So this post is going to drive MAPO up a wall, but whatever.
Recently I finally figured out how to spot the Disney security plain clothes officers. Simple formula:
Near the bag check.
Leaning on a rail.
Large.
By themselves.
AND
Wearing bright orange Hawaiian pants.
I think there must be a competition to see who can pull off the tacky tourist stereotype the best. (worst?)

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

Re: Spot the PCO
Some of the ones at DAK do pretty good, though I did see one this morning right near the guard manning the no bag entrance. Where and how he was standing gave away the fact he wasn't just a tourist.kurtisnelson wrote:So this post is going to drive MAPO up a wall, but whatever.

Some of them do a good job blending in and looking like they are waiting on someone to a casual observer, others stick out like a sore thumb (the radio earpiece doesn't help either, though some do wear discrete ones). When I enter the parks I play "spot the PCO" and rarely have a hard time doing so. Heck, one time a while back I saw one with an orange Nextel on their belt. I've never seen an orange Nextel used by anybody but security.
Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…

The ones at MK main entrance do a good job of looking like someone who crawled out of a cardboard box and fell asleep on the planter between the turnstiles.Shorty82 wrote:Some of the ones at DAK do pretty good, though I did see one this morning right near the guard manning the no bag entrance.

Hobie, I think I saw those pants today.

I don't understand why anyone would think someone wearing these pants was in security.kurtisnelson wrote:Hobie, I think I saw those pants today.
