Hello there Irene,
Welcome back to planDisney! It’ll be my pleasure to guide you on this question regarding capturing your memories aboard some of your favorite attractions. While chest harnesses are not on the
prohibited items list, some selfie sticks and handheld extension poles for cameras are prohibited. You should be allowed to wear the chest harness, but it is always up to the discretion of security. If you are wearing it, you can always show the cast member and ask if it’s OK to film with it, the Cast Member should be able to determine if it is secure enough for that particular attraction. The only reason you would be asked to remove it, is to make ensure the safety of the all guests. Always trust the Cast Members as they have seen pretty much everything.
As a local Floridian, you know that summer is starting to kick in just as May hits. And you know what they say about May, it brings flowers from the April showers. And
EPCOT will be hosting the
International Flower and Garden Festival just like it has for the past 30 years. Yes, that’s right for 30 years EPCOT has been decorating with the finest foliage and fantastic flower displays around. This year the Disney inspired topiaries will be wonderful as always, but there will be some new characters joining in on the fun. Disney will be celebrating this 30 years all throughout the festival and you will want to keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for all of the announcements. You can already see who is performing during the
Garden Rocks Concert Series. During your visit, there will be new performers added to the list, May 11 and 12th Maverick City Music will be gracing the America Gardens Theater stage. So if you will be visiting, be sure to check the performance schedule if these musicians are a must see. If you would like a good seat, you normally would like to check out the area about an hour before to see what the line looks like. You can grab something to eat right across the way at
Regal Eagle Smokehouse and hop right in line afterwards.
I hope this information helps you understand what is prohibited and how the Cast Members are excellent at ensuring guests safety at all times. If you are looking for any other planning tips, see you right back here again at

Have a magical day,
Jeremy A.
