Can you have a gun in Disney?

Firearms, ammunition, knives and weapons of any kind are prohibited. Smoking marijuana or other illegal substances is not permitted at any time. For the comfort of all Guests, Walt Disney World theme parks, water parks, and ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex are smoke free.



No, guests are strictly prohibited from bringing firearms, ammunition, or weapons of any kind onto Disney properties, including Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disneyland Resort in California. This comprehensive "No Weapons" policy applies to all theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, the Downtown Disney District, and all Disney-owned resort hotels. Disney employs a multi-layered security approach that includes metal detectors, bag checks, and uniformed and plainclothes security officers to enforce this ban. There are no exceptions for individuals with concealed carry permits, as the parks are private property. This policy also extends to objects that even appear to be firearms, such as toy blasters or squirt guns. In 2026, Disney continues to strictly monitor all entry points; if a firearm is discovered, the individual is typically denied entry and may be trespassed from the property or referred to local law enforcement. For travelers who legally transport firearms, the "gold standard" is to leave them securely locked in their personal vehicle or at an off-site location, as hotel safes and "held" luggage services will not accept them.
