Can you carry a gun into Disney Springs?

The Walt Disney World Resort website currently lists the following items as prohibited: Firearms, ammunition, knives and weapons of any kind. Self-defense or restraining devices (e.g., pepper spray, mace)



No, you are strictly prohibited from carrying any firearms or weapons into Disney Springs, regardless of whether you have a valid concealed carry permit. This policy is part of Disney’s "Zero Tolerance" stance on weapons across all its properties worldwide. Upon arrival at Disney Springs, guests are required to pass through security screening, which includes high-tech metal detectors (Evolv scanners) that can identify metallic objects inside bags and on your person. If you are found with a firearm, you will be denied entry and may be trespassed from the property permanently. This rule applies to everyone, including off-duty law enforcement officers from other jurisdictions (only active-duty officers on official business are generally exempt). Disney emphasizes that their properties are private "gun-free zones" designed for family entertainment. If you are traveling with a firearm, you must store it safely in your own vehicle (subject to Florida state laws) or in a secure location off Disney property, as hotel safes and "front desk storage" are not authorized to hold weapons.

Disney Springs, like other Disney-owned properties, has strict policies regarding firearms and weapons. According to Disney’s official guidelines, guests are not permitted to bring firearms, ammunition, knives, or any other weapons into Disney Springs or any other Disney theme parks, resorts, or properties. This policy applies to both concealed and openly carried weapons, regardless of whether the individual has a valid concealed carry permit.

Security measures, including bag checks and metal detectors, are in place at entrances to enforce these rules. If you attempt to bring a weapon into Disney Springs, you will likely be denied entry or asked to remove the item from the premises. It’s always advisable to review Disney’s official policies or contact guest services for the most up-to-date information before your visit.
