Credit: DisneyDisney has added to the list of items banned from its theme parks.
All theme parks are dictated by rules intended to keep both guests and employees safe and comfortable. Disney is no exception, with all guests expected to follow a code of conduct that, among other rules, prohibits disrespectful or violent behavior towards parkgoers and cast members alike.
Some Disney parks boast more unique rules than others. For example, at Tokyo Disney Resort, guests are prohibited from bringing their own food into the parks. The same was previously true at Shanghai Disneyland.
While select items are banned at all Disney parks – weapons are, for obvious reasons, a no-go no matter which park you visit – some resorts also restrict more items than others.
Disney Resort Expands List of Banned Items
At Disneyland Paris, this list of banned items just expanded.
Effective immediately, guests can no longer bring professional cameras, lenses over 135 mm, tripods or extension accessories over 20 cm, lighting equipment, microphones, drones, or any material that could disrupt the experience, compromise safety, or be used for commercial or journalistic filming (via DLP Report).

These join an already pretty lengthy list of prohibited items, including:
-
Illicit substances
-
Hazardous substances
-
Alcoholic beverages
-
Glass bottles
-
Offensive weapons
-
Defensive weapons
-
Objects that appear to be weapons
-
Toy guns
-
Toy blasters
-
Squirt guns
-
Vuvuzelas
-
Loud speakers
-
Horns
-
Drones
-
Remote control toys
Guests who insist upon bringing these items to the parks risk rejection at the security checkpoint. Anyone who smuggles items into the parks may also face removal – or, even worse, a ban from Disney property.
Fans aren’t overly impressed by the changes.
“Uhm.. excuse me?? What kind of bs…” wrote one X, formerly known as Twitter, user. “What classifies as a “professional camera” or lighting equipment? And as if they’re gonna check every lens if it’s 135mm or more… Like what? And why? Why no [mics]??”
Another said: “You’re somewhat creative? They don’t want your business anymore.”
Meanwhile, one fan joked, “It’s because Cascade of Lights is so awful that they want to make sure no one has images of it,” referring to the resort’s upcoming new nighttime spectacular.
As if the amount of bad news in a month couldn’t get any worse:
-The new flat AI map
-Tales of Magic losing its drones
-Now all cameras other than phones are forbidden?WTF IS DISNEYLAND PARIS DOING😵💫??

Disney Resort Prepares for Disney Adventure World
These rule changes come weeks before the debut of Disney Adventure World. The park will replace Walt Disney Studios Park as of March 29, with the likes of World of Frozen, Raiponce Tangled Spin, Adventure Bay (where guests can watch the aforementioned Cascade of Lights), and The Regal View Restaurant & Lounge – which features redesigned looks for multiple Disney princesses – rejuvenating a theme park long considered the worst of Disney’s global lineup.
Previews start soon for the new-and-improved park, with influencers already flying into Paris to prepare for a first look. Several previews are also available to Annual Passholders, with these booking out well in advance.
What do you think of the new additions to Disney’s list of prohibited items?
