Are they doing this only at the main entrance or also at the entrances near the Hotels/Lake Disney?

I assume only at the main entrance.

It was like this every evening last week. It was only at the main entrance, not at the side to the hotels. They seemed not much interested in families with kids though.

My experience with luggage checks (not just at DLP, but everywhere) is that they never check me when I have my crutches with me, but when I walk normal they do. Positive discrimination... :roll:

Is this the kind of real security check or the "hey, you stole some crackers from your hotel's breakfast!" kind of thing?

And, if the former... why? I mean, is there a real threat or they do it just for prevention? Not that I'm afraid, but just in case...

Yes I remember those, the most pointless attempt at security I have ever known, waste everyone's time at one end and leave the other completely open. Hope they don't carry on for too long.

What is the point, really ? If , god forbid, someone decided to plant a bomb in one of the hotels at DLP, what's to stop them from walking into the Disney Hotel and Boom !!!
If they're gonna do security checks, they should do them properlly. It really is a Luke Skywalker-lift-the-xwing-kinda-deal, "No. Do or do not, there is no try"
