Disney World Imposes New Ban

Walt Disney World Resort, like any theme park, is compelled to enforce rules and regulations to ensure all guests’ safety, comfort, and enjoyment. These rules are necessary to maintain order and create an environment where families and individuals can have a positive and memorable experience.

Guests undergo screenings and bag checks before entering Disney parks to enhance security measures. This allows Disney security to ensure prohibited items are not making its way into the parks.

Lately, a common rule that has been broken is the dress code. Guests have been wearing overly revealing clothing or “offensive attire,” including clothing with profanity or vulgar imagery. Additionally, guests over 14 are prohibited from wearing costumes except during Halloween events.

One item that is prohibited but guests seem to still bring to the parks in hopes of using is selfie sticks. Disney has selfie sticks listed as prohibited items to bring into the parks due to guests trying to use them on rides or accidentally hitting another guest.

Disney continues to update and change the list of prohibited items to ensure guests’ safety. The latest item that is now banned from Disney is the newly popular Apple Vision Pro, which has sold more than 200,000 headsets since preorders opened.

Recently, YouTuber Mickey shared a video of him wearing his Apple Vision Pro at Disney World. This shows that he made it through security before being told that his new VR headset was now banned at Disney World.

During the video, if you skip to 9 minutes and 50 seconds, you can hear Mickey explain why his VR headset is now banned at Disney World. This product is banned because it is like a mask, which are banned at Disney World other than for medical purposes.

Disney may reconsider its stance on allowing the Apple Vision Pro in the future, but for now, security protocols mandate its exclusion from park attire.

Disney fans who have Apple Vision Pro should be excited about a major announcement “that began earlier this monght on its popular streaming platform. Disney+ subscribers can now enjoy Disney’s iconic stories in a new dimension, courtesy of Apple’s spatial computing technology, at no extra charge.”

While Disney’s official website has not been updated with adding VR headsets to the list of prohibited items guests looking to plan ahead for their vacation and wondering what is allowed into the parks should go ahead and be prepared to leave their VR sets at the hotel before visiting “The Most Magical Place on Earth.”

Disney and Tech Giant Apple Officially Join Forces

Friday morning marked the beginning of a new era in digital entertainment as The Walt Disney Company and tech giant Apple officially became partners after years of speculation about a possible collaboration. But fans are shocked by what was left out of the partnership.

For nearly 140 years, the second day of February has been known as the day a furry, burrowing creature emerges from his slumber in the ground, checks the weather outside, and looks to see whether he’s cast a shadow on the surface of the earth.

Somehow, the presence or absence of that shadow predicts whether we’ll have an early spring or six more weeks of winter.

But Friday gave a new significance to the date, serving as the first official day of a new Disney and Apple partnership with the unveiling of the tech giant’s newest gadget, the Apple Vision Pro.

First announced in June 2023, the Apple Vision Pro is a virtual reality (VR) headset that Apple describes as a “spatial computer that transforms how people work, collaborate, connect, relive memories, and enjoy entertainment.” But as Apple is a tech company known for creating breakthrough technologies in computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, and digital devices and gadgets, the entity needed a partner who could provide the aforementioned entertainment.

Who better to answer the call than The Walt Disney Company?

Friday marked the first day that Apple’s new $3500 gadget is available at Apple Store locations across the U.S. and at the Apple Store online as well. And Disney has promised some revolutionary new content–that is, a revolutionary way of enjoying that content.

The new Apple Vision Pro VR headsets offer more than 40 Disney-produced titles available for purchase in a 3D format that brings the magic of the films to life like never before. Below is a list of the 42 titles available on Apple Vision Pro.

Some Disney fans point out, however, that the list of Disney-owned film titles available in a 3D format on Apple’s new device is missing several of the classics for which the company is known, including Disney’s Cinderella (1950), Frozen (2013), Pixar’s Toy Story franchise, and others.
