Disney is the latest visitor attraction to put a ban on the selfie stick, citing safety concerns for guests and staff over the extendable arms.

Joining a growing list of attractions that have outlawed the camera accessory, the selfie stick is now banned from Walt Disney World in Orlando and Florida, Disneyland California, and at Disney’s parks in Hong Kong and Paris.

"We strive to provide a great experience for the entire family," said Disney spokesperson Kim Prunty. "Unfortunately selfie sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast."

Disney had previously allowed the devices in the parks but not on the rides. According to the theme park, visitors were violating the rules, forcing staff to stop rides for extended periods of time.

If guests arrive with selfie sticks, staff members at Disney parks will ask them to stow them at a storage facility or return the sticks to their hotels or cars, according to the representative.
