My family enjoyed our traditional Disneyland Lunch Picnic. Although, our little picnic was greeted by a new queue of portable security fencing. There was a security CM posted on the picnic area side of the new queue.

I asked what the story was with the new queue and was told that they had taken down the security fence at the tram entrance to the picnic area. The new queue with security CM was designed not to check bags but redirect anyone who was trying to enter the "secure" area beyond the new queue to the security check points.

They were only allowing people without bags to go through the new queue for trips to the bathrooms, ATMs, etc. This forced our group armed with many a cooler to go back through the normal security check point so that we could take our stuff back to the lockers and have our bags reinspected.

The CM did state that they are only testing this new queue idea. Her hope was that the security check point would be moved back to include the area in front of the lockers next to the restroom.

So if you are planning a picnic in the near future, be forewarned. And use the lockers inside the picnic area!
