or metal detectors. More plainclothes security will now be in the area as well as potential uniformed security too in coming weeks.

They also report Disney will be increasing security on event days like the Unofficial Gay Days help at parks and resorts. Yesterday, Disney released an official statement regarding their security measures:

Unfortunately we’ve all been living in a world of uncertainty, and we have been increasing our security measures across our properties for some time, adding such visible safeguards as magnetometers, additional canine units, and law enforcement officers on site, as well as less visible systems that employ state-of-the-art security technologies.
