So be prepared to go back to the car if you are stopped at Bag Check.

Originally Posted By Darkbeer To MrsElder, as far as I know, it does not affect me, except if I want to bring a big zoom lens. And I don't plan to for the near future, until the policy is clarified. Once again, if you are an invited Media Guests, such as for the Miley Cyrus event, where you get a Media Host, you are allowed your "professional" equipment, and are supervised 24/7 during your stay and what you "can't" take.

As I mentioned in the First Post, it will more than likely change. They started the policy a couple of days ago and already trying to figure out what is "what"....
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains I just thought maybe there was a technology or something that changed there - I only asked because my Nikon 35mm has a 6 1/2" lens -- The zoom doesn't seem that much better then my Konica Minolta digital.
Originally Posted By SpokkerJones Lindsay Lohan more important than other guests. Not surprised. They'll bend over backwards for her and I don't understand why. So what if people are taking pictures of her with their long zoom lens? Ban her from the park entirely for smoking up and drinking with her friends in the park.

Here is one of many articles... <a href="http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrities/hollywood/lindsay-lohan-and-sam-ronson-disneyland-divas-207936/" target="_blank">http://www.celebrity-gossip.ne...-207936/</a> Caused Security a LOT of hassles.....

Originally Posted By submarine-maniac Thank you Darkbeer! Hmmm...I worked that day...suprised I didn't hear anything about her being there. Usually there is a lot of buzz between CMs when a celeb is in the park.
