A Very Nice Doctor I work with came up to me today and was disappointed last weekend as he tried to bring in a camera with a 5 and a half inch (not extended) lens to take pictures of the fireworks and was told he couldn't bring it in.
He was wondering if there was a written policy to describe what equipment was allowed and what was not, so I said I'd ask the CMs here. Does anyone know where that policy could be found to help my Doctor know what is ok?
Thanks! :)

From MiceAge.
Disneyland Resort enforcing stricter rules in regards to bringing in "professional" cameras.
Due to some issues with Paparazzi on September 25th, when Lindsay Lohen and her girlfriend showed up at Disneyland, Disney Security and Bag Checkers are trying to prevent a similar event from happening in the future.
The current policy is that you cannot bring in "long lenses", which seems to be lenses longer than 6 inches in length into the parks. Of course, it is a new policy, and can be adjusted at any time, but I was stopped and asked multiple times at bag check this week if I had any "long lenses" for my camera. So plan accordingly.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

Re: The New Camera Policy
My 75-300 sucks, so it is staying home this trip. I'll bring in my 50mm and my 28-135. I may also stick the speedlight in the backpack as well. I can understand their stance, but I can also think it sucks. I was debating renting a 70-200 f/2.8L IS. I guess I won't now...

Re: The New Camera Policy
Yes, I told him I had heard about the 6 inch policy, but apparently they didn't let him bring in a shorter one, even though he was not asked to extend the lens out.
He just wants something in writing to guide him next time.
