If you’re a Disney Adult, like me, you have been to the Disney parks a bunch, but did you know you could be breaking this rule at Magic Kingdom?

We need to have a talk, Disney Adults. Some of ya’ll aren’t following the rules, and it shows. We are in the parks every day, and we are seeing this a LOT at Magic Kingdom. Do you need to change your habits, or are you following all the rules? Let’s break down what the rules are below!



Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

When it comes to rules for Disney Adults, there are some unwritten and some very much etched in the Disney Parks rulebooks. For this one, we’re going over the latter.

Don’t Dress Up in Costumes​


Unless you’re attending a Disney event that explicitly states you can dress up in a costume, don’t.

According to the official Disney World rules, “Costumes may not be worn in our theme parks, water parks or ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex by Guests ages 14 or older. Masks may not be worn by any Guests ages 14 or older (unless required for medical purposes). When worn by younger Guests, masks may not cover the entire face and must provide unobstructed peripheral vision at all times with openings that allow the eyes to be fully seen.”

Disney Adults have found a workaround with DisneyBounding, which is a way of tailoring your outfit to look like a Disney character without actually being a costume.

DisneyBounding is a great middle ground, but when trying to look like a princess, really make sure you don’t blur the line between looking like a guest and an actual Disney princess. At Magic Kingdom, where kids especially expect to meet Disney royalty, this rule is one you should definitely follow.

Don’t Smoke in the Park​


While Magic Kingdom does have designated smoking areas, SMOKING IN SMOKE-FREE AREAS COULD LEAD TO SEVERE PUNISHMENT.


Smoking area


Per Disney World, “Smoking marijuana or other illegal substances is not permitted at any time. For the comfort of all Guests, Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks, and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex are smoke free. The smoking of tobacco, e-cigarettes or other products that produce a vapor or smoke is allowed only in designated outdoor smoking areas.” Magic Kingdom’s smoking area is located outside the entrance on the pathway to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

Don’t Obstruct Walkways​


We often talk about how people obstructing walkways and entrances is a pet peeve of ours, but did you know that doing so actually violates Disney World rules?

Magic Kingdom


The Disney World rules state that “obstructing sidewalks, entrances, driveways, patios, vestibules, stairways, corridors, halls or landingsis strictly prohibited.


Tomorrowland Crowds


As Disney Adults, we totally get wanting to take your time and really soak in all the sights and sounds Magic Kingdom has to offer. Just be mindful of other guests and do not block any paths in the process.
