Does Disneyland allow fanny packs on rides?

Hi Emily, While all bags will be searched by security when you first arrive at the theme parks, I'm happy to let you know that you'll be able to bring small bags with you on all of the attractions!



Yes, Disneyland allows fanny packs (waist bags) on almost all of its attractions, and they are widely considered the most efficient way to carry essentials in the parks in 2026. Unlike many high-intensity theme parks that require all items to be stored in lockers, Disney’s ride vehicles are designed with enough space to accommodate small personal items. On most rides, you can simply keep the fanny pack buckled around your waist. For high-speed or "jerky" attractions like Space Mountain or Incredicoaster, you may be asked to ensure the bag is tucked away or positioned so it doesn't interfere with the safety restraint (lap bar or over-the-shoulder harness). The only exceptions are rare instances where a specific ride seat design might make the bag uncomfortable or impede the locking mechanism, in which case you can hold it in your lap or place it in the mesh "pouch" provided in the ride vehicle. This flexibility makes fanny packs a favorite for "Disney pros" who want quick access to phones, batteries, and sunscreen without the hassle of lockers.

yes but some rides make you take them off, I usually put it in and wear a jacket over it so they don't ask me to take it off because I don't like leaving it there alone.

If it's small enough on many of Disney's rides you don't even need to take your purse off, which is a plus cause you'll never lose it. Or if you're a minimalist, like me, use a fanny pack or bum bag. I'm in love with this colorful Mouse Ear fanny pack. Make sure it's big enough to fit everything you need for the day.

I am happy to tell you that you may certainly bring a small backpack or purse with you when experiencing the attractions at the theme parks. I like to use a small backpack-style purse or cross-body bag when I visit the Walt Disney World theme parks.

Keep the bag on the seat next to you or the floor in front of you. For attractions that are slow-moving or fully enclosed or have spacious vehicles, you can bring you bag onto the ride and plop it down next to you for the duration of the experience.

Limited Capacity: Fanny packs typically have less space compared to backpacks, and can only carry the essentials. Less Protection: Fanny packs offer little protection from the elements, and items stored in them can be exposed to rain or dust.

I've worn both. I wear fanny packs/bumbags as sling bags - they will usually have you remove a fanny pack if it's actually around your waist, for a ride (they'll have you remove a backpack as well, or any bag that is between you and a lap bar). It's really not inconvenience though.

A fanny pack, also known as a waist bag or pouch bag, is a small bag worn around the waist. It became popular in the 1980s and 1990s as a practical way to carry personal items with you during activities such as travelling, hiking and cycling.

How should you wear a fanny pack or belt bag? Rather than wearing them around your waist, many folks are starting to style them across their chest (like a crossbody purse) for a more trend-driven look.

In your case, a long skirt, that is not part of a costume and does not actually reach or drag on the ground should be fine. You may want to keep the skirt no longer than shin length, otherwise you may find it difficult to enter and exit the various cars and boats used on the attractions.

Lastly, if you're wearing thongs or sandals and are planning to ride a rollercoaster, you'll be asked to take them off so they don't fall out mid-ride. The floor on rides can get filthy, so do your feet a favour and wear enclosed shoes.
