Does Disneyland put your backpack thru a metal detector?

Disneyland still uses the old style metal detectors, which require a physical bag check and a slow one at a time processing through a vintage step through scanner. Disneyland has lines for those with bags and those without. Only the people in the party with bags should get in the bags line!

Every bag is subject to a security screening before you enter the park, and bag policies are the same at Disneyland and Disney World. Because security will make sure the contents of each bag are safe, clear bags are not required at the Disney parks. We'll talk more about size restrictions of bags below!

The first time you use a ticket (or annual pass), your 5 point biometric finger scan is recorded. Each time you use the ticket after that, the scanner is looking for your finger scan to match the original one. This helps Disney to prevent the fraudulent use of park tickets.

Yes, you can have anything sharp that is less than 2 I think it was. I came back from DLR with 1000 pins in a bag and they had to hand look at it because it was so dense that the Xray couldn't get through it. Other than that, they are fine. Try to have them less than 5-7 thick and the xray can go through it probably.

Hi there, Adrian, Guests of the Disneyland Resort are allowed to take outside food and non-alcoholic beverages with them. Refillable water bottles are also allowed, even metal bottles like the brand you have. One of my favorite refillable water bottles is an insulated metal bottle that I got at the Disneyland Resort.
