Unless you want to carry a tripod around and use the camera's timer, the only other way to get photos of you and your loved ones all together would be to pay Disney's absurd prices for them. This may be what's behind the banning of these sticks more than anything else.

I have never had a problem asking someone taking a picture of us. Disney isn't running around the park taking family pictures so they sure aren't going to lose money on photos. The selfie stick can be a danger, especially on rides.
