Can you bring a purse into Epcot?

Guests are welcome to carry a bag or backpack with them into the theme parks. The maximum allowable bag size is 24 by 18 by 15. All Guests and their bags will undergo a security screening process prior to entering the theme parks and Disney Springs.



Yes, you are absolutely allowed to bring a purse into Epcot, but it must adhere to Walt Disney World's property rules. As of 2026, all bags, including purses, backpacks, and diaper bags, are subject to security screening upon entry. Most guests now pass through advanced contactless scanners (like the Evolv system), which allow you to walk through without emptying your bag unless a prohibited item is detected. The primary restriction is size: bags must not exceed 24 inches long x 15 inches wide x 18 inches high. Prohibited items inside your purse include firearms, ammunition, knives, self-defense sprays, and loose dry ice. Interestingly, while you can bring food and non-alcoholic drinks, glass containers are generally banned except for small baby food jars. Once inside, you can take your purse on almost every attraction; most rides have a small storage pouch in front of your seat or enough floor space for you to place the strap around your leg. If you're riding something high-intensity like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, just ensure it's securely tucked away so it doesn't fly out during the launch!
