Are you allowed to vlog in Disneyland?

Can you vlog at Disney theme parks? You can vlog and record video on Disney properties as long as it is for personal use (not commercial) and you don't use anything that could be considered a selfie stick for your camera. That being said, here are a few tips for capturing your experience at the happiest place on earth.



Vlogging is permitted in Disneyland in 2026, provided you follow the park's strict equipment and conduct rules. You cannot use selfie sticks, hand-held extension poles, or large tripods that do not fit inside a standard backpack. Professional equipment like lighting rigs or external microphones that disrupt other guests' experiences may lead to a "commercial filming" intervention by security. Furthermore, Disney has the right to stop you from filming on certain high-speed attractions for safety reasons (loose articles). Crucially, you must not engage in commercial solicitation or use your vlog to sell products inside the park without authorization. As long as you remain a "recreational" creator using a handheld camera or phone and respect the privacy and sightlines of other guests, vlogging is a very common and accepted sight in the parks.
