Are bags allowed in Disney Springs?

Bags are allowed in Disney Springs, but with 100 shops and 62 dining establishments, you won't want to be dragging your things around.



Yes, bags are fully allowed in Disney Springs in 2026, including backpacks, purses, and shopping bags. However, every guest entering the district must pass through a security screening, which typically involves walking through advanced metal detectors or "Evolv" scanners. If these scanners flag an item, a security officer will perform a manual bag check. There are no strict size limits for standard shopping or personal bags in Disney Springs, unlike the theme parks which prohibit bags larger than 24" long x 15" wide x 18" high. However, suitcases and large duffels are generally discouraged as there is no luggage storage or "holding" area in the district. Prohibited items include weapons, alcohol, and illegal substances. You are welcome to carry bags containing your purchases from the various stores, but you should always keep them with you, as unattended bags will be immediately investigated by security.
