      It is a joke. They hardly check bags anyways, they normally look in my purse and let me on my way. My purse is jampacked full of stuff and they don't even bother to sift through it. I don't see the point.

        I saw it Friday night and failed to mention it, sorry MiceChatters. I also went Saturday evening about the same time and it wasn't there. I loved it and hope it stays.

        The other thing I saw on Friday is that the Buzz Lightyear fastpass is gone. Anyone else post this?

          It's still there, but they're closed due to the repaving going on near there.

            They are not implementing a top security checkpoint, like at an airport or high level office. What they are accomplishing is creating a presents of security to deter wrongdoers from trying to complete their act of danger. They have more security around the checkpoints and inside the parks for at-the-scene response, including plain-clothes peace officers, and yes they are carrying firearms.

            There are many levels of security and they all providing a safe environment. Just because they are not at the top most level of security doesn't mean they are not accomplishing anything.

              That's what I want. All I ever have to bring is my camera bag, which includes my camera, my wallet, and occasionally my phone (only if I'm wearing a skirt without pockets), so standing in that long line for that gets annoying.

                On any given day there are probably as much, if not MORE APers in the parks than regular visitors. It wouldn't be shorter, in fact, it would probably be more of an added benefit for Non-APers.

                I REALLY hope this sticks around since most other parks (including WDW) have had no-bags lines for quite awhile.

                    Oooh, yeah I saw that today. I thought to myself 'wow this is awesome, I wish they had this back when I DIDN'T always carry a bag around'. Ah oh well, lol, i'm still glad they have it.

                      not that I am skeptical, but I think that the bagless security line(s) should include a metal detector. i mean really, whats to protect us normal, law abiding citizens from the nuts and whackos (and terrorists) from bringing in a pipe bomb or worse with them?????????????

                        The current baggage check isn't a top security checkpoint. Resort security, armed plain-clothes peace officers and uniformed officers are doing their job enforcing the laws and providing a safe environment throughout the property. The baggage check is just an addition level of security as we are still in the Elevated Risk of attack.

                        I would understand if this was an environment where law enforcement may not be present, such as some international flights or cruises over international waters, that it be important for the highest level of security checks. However, the Disneyland Resort maintains a constant level of security and law enforcement within the checkpoints and throughout the property.

                          As a friend of mine said, they feel safer at Magic Mountain than at Disneyland.

                            Do you honestly think the DL bag check will prevent people from getting explosives into the park?

                              The point is it is a joke, and to many it is merely a waste of time. Similar to the baggage check at Knott's... at least SFMM has metal detectors. The truth is you have more security at an LA Unified High School then you do at Disneyland which is an international tourist destination. Don't get me wrong, I'm not wishing for tighter restrictions. But the checkpoint is an illusion of security, meant to make everyone feel better, aside from that it serves very little practical purpose.
