It is important to Know Before You Go! 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.

No, you cannot carry a firearm or any weapon at Walt Disney World Resort. Disney maintains a strictly enforced "no weapons" policy that applies to all guests, regardless of whether they possess a valid concealed carry permit. This ban extends across the entire property, including the theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, and all resort hotels. Upon arrival at a park or Disney Springs, every guest must pass through metal detectors and bag screenings. This policy also prohibits ammunition, knives (regardless of size), and even self-defense items like pepper spray or tasers. If you are staying at a Disney-owned hotel, you are still prohibited from keeping a weapon in your room or vehicle. For 2026 travelers, it is a "pro-tip" to leave these items at home or secured in a legal off-property location; attempting to bring them into the parks will result in being denied entry and, in some cases, a permanent ban from Disney property.
