No problem at all. It will be hot as hell. I went last year and it was terrible because of summer rush and huge lines. I felt that maybe because I usually like quiet vacation spots but again with little kids, you can't have everything. Good location but weather is like india and more ppl from other countries fill that place up.

Thanks. Do they make you go through body scanners and use metal detection wands? Just worried about kirpan of course...

They do have security check station where they look into your bags etc. I wear very small kirpan but always underneath. We went in with no problem. I also know a Singh who visits from Canada almost every year and he says it’s no issue.

I went to Disneyland in California last year, and we were not allowed to wear Kirpans inside. They had metal detectors and would not allow Kirpans inside under any circumstances, religious or not. I think you should personally call their security department and get additional information or perhaps pre-approval, and also you may have to look at wearing small Kirpans.

No, you wiil not be allowed to take in kirpan.  Metal detectors that you have to walk thru like airport security. before you go thru turnstiles.

@S1ngh is referring to the turnstiles where you have the bag check. This used to be main point of entry before the scanners came in few years ago. If it asks you to declare any items that may be considered dangerous, and it will have posters with pictures, then you must declare. Don't try and "conceal" to sneak it in.   The police dept will come down heavy if there is any issue and you will spend the night in a cell until released by legal representative.

Then don't forget Universal park, they've had the same levels of security for many years.

I don't remember going thru metal detector when i was there last year. However, family of ours went in with sri sahibs and same with disney land and universal studios many time. I guess it is more like hit and miss thing.

Thanks for this information. It seems too risky. Its a big cost from UK and could be huge disappointment for children if turned away. Sad times when arguably the most peace loving way of life is turned away for the fear of mindless violence.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
