While it's not a theme park, Disney Springs is a large Guest area that is part of the Walt Disney World Resort. It has a formal security process and perimeter established, requiring all Guests to encounter a full security screening and potential bag checks prior to entry.

Yes, Disney Springs utilizes a comprehensive security screening process for all guests entering the district. As of 2026, the primary method of screening is through Evolv technology, which are high-tech "walk-through" sensors that can detect weapons and prohibited items while you walk at a normal pace with your bags. In most cases, you do not even need to remove items from your pockets or hand over your bag unless the sensor's artificial intelligence triggers an alert. If an alert occurs, a security Cast Member will pull you aside for a manual bag check or a "wand" search. There are also uniformed police officers and specially trained "vapor wake" canines patrolling the entrances and common areas. This screening is mandatory at all entrance points, including the surface lots, the Orange and Lime parking garages, and the rideshare drop-off zones. While it is generally very fast, it ensures that the "bubble" of Disney safety extends beyond the theme parks and into the shopping and dining areas.
