food IS a theme park
Disney World never stops changing, and sometimes that means we’ve got to get used to some new rules.
Magic Kingdom
Whether it’s park policies, dining restrictions, or transportation schedules, Disney is always tweaking the way things work. If you’re planning a trip in 2025, there are a few curfews you’ll want to be aware of so you don’t get caught off guard. Let’s break down three big ones you should keep in mind before heading to the parks.
When you travel to any theme park, there are rules that need to be followed to keep everyone safe.
Animal Kingdom
Disney World is no different! However, since Disney has a variety of different experiences that other smaller theme parks don’t have, that means there are more rules to follow. If you’re heading to Disney World for the first time in 2025 or you haven’t been in a while, these are three rules you have to know Disney is REALLY enforcing right now.
When you go to a theme park like Disney World, you’re likely already expecting there to be rules to follow.
EPCOT
For example — no running, no horseplay, no vulgar words or disrespect towards other guests or the workers at the park — these are all the rules you expect, but Disney World parks come with a few additional rules that may have you giving them a second glance. EPCOT, in particular, has a few rules you’ll definitely want to know about before you plan to spend a whole day there!
Disney World can have very odd rules.
Pandora
From balloons not being allowed inside of one of their parks, to the act of scattering ashes being banned (trust us, this is an actual rule due to it happening countless times), there are a ton of rules on the property that make you think “Well, that’s strangely specific.”
No two Disney World trips are the same. Whether the changes are big or small, the parks have come a long way since Magic Kingdom first opened over 50 years ago.
Magic Kingdom is about to get bigger
When Walt Disney dreamt up Disneyland and later Disney World, he had a very specific vision of what he wanted them to look like — and the easiest way to bring his vision to life was by implementing very specific rules to match. Over the years, those rules have been relaxed a bit and we’re taking a look at some of them.
Most rules in Disney World are quite obvious, as they’re common sense, or the same rules you see at different theme parks around the world.
EPCOT
This includes things like no altercations with other guests or Cast Members, no jumping out of ride vehicles when you’’re ON the ride, and more simple things like no smoking, stealing, or wearing clothes that don’t cover the parts of you they should. But what happens if someone refuses to follow these rules?
