The so-called world’s happiest places are…..well, not so happy if you try to bring one of these 15 banned items into the parks. Not to worry though. You probably wouldn’t bring in grandma’s ashes to spread around the park. Would you?
What is prohibited to bring into Disney? Here’s a look at the park’s rules:
To make the theme parks a fun and safe experience for its parkgoers, officials remind guests online that they will have to go through security and have any bags and strollers searched before entering the park.
Firearms, ammunition, knives and weapons are prohibited
Alcoholic beverages are not allowed to be brought into the theme parks. Though some of the theme parks at Walt Disney World do sell alcohol.
Marijuana or vapes are banned from Disney World, Disneyland
Selfie sticks and hand-held extension poles for cameras are banned at all Disney World theme parks and water parks. Monopods and tripods that don’t fit in a standard backpack or extend over 6 feet aren’t allowed either.
Costumes on older teens and adults. Guests under 14 are welcome to dress up as their favorite Disney characters all year round, but older guests may only wear costumes during Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
Horns, whistles, large megaphones, or artificial noisemakers
Theme parks, in general, are already loud and chaotic, so why amplify the noise? Disney’s website notes that these noisemakers will not be allowed in the parks.
Recreational devices such as drones, remote-controlled toys, skateboards, scooters, inline skates, or shoes with built-in wheels are not allowed. Bicycles are permitted only in designated Disney Resort areas.
Personal strollers larger than 31 inches in width and 52 inches in length aren’t allowed, nor are stroller wagons. The exception to the wagon rule is for guests with medical needs.
Suitcases, bags, coolers, or backpacks, with or without wheels, larger than 24″ long x 15″ wide x 18″ high are not allowed in any theme park or water park.
