Devices should be single rider and not exceed 36 (92 cm) in width and 52 (132 cm) in length. Suitcases, bags, coolers or backpacks, with or without wheels, larger than 24 long x 15 wide x 18 high (61 cm x 38 cm x 46 cm) are not allowed in any theme park.

Yes, backpacks are perfectly acceptable at Disneyland Resort in 2026, provided they meet specific size and safety requirements. All bags, including backpacks, must not exceed 24 inches long x 15 inches wide x 18 inches high. Every backpack is subject to a security screening, which in 2026 often uses advanced "Evolv" scanners that allow you to walk through without removing items, though security officers may still perform a manual check if something is flagged. You are allowed to bring your backpack on almost every attraction; most rides have a small mesh pocket or floor space where you can secure your bag between your feet. For high-intensity rides like Incredicoaster or Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Cast Members will ensure your bag is tucked away safely. If you have a particularly large or heavy backpack, Disneyland offers locker rentals near the main entrances of both parks, which is a great option for storing extra layers or souvenirs while you enjoy the day.
