Disney will ban selfie sticks at its theme parks from July the 1st. Universal Studios and many museums also ban them. Disney said the sticks were dangerous. Disney said it wants families to have fun, but the selfie sticks have become a growing safety concern for guests and staff.

Selfie sticks are now very popular. However, many people are getting angry. A passenger used a selfie stick on a Disney rollercoaster and the ride closed down for nearly an hour. The PC World magazine said: "Maybe you should…use the selfie sticks that we're all born with - your arms."
