Sorry no selfie sticks in here thank you!

No selfie sticks should not be allowed in Disneyland.

There should not be any selfie sticks allowed in Disneyland because  it can be dangerous and my cause injuries and people could end up in hospital. If we take the selfie stick with us on the roller coaster, we might fall or hurt ourselves. When we take our selfie stick with us, it might get stuck or jammed on the track that's connected to the roller coaster and may cause accidents to happen. 
    Bringing selfie sticks to Disneyland is not necessary because there are photo booths set up to take pictures of you and its safer to take pictures with your own camera. You should be having fun and enjoying your time at Disneyland instead of taking photos ll the time. You should not be taking out your selfie stick to take photos because you should be going on rides.
