When it comes to Walt Disney World Resort, some of the biggest priorities are performance, experience, upholding Disney magic and immersion, and, most important of all: safety.
This is why there are so many security measures involved when visiting Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, and even Disney Springs.
