Disneyland Bans Loose Phones and Large Tumblers on Select Rides

Disney cites loose items causing risks from spills to sensor‑triggered ride stops.

Overview

  • Disneyland is now actively enforcing no‑carry rules on Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and the Incredicoaster, requiring phones and big insulated cups to be stowed before dispatch.
  • Cast Members are checking for loose items at the platform and will hold vehicles until phones and bottles are put in bags or left in designated spots.
  • On the trackless Runaway Railway, a dropped phone can be read as an obstacle by onboard sensors and trigger an emergency stop that can require lengthy system resets.
  • On the high‑speed Incredicoaster, heavy 40‑ounce tumblers and loose phones can become projectiles or cause spills, so oversized cups must stay off the ride unless they fit in a stowed bag.
  • Disneyland’s 2026 Guest Code of Conduct now bars handheld recording on high‑kinetic attractions, and park guidance tells guests to check the app or ask Cast Members for current ride‑specific rules.
