My kids just got told no planking at DL? Since when??

Wow, really? - d!sn3yphan  309.2 #565 11:57AM
Dave is going to be heartbroken - VillainsFan  1213.1 #67 11:57AM
Maybe is was just a lame CM who loves to ruin all the fun. - MagicalCaprice  480.6 #248 12:00PM
Wow... - ekwhite  463.3 #263 12:01PM
What were they trying to plank? - PrincessCarmen  2579.5 #21 12:01PM
Really? Where did they try to plank at? - OCdrumGuy  549.0 #203 12:03PM
Bummers - woody1  8.6 #7290 12:06PM
Ugh rules....haha - princessVanessa  382.5 #352 12:15PM
I'm really curious to know where they tried to plank at. - OCdrumGuy  549.0 #203 12:16PM
Thats crazy!! - Briana  225.7 #1293 12:18PM
Hmmmmmm - mcarthy6  426.5 #298 12:19PM
@MagicalCaprice or maybe just one of those CM who doesn't want to see kids get hurt... - Sam241  475.6 #254 12:21PM
^I agree with Sam - OCdrumGuy  549.0 #203 12:23PM
We will continue to plank untill we are board stiff. - PinTrader  262.7 #890 12:24PM
That's a bummer. I guess it was a matter of time before something was said. I think its because of safety reason. - dcatowerofterrorguy2011  679.5 #151 12:37PM
Time to move on to owling or lamping. - sharkbait  423.3 #300 12:54PM
@startours1 that is REALLY unfair. I am sure there are A LOT of people not on MW that plank as well. - ythdudette  340.0 #432 12:55PM
I saw someone planking on BTMRR's FP machines yesterday and it the guy almost fell on his head. I'm almost positive the CM wasn't doing it to ruin the fun but because of safety reasons. Props to the CM for that. - bren12  37.7 #4072 1:00PM
What is planking?? - boodle  185.8 #1800 1:19PM
Kind of hard to inforce... - proudcanuck  476.4 #250 1:23PM
Some person or CM hit their breaking point. . Did they owl instead? - unclebeezy  230.0 #1240 1:24PM
From the very beginning it was not allowed. - 415beachgirl  469.0 #259 1:33PM
What is lamping?!! - matildamouse  196.4 #1677 1:35PM
It's time for "Horsemaning"  - veronica619  517.1 #225 1:38PM
@matildamouse- it's when you stand straight up while wearing a lampshade on your head. I've only seen it done once, but it looks awesome! - sharkbait  423.3 #300 1:45PM
Gotta love when these types of posts happen and everyone has questions and were left in limbo - Dave  8638.6 #2 1:47PM
@sharkbait- thanks! I knew planking and owling but lamping was a new one for me! - matildamouse  196.4 #1677 1:53PM
Eyeing.Doesnt involve much physical work. - Starr  549.9 #201 1:57PM
Eyeing.Doesnt involve much physical work. - Starr  549.9 #201 1:57PM
Wow not very cool of them to shoot that hot trend down. - jp04fam  24.6 #4691 1:59PM
Lamping? Hahaha. I prefer "benching". Sitting somewhere at the park with my back up against the wall so it looks like I'm sitting on an invisible bench. I do this when I'm tired and there's nowhere to sit lol!  - OCdrumGuy  549.0 #203 2:01PM
Unless it's the Strawberries daughter Violet or another child owling on their parents lap, I NEVER want to see anyone owling again! - SUUZinOC  715.3 #140 2:04PM
@OCdrumGuy- lol!!! - matildamouse  196.4 #1677 2:09PM
They wanted to plank next to lightning mcqueen and mater in dca. Would have been a great one too! - MissyluvsDisneyland  357.6 #396 4:53PM
It was Probaly the cm. - rafael11  192.1 #1724 4:56PM
No planking aloud since "the incident". - Tom  3849.6 #7 4:56PM
Planking can give you splinters - CaptnSparrow  559.6 #198 4:57PM
Which incident is that tom? - mcarthy6  426.5 #298 4:58PM
I'm sowwy!  I made it up. - Tom  3849.6 #7 5:01PM
*like* (Sorry, guys.) Wasn't me though. Lol. - disney42dude(CM)  521.7 #222 5:01PM
What incident, Tom? - OCdrumGuy  549.0 #203 5:05PM
Ya that's a bummer. The Genie does it in the show why can't we show some more spirit of planning?? - DisneyNerd3  19.5 #5103 5:41PM
Planking* - DisneyNerd3  19.5 #5103 5:57PM
top off that haterade will ya - toph  2398.6 #26 6:26PM
The man is keeping us down! - rob2240  350.5 #409 6:32PM
I say plank away! I personally find it amusing and don't understand why other people care. It's not hurting them. - luvmygreenarmyman  171.5 #1978 6:53PM
If planking is considered childish,then so be it :] After all, is Disneyland not a place where one channels their inner child? If someone is having fun and being safe and not hurting anyone,then I don't see a problem with it. - VivaHate88  154.0 #2242 8:28PM
