Take The Trip by Brian

“Most people think Walt Disney World Resort has a ton of strict rules… but the truth is, Disney actually allows a lot of things in the parks that most guests don’t realize.”

“So before you head into Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, or Disney’s Animal Kingdom, here are 10 things Disney allows that might surprise you.”

1. Outside Food and Snacks

“You can actually bring your own food and snacks into Disney.”

“Granola bars, sandwiches, chips — totally allowed. Just no glass containers or alcohol.”

2. Refillable Water Bottles

“You can bring a refillable water bottle, and quick-service restaurants will give you free ice water if you ask.”

“That alone can save you a small fortune in the Florida heat.”

3. Small Coolers

“Yes — small soft-sided coolers are allowed.”

“Perfect for drinks, fruit, or keeping snacks cold during a long park day.”

4. Portable Phone Chargers

“You’re going to live on the Disney app all day, so bringing your own portable charger is completely allowed — and honestly a must.”

5. Costumes for Kids (and Sometimes Adults)

“Kids can absolutely wear princess dresses or costumes in the parks.”

“Adults usually can’t wear full costumes… unless it’s special events like Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.”

6. Autograph Books or Your Own Items

“You don’t have to buy the Disney autograph books.”

“Bring your own notebook, hat, or even a photo mat for characters to sign.”

7. Strollers and Wagons (With Limits)

“Strollers are allowed — they just have to fit Disney’s size limits.”

“Pro tip: having a stroller isn’t just for kids… it’s great for carrying stuff.”

8. Ponchos and Rain Gear

“Florida rain happens fast, so bringing your own ponchos or rain jackets is totally fine.”

“And way cheaper than buying one in the park.”

9. Personal Fans and Cooling Towels

“You can bring cooling towels, misting fans, and small portable fans.”

“In the summer, these are lifesavers.”

10. Your Own Coffee

“And here’s one people really don’t realize — you can bring your own coffee or drinks into the park.”

“So if you need that morning caffeine before rope drop… you’re covered.”

“So next time you visit Walt Disney World Resort, remember — packing smart can save you money, keep you comfortable, and make your Disney day a whole lot better.”
