A lot of people don't know that there are many restrictions on what can enter the parks.

The problem with this is that many tourists end up taking things that are not allowed in the parks.

With that, they end up having to abandon some belongings, such as selfie stick.

We receive questions daily such as:

  • Can you take food to Sea World?
  • Can you get food at Disney?
  • Can you take food at Busch Gardens?

If your question is within this line, here you will find some answers =)

Even often the disallowed objects are not obvious at all.

Therefore, we will list below all the items that are not allowed.

So you won't have unforeseen circumstances when entering any of the Orlando parks.


What is not allowed to enter the Disney parks:

Skates, scooters, and rolling shoes: Although they are the darlings of children, devices with less than 3 wheels are prohibited, mainly to avoid accidents inside the parks. 
Very large backpacks, suitcases and coolers: You will be prevented from entering the Disney parks if you are carrying accessories like these measuring over 61 cm long x 38 cm wide x 46 cm high.
Filming: It is also not allowed to film inside a toy or use flash indoors and in the dark. Therefore, leave to record images only in open places. 
Tripod and selfie stick: You can even take a tripod to take better pictures, but if the equipment is too big you will have problems. Ideally, the tripod can be carried inside a traditional backpack. Oh, and the selfie stick is now banned at Disney too.
baby strollers big ones: In order not to have any problems, it is important to know that the stroller cannot be larger than 92cm x 132cm. Otherwise, you will be prevented from entering the parks. 
Drones and remote control toys: Another accessory that is prohibited inside the Disney parks is the camera drone, which captures aerial and long-range images. Remote control carts and helicopters cannot be used either. 
Alcoholic Beverages and Illegal Substances.

Snacks and snacks are free, but why take it if you can enjoy some wonderful Disney food without spending too much?

In this post here (How to Eat Cheap at Disney) we give you several tips for you to ensure an excellent food that fits in your pocket.

Avoid taking to the parks:


- Umbrella. It will take up a lot of space in your backpack, so take raincoats to replace it, which are easy to find anywhere. Walmart.
– Very large water bottles. You don't have to worry about taking a lot of water, just take a small bottle per person, because at any restaurant inside the parks you can ask for a free glass of water (cup of water) and fill your bottle as you go. the day goes by.
– Very large backpacks, try to carry as few things as possible so as not to carry too much weight.

We advise you to take


We parks Where They are allowed food, we advise you to bring small sandwiches and cookies to keep you hungry during the day. Shop at markets like Walmart or Dollar Tree.

It is worth mentioning that there is an inspection before entering ALL the parks and even if you have any friends or acquaintances who may have managed to enter with a selfie stick for example, we recommend that you do not take any chances.

What happens when an item not allowed in parks is found in the inspection is that the inspector will ask you to remove it and sometimes you will be forced to dispose of the object.

Yes, it is possible to leave it in storage and pick it up again at the exit of the park, but think about the precious minutes you will lose by taking an object that is not allowed. Trust me, it's not worth the risk.

What's more, if you happen to be able to get in with some object that is not allowed and is caught inside the park using it in some way, they can even remove you from the park (these are rare cases, as we believe that in most cases this is simply due to lack of information). But don't take any chances, follow the rules of each park and have fun without any loss or setback on your trip!
