Is hand sanitizer allowed at Disney?

It's always a good idea to check the Disneyland Resort Rules to “know before you go!” The Resort Rules have been updated lately, with several important changes regarding strollers, smoking, and loose ice. But, I'm happy to report that hand sanitizer and hand lotion should be just fine.



Yes, hand sanitizer is not only allowed at Disney World and Disneyland, but it is also highly encouraged and widely available throughout the parks. Guests are permitted to bring their own personal-sized bottles of hand sanitizer in their carry-in bags; there are no specific size restrictions for the sanitizer itself, provided it is for personal use and not in a glass container (as glass is generally prohibited for safety reasons). Since 2020, Disney has installed hundreds of permanent, touchless hand sanitizer stations at the entrances and exits of nearly every attraction, as well as near dining locations and merchandise shops. While the "complimentary" stations are convenient, many veterans of the parks recommend bringing your own travel-sized bottle to use while waiting in long queues or after touching high-contact surfaces like handrails. As of 2026, these hygiene standards remain a core part of Disney's "Health and Wellness" protocols, ensuring that guests can easily keep their hands clean while enjoying the parks' "high-touch" environments.
