Packing for Disney World can feel like a Herculean task, with lists piling up for every family member—swimsuits, pajamas, Mickey ears, and more. Let's simplify things a bit by highlighting six items you should definitely leave behind for a smoother experience.
These popular gadgets are banned at Disney World. To get that perfect family shot, use a small tripod or rely on Disney's PhotoPass Cast Members, who can take photos with their cameras or your phone.
While you can bring them, be sure to use them only in designated smoking areas, not within the park itself.
Balloons aren't permitted due to the safety of the animals. If needed, you can check them at Guest Relations and pick them up later.
Be eco-conscious and reassess those plastic straws before entering. Animal Kingdom promotes using paper or reusable alternatives.
Avoid bringing plastic toy weapons. Disney sells foam swords, but anything more realistic will be turned away. Lightsabers are fine, though!
Restrict your cosplay dreams to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party. Otherwise, steer clear of costumes to avoid needing those precious fan breaks from the Florida heat.
