Over the weekend, a guest attempted to bring an item into Disneyland that is strictly forbidden from the resort. The guest had stowed away a bottle of wine, attempting to carry it into the resort with the rest of their items. However, a security officer working at the baggage check station discovered the alcohol and took it from the guest.
The Disney theme parks and resorts all have their own set of rules guests are expected to follow. This rule sheet is quite expansive, but as long as guests are not running around the Magic Kingdom naked or trying to get into physical altercations during their day at Disneyland, their trip most likely will not be affected.
Disney is quite relaxed and forgiving when it comes to how it treats its guests, with theme park employees, also known as cast members, always looking for ways to add more magic to guests’ days.
However, sometimes action must be taken, with a video of the guest getting caught with alcohol going viral on social media.

User JackstaWRX shared the video, which has since gone viral on places like Reddit. The guest can be seen trying to make their way through a security checkpoint before entering Disneyland. The video was posted to the “Trashy” subreddit, showing the brief encounter between the guest and the security officer.
The guest had several bags and a stroller. This stroller is where the guest attempted to stash their bottle of wine, though this plan was quickly thwarted.
The officer looks down with a flashlight and spots the bottle, removing it from the stroller and carrying it away.

The video has received close to six thousand views and over a thousand comments. Many of these comments come from users who were slightly confused by the guest’s plan, criticizing how poorly they managed to hide the bottle of wine in the first place.
Reddit user jbeaird said, “This isnt trashy it’s just poor planning.”

It’s unclear what happened to the guest after the video cut off, though they were most likely let in with just a warning.
Disney clearly states that alcohol is prohibited and must be purchased from inside the actual theme parks, hotels, or Downtown Disney. Wine may be brought into the Downtown Disney District to be consumed at certain table service restaurants only, and corkage fees apply.
This is far from the only instance of a guest getting caught sneaking a prohibited item into the Disney theme parks. Last year, a video went viral on TikTok showing a guest smuggling alcohol into the Walt Disney World Resort by using an empty sunscreen bottle.
Earlier this year, a guest was reportedly banned after trying to sneak alcohol into Disneyland.
