Does Disney confiscate Vapes?

While vape pens are not in the list of prohibited items at this time, your partner should speak with a security Cast Member when they arrive at a theme park entrance to see if they are allowed to bring their vape pen into the parks with them. They should also ask the security Cast Member about the Nicorette Inhalators.



Disney does not typically "confiscate" vapes in the sense of seizing them forever, but they are strictly prohibited from being used anywhere inside the theme parks, water parks, or hotels in 2026. Since May 1, 2019, Disneyland and Walt Disney World have been entirely smoke-free and vape-free environments. If you are caught using a vape pen, e-cigarette, or mod inside the park, you will be asked to stop immediately and may be escorted out of the park for repeat offenses. During the security screening at the entrance, security may notice the device. While you are allowed to have it in your bag, you are not allowed to use it. If you need to vape, you must exit the park and go to a designated smoking area located outside the security perimeter (typically in the Downtown Disney or Disney Springs areas). In 2026, Disney security is very proactive about enforcing this rule to maintain a "family-friendly" atmosphere and clean air quality for all guests.
