This should go without saying, but DON’T DO THIS! Disney’s list of prohibited items exists for a reason, and ALL Disneyland or Walt Disney World Guests should follow the rules!
However, there are always those who want to tempt fate by pushing the limits and attempting to find ways to work around Disney’s security. For whatever reason, some guests need to ignore the obvious and well-publicized rules that Disney imposes and take matters into their own hands.
This attitude is damaging for all those visiting the parks as Disney’s rules are put in place for good reason. Whether it is to avoid unnecessary injury, keep situations that promote poor outcomes from happening, or simply to ensure that everyone in attendance has a pleasant experience, rules are NOT meant to be broken.
Sadly, some think that this does not apply to them and have come up with clever ways to skirt around security when going through the gates and bag check areas at Disney Parks.
We’ve recently seen videos of guests to Walt Disney World sneaking in children in strollers so that they do not have to purchase tickets. Unbelievably, incidents like this happen way too often and sometimes work. The outcomes are rarely good, as they lead to more strenuous security measures for other guests or, in this particular case, could impact ticket sales in the future.
However, children aren’t the only things being smuggled into Disney; another item, which admittedly is an expensive buy in the parks, is prohibited from being brought inside, but that hasn’t stopped many from trying.

Alcohol is now everywhere at Disney. We’ve been pretty vocal about some of the issues at parks like EPCOT, where “drinking around the world” has become a very popular hobby of visitors.
However, although EPCOT has its own issues with alcohol, it isn’t the only park that serves adult beverages. In fact, all do, including Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure.
As alcohol is severely limited in some parks, like Magic Kingdom at Disney World, only served during table service meals, some guests have tried to find ways to work around Disney’s strenuous ruling on drinking around some of their parks.
Despite the fact that Disneyland’s website clearly states that alcohol is a strictly prohibited item, this didn’t stop one family from not only sneaking Buzz Balls into the parks but posting their decision to break the rules on social media. Here’s the video below with the caption, “We lit at Disney.”

The video posted TikTok by @eddiezepeda24 shows guests at Disneyland hiding alcoholic beverages in cans of Pringles and Takis while sneaking them through Disney security. The video shows the efforts that many will go through to ensure they have alcohol readily available to them within the parks without paying insane prices.
Interestingly enough, another Disney guest attempted this trick and reported she was banned. Disney has definitely caught on!
As the video states they are visiting Disneyland, it is important to note that the park does not allow open containers of alcohol to be carried around. Instead, guests at Disneyland can enjoy a beverage and their meals at two different restaurant locations within the park, Oga’s Cantina at Galaxy’s Edge or Blue Bayou near Pirates of the Caribbean.
A second video below shows the group drinking at Oga’s Cantina:

Can You Bring Alcohol Into the Disney Parks?
Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts maintain strict standards when it comes to bringing alcohol into the parks. Guests are not permitted to bring their own alcoholic beverages into any of the theme parks, and bags are subject to security checks at entry points to ensure compliance.
This rule aligns with Disney’s focus on providing a safe, family-friendly environment where they control the sale and responsible service of alcohol. For those looking to enjoy an adult beverage, Disney offers a variety of locations within the parks where alcohol can be purchased and enjoyed responsibly.
Have you ever seen people attempt to sneak prohibited items into a Disney Park? Let us know in the comments.
Alcoholics will always find a way to get a fix.
All that will happen is Disney parks will eventually stop allowing food to be taken in. Well done🙄
This is exactly what I was thinking. The stupid TikTok videos all feature using thing such as Pringles cans to hold cans of booze (tip for Security CMs: Pringles are really light, a lot light er than canned drinks). One dumb woman showed how she unscrewed the cap on blue ice containers and replaced the cooling gel with liquor.
Yep, Disney is going to get fed up with this nonsense and ban all outside food and beverages.
OMG do you really need booze that badly? Just buy it in the park and don’t embarrass yourself.
