High prices, rude service.
I was at the Park in August from 5-9. I was on a vacation with my wife her two brothers and my in laws. We were having a great time, it was magical and a lot of fun. We were so excited I had convinced my wife we need to upgrade to the annual pass and we should come back. After the following incidents my wife and I didn’t get to enjoy our stay, and she said no to getting an annual pass. I really wanted it, this would of came handy because I really wanted to return back for Halloween and Christmas time.
I had a issue that keeps on upsetting me about how a security treated my wife and me. On August 7th in the morning we had a incident where we didn’t know we couldn’t bring a selfie stick. The selfie stick we had was not a cheap one. Once we got too security, they said we would have to take it back to the hotel or they will dispose it. The problem was the hotel was far away and we would loose valuable time away from Disneyland, and the device was not cheap. The security was very rude and not polite. I totally felt like I was being racially profiled. They would not allow us to store it in a locker and insisted we were going to use it. We ended up having it get disposed, because we didn’t want to loose out on precious time in the park and my wifes brother was waiting for us inside the California park. It as very difficult knowing I just lost out on this device and how much I spent on it. The reason I brought the selfie stick was because I’ve seen folks use it on the days prior. We also saw after the incident that there were Caucasian familys using them and the security said nothing.
Also I want to say is my father n law whom is a Sikh man and wears a turban and as we entered and exited the park we really noticed that security would come close to us and stare at us or bring the dogs near us. This too me was clearly that we were getting racially profiled.
This was my third time I had visited and the first 2 times were amazing time. I was expecting it to be the same but did not expect this. I would of thought Disney would take care of the folks coming to the park, they’ve spent a lot of money coming and spend a lot of money at the park. I hope one day my wife and I can over come this and maybe one day we can come back and experience Disney for Halloween and Christmas. But I think it will take a long time.
