Disney World Tightens No-Phone Rules Across Major Rides

Overview

• Disney World, which stepped up enforcement Tuesday across at least seven attractions, now has Cast Members stop dispatch if a phone is out.
• TRON Lightcycle Run requires lockers for phones and bags, with access tied to a MagicBand or ticket, which can slow boarding for guests who only have their phones.
• Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway now get pre-dispatch checks, and dropped phones on Runaway Railway have triggered frequent emergency stops.
• Expedition Everest, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and Space Mountain face tighter loose-item scrutiny that is slowing loading and lengthening waits.
• Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster is expected to adopt the same rules when it reopens, signaling a wider 2026 push for stricter phone policies across select Disney rides.