Boo. The Plankers Union isn't going to like this. - MimiMouse  1015.6 #87 8:33PM
Plank only because they tell you not to. - normanandy  5.2 #10111 10:44PM
I'll take planking any day over owling! I don't want to get to get that intimate with most people! - jjdq  326.7 #490 10:48PM
Doing planks strengthens your core. :) - ima-pirateswife  432.3 #289 10:49PM
Wow, that stinks !! - kovac4  4.6 #11375 10:49PM
Wow. That's weird - CaliAdventure  210.4 #1484 10:59PM
Bummer - LoveLove  345.9 #420 10:59PM
que lastima - FaithTrustandPixieDust  11.2 #6411 11:06PM
What is owling? - jackie9448  31.6 #4298 1:05AM
@Jackie it's when you sit up as high as you can like an owl (someone correct me if I'm wrong lol) - OCdrumGuy  549.0 #203 1:07AM
Boo. Oh well. Owling is so much more classy looking, anyways. - acpowers13  148.8 #2309 1:07AM
@jackie Its a fancy type of squatting where you keep a straight face like a perched owl scanning the surroundings. Simple google search will provide better specifics and examples. - bleucheese7  18.9 #5170 1:07AM
Yeah Google it haha :) its like... strange squatting. - acpowers13  148.8 #2309 1:10AM
I was told by a CM that they (each department) got pictures of planking/owling, & they were told to stop it if they see it for safety. - prettyinpink  10.4 #6628 2:04AM
itz because that guy died planking on a building (not at disney) but since then we have 2 say sumthing. - shainabay  150.1 #2291 2:38AM
If you cannot say something nice, it's best u keep it to yourself. MW should be fun and positive. Negative people ruin the fun. - Ariel7texas  21.1 #4956 11:34AM
@shainabay thanks for the info. - Ariel7texas  21.1 #4956 11:47AM
Not being able to do it or the fact "some people" can't stand it, Gives it all the more reason to Plank!! Viva La Planking! I wanna see more! Now more then ever! lol! - ponyboy  22.7 #4838 11:55AM
Lol ponyboy!! - Ariel7texas  21.1 #4956 12:02PM
The kids couldn't plank in a photo with McQueen & Mater? I can see if they didn't want them to plank ON them, but don't see the harm next to them. People do all kinds of silly things during character meet n' greets. - MoonWillow  368.9 #375 12:05PM
@MoonWillow my son tried planking in front of McQueen. One CM was laughing and said it was fine but another one over ruled her and said planking wasn't allowed. - MissyluvsDisneyland  357.6 #396 12:20PM
Disney takes the safety of the guest serious. If they said no planking , it's not because they were being uncool or killing the fun, it's because they want everyone to have a fun and safe day. Planking is funny yes, but when and if it puts someone's safety ask risk, it's not worth it. - PlaidCM  186.4 #1795 12:44PM
If you want to lay down go to your hotel room and don't disrespect the great that is Disney - puddy77  83.7 #3228 12:48PM
So true plaidcm. Safety is number one at DL. - Polkadobo  372.1 #371 12:51PM
I agree, no planking - RmzTinker  156.7 #2197 12:53PM
Wow startours1 sounds super bitter about planking. I agree with @ponyboy viva la planking!!!! Bring it my wonderful planking friends! (safely of course ) - KissDclown  1088.1 #77 1:10PM
I agree as long as it done safely I don't mind. I think it's all in good fun, last plank I saw was at ariels grotto at the window 3 little kids planked on top of eachother, they were having fun so no complaints from me. - chris.  2507.3 #24 2:41PM
It's their job to keep them safe - Darla  22.2 #4869 2:43PM
Why would you do something that could potentially put ur AP at risk? If a CM as asked you not do do something, there is a reason. If you love and respect Disneyland as I assume most on here do, why disrespect the CMs and the park? - PlaidCM  186.4 #1795 3:14PM
@Missyluvs... That's a bummer! It does sound funny and harmless. Maybe the other CM's interpretation of safety is just eliminating it altogether. That's too bad when something has to be eliminated because people can't be trusted to use common sense. - MoonWillow  368.9 #375 3:43PM
Disney probably just doesn't like people climbing and laying on stuff. People can get hurt, plus things can get ruined. I tried sitting on those rocks at the entrance to Tomorrowland for a pic, and I got yelled at. Even if they suck, rules are rules - Kari_Bo_Berry  361.5 #386 3:45PM
