Selfie Sticks to be banned at Walt Disney World

Effective June 30, 2015, leave those selfie sticks at home as they will not be welcome at Walt Disney World.

Disney will be adding the selfie stick to the list of prohibited items not allowed into its theme parks. The ban will extend the policy that is currently in place of not allowing the selfie sticks on rides.

All four of the Walt Disney World theme parks will be part of the new policy, as well as the water parks and DisneyQuest at Downtown Disney.

If you try to enter security with your selfie stick you will have two choices; take it back to your car and return without it or Guest Relations will be more than happy to store it for you so you may retrieve it at the end of the day. They will issue you a claim ticket so you don't lose this worthless piece of junk.

Other Disney Parks will adopt this policy on July 1, 2015.

According to WDW News Today, we will likely see smaller, flat-rides developed for Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Resort in Paris and Toy Story Land at Hong Kong Disneyland including RC Racer, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, and the Toy Soldier Parachute Drop. Attractions in this area don't take us much real estate as these rides would require, so WDW News Today specula

The Art of Topiary Gardening from Walt Disney World Resort

Topiary gardening, the art of fashioning living plan into ornamental shapes, has been practiced for centuries. Found throughout the gardens of the Walt Disney World Resort are hundreds of topiary figures, ranging from traditional hedges and sheared trees to fanciful shapes and a whole menagerie of "chlorophyll" Disney characters. Types of Topiary Four different types of topiary at the Walt Disney World resort have developed out of our desire to put on an award-winning horticultural show. Free-form topiary and standard form topiary require your imagination and some sharp shears - the other two utilize a frame specially suited to their needs. A lightweight frame is used for shrub topiary, while sphagnum topiary require a much stronger frame specially designed to support the weight of the figure. Standard Form Topiary The world standard is used to describe a plant that is grown to a designated height and then encouraged to bush or form a "head" at t
