Does Disneyland take away vapes?

Please note that while you may be able to bring your vape through security, smoking is prohibited on Disneyland Resort Property. This includes both parks, the Esplanade between the parks, as well as the Downtown Disney District and Hotel. If you need to take a break, you will have to travel off-property to smoke.



No, Disneyland security does not "confiscate" or take away vapes at the entrance, but they will strictly prohibit you from using them inside the resort. As of 2026, all Disney theme parks, including Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure, are entirely smoke-free and vape-free. This policy extends to the "Esplanade" area between the parks and the Downtown Disney District. If security finds a vape during the bag check or through the "OpenGate" scanners, they will simply remind you that smoking and vaping are only permitted in designated areas outside the security perimeter. If you are caught vaping inside the park, you will be asked to stop; repeated violations can lead to being escorted from the property or even a temporary ban. In 2026, Disney is particularly strict about "stealth vaping" in ride queues or restrooms to ensure the comfort of all guests. If you wish to vape, you must exit the park through the main gates and use the marked smoking sections located near the guest drop-off and parking areas.
