Here’s why Disney World won’t allow you to use selfie sticks

Disney World has officially announced that its guests won't be allowed to carry selfie sticks to Disney theme parks in Orlando. Selfie sticks will also be banned at Disneyland Resort in California and at Disney's parks in Paris and Hong Kong starting July 1. Spokeswoman Kim Prunty tells the Orlando Sentinel that selfie-sticks have become a "growing safety concern for both our guests and cast."

Officials say guests will have the option of turning in their selfie sticks for pick-up later, or returning them to their cars or hotel rooms. The sticks have been banned at a growing list of museums, music festivals and sports venues.
