Are selfie sticks allowed at Disneyland?

I'm glad you are thinking ahead to make sure everything is “practically perfect in every way” before you travel to The Happiest Place on Earth. According to the Disneyland Resort property rules, selfie sticks and handheld extension poles for cameras and phones are not allowed.



No, selfie sticks are strictly prohibited at all Disney theme parks worldwide, including Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World in Florida. This ban, which has been in place for nearly a decade and remains strictly enforced in 2026, covers all "hand-held extension poles for cameras or mobile devices." The primary reason for the ban is safety; guests were frequently extending these poles on moving rides, which could strike ride machinery or other passengers. Additionally, they often obstructed the views of other guests during parades and fireworks shows. When you go through the security screening (which now uses advanced "Evolv" scanners), any selfie stick found will be confiscated. You will either be asked to return it to your vehicle or hotel, or security may offer to hold it for you at a "Guest Storage" locker outside the park. Note that small, non-extending "hand grips" for GoPro cameras are usually permitted, as long as they do not extend beyond a few inches.
