You’d be surprised what people try to bring. Disney’s list of prohibited items reads like a weird yard sale: no selfie sticks, no tripods, no large strollers, and absolutely no weapons (obviously). But the real gotcha? No loose ice. Yes, you can bring a cooler, but it must be packed with reusable ice packs. Loose ice is a no-go because it melts into a puddle of liability. Another classic mistake: bringing a suitcase-style backpack with straps that are too bulky. It might fit the size limit, but if it’s overstuffed, security will ask you to open it and risk a full pat-down. Save yourself the awkward fumble.
Also, leave the costume masks at home unless you’re under 14. Disney wants kids to feel magical, not like they’re at a horror convention. And for the love of Mickey, don’t bring a drone. Yes, that’s a thing. People have tried. It didn’t end well.
