Have you ever had to turn around and take the walk of shame back to the Disney World parking lot because you accidentally packed a BANNED item? We have…and we don’t want you to have to go through that on your Disney trip. So, we’re here to help!
Magic Kingdom
Today we’re sharing some of the common items that you shouldn’t pack and alternatives to bring instead!
What are some commonly packed items that are actually banned from Disney World? Well, to start, we’ve got to mention selfie sticks! These are on the list of items you’re not allowed to bring into the parks, likely because their additional length would be unsafe for people to use on rides and attractions.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Also banned from the parks? Wagons! You’re not allowed to bring a wagon-style stroller to the parks, or a stroller that is larger than 31″ (79 cm) in width and 52″ (132 cm) in length.
Strollers in EPCOT
Also, folding chairs and pop-up stools are not allowed in the parks. Unfortunately, this means you’ll have to stand in lines instead of taking a seat when your legs get tired. If you bring those compact stools to the parks, you won’t be allowed to bring them inside.
Gotta wait in line, no stools allowed!
Other random items you might be surprised are on the no-no list are flags and banners, pool noodles at the water parks, balloons and plastic straws at Animal Kingdom, and horns, whistles, or megaphones.

Hoping to take good group pictures but you can’t bring the selfie stick? Snag this OCTOBUDDY Classic as an alternative! It easily sticks to walls or poles, as well as the back of your phone, so you can take those perfectly posed pics.

If you need the extra stroller capacity, go for the Jeep Destination Ultralite Side x Side Double Stroller. It has a compact fold, and it’s easy to carry, so you can take it on and off of Disney transportation easily. Also, it’s under $300, so it’s a great deal as far as larger strollers go!
