When visiting a Disney Park, it is important to note what items you are not allowed to bring. Some items are a little more obvious than others, like firearms, fireworks, glass bottles, and alcohol. Others might not be as well known to some visitors, like stroller wagons, folding chairs, and selfie sticks. If you do try to bring prohibited items into the Park, Disney security will inform you that you must either bring the item back to your car or throw it in one of the many garbage bins in the area.
One Guest visited the Disneyland Resort recently and had some trouble when it came to an item she wanted to bring in. According to the Guest, she has a booster seat for her young child, that can also double as a diaper bag. One day, security allowed her to bring the bag into the Parks with her. She went back to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure the next day, and Security told her that she would need to either bring the bag back to her car or throw the diaper bag away.
The Guest took to Reddit to share her story and to see if anyone else had experienced trouble with security not being consistent on their Disneyland Resort visits.
One person asked which answer — diaper bag or booster — should be used to get into the Park. The original poster commented that she was told that, when it comes to certain items being let in, it will be left up to the discretion of Cast Members. That is what led to the poster getting two different answers when she tried to bring it into the Parks on different days.
Redditor hotpinkmua said that it was the first security guard who let the Guest in with the chair was the one who had screwed up. Disney does not allow folding chairs and, even though it is a booster seat, it is counted as a folding chair. According to the Redditor, the first security guard should not have let her into the Park with it the first time.
Another Guest suggested a simple solution if the Guest wanted to take the bag in — go to another security entrance and don’t mention that the bag contains a booster seat, simply say it is a diaper bag.
When visiting Disneyland Resort, there are three security checkpoints for Guests to choose from. There is one security checkpoint at the Mickey & Friends and Pixar parking structures, one at the entrance to Downtown Disney. There is a final security checkpoint on the other side of the esplanade, where the busses drop Guests off who have come from the Toy Story parking lot.
Before you decide to visit any Disney Park, it is important to visit that Park’s website. The website will have all of the information you need, including Park hours, ride closures, health and safety protocols, and a list of prohibited items. Knowing all of this information in advance only serves to help you have the most magical time on your Disney vacation.
