Hi,
I am taking a very expensive vacation to Walt Disney World for 2 weeks, after a period of no vacation for 10 years....thus, this vacation has been long awaited and safed for. Naturally, I would hate to cancel it, but in lieu of the recent heightened terror alert I am concerned about security at the actual Walt Disney resorts...I hear lots of information concerning increased security in the park themselves...but what about the resorts??? For instance, at a bare minimum, are they checking guest luggage who are checking in??? Does anybody know?? Please advise asap, as I am due to leave in less than 2 weeks and must decide whether or not to cancel my trip, much to my and my daughter's chagrin.
