Some make perfect sense and some are a little weird.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the sampling of Disneyland\u2019s Dos and Don\u2019ts below.<\/p>\n

This One May be Specific, But it Makes Plenty of Sense<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

An errant drone could hit a park guest in the head, interfere with a ride, or be part of a much more sinister plot against the park. People tend to get freaked out when they\u2019re being watched, which isn\u2019t how Disney wants their guests to feel.<\/p>\n

First of All, it’s a Little Creepy<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"it's<\/p>\n

Secondly, they don\u2019t want other guests thinking that some guy is a park employee just because he decided to wear an Aladdin outfit to the theme park. Finally, a costume makes you harder to spot and identify if something goes down. Makes sense, right?<\/p>\n

They’ve Got Plenty Already!<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"They've<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t want to give people the ability to toss open a chair in the middle of a crowded walkway. The park has lots of chairs. Use one that they provide. If not, you\u2019re probably turning a walkway into a bottleneck.<\/p>\n

Political Expressions and Rallies aren’t Really Part of the Full Disney Experience<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Full<\/p>\n

Take your love of Bernie Sanders to a more appropriate venue. The \u201cHappiest Place on Earth\u201d doesn\u2019t involve chants for political affiliations. Things could get ugly quickly.<\/p>\n

Even a Deflated Balloon (And Straws) Aren’t Allowed in Animal Kingdom<\/em><\/b><\/h3>\n

\"Animal

They\u2019re choking hazards for the animals. They also float away and pop, leaving trash in very hard-to-reach places. For a park that prides itself on cleanliness, that\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n

Have You Ever Been to a Really Crowded Place Like an Outdoor Mall or a Parade Where People Have Their Animals on Leashes?<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Animals<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

They make life hell for everyone trying to walk nearby them. It\u2019s no wonder Disneyland bans non-service animals. For good measure, keep your kids off leashes, too.<\/p>\n

Creepy!<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Creepy\"<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Again, safety, and common sense sort of dictate this policy. There are lots of reasons why people shouldn\u2019t be concealing their identities in crowded public places. It\u2019s almost a question of manners as much as safety, too.<\/p>\n

How Large is “Large?” If You Have to Ask, it’s Probably Too Large<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"Probably<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

This is also likely done to curb commercial photography on-site. Disney likes to take their own pics, thankyouverymuch. Also, they don\u2019t want their park turned into improvised movie sets. Too much liability and hassle.<\/p>\n

It’s Disneyland, Folks. Not an Oakland Raiders Game<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Disneyland\"<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

This is a no-brainer. There are kids around. Take your trashy language elsewhere. If you\u2019re going to curse, do it like a Disney character would and just make up some gibberish.<\/p>\n

Sure, YOUR Idea of the Happiest Place on Earth Might include Free-Flowing Booze…….But..<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Free-Flowing<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

But it\u2019s a liability that\u2019s hard to control and can hamper the family-friendly atmosphere. There are select places where you can grab an adult beverage, but don\u2019t count on it. Disney parks are bad places to drink on purpose. Soak up the magic instead.<\/p>\n

Wanna get extreme?<\/b> How About No?<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Wanna<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Go somewhere else. I\u2019m sure rollerblades, those exploding hoverboards, and Segways are banned, too. It screws up the flow of pedestrian traffic and can lead to many ankle-smashings.<\/p>\n

That’s Six Flags Behavior, Folks. At Disneyland, They’re Just a Little Classier<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Little<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all seen theme park people get a little\u2026rustic in their style of dress. Not at Disneyland. Shirts, shoes, the whole nine.<\/p>\n

Duh!<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Duh\"<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Weapons hurt people. In fact, they\u2019re made to hurt people efficiently. That\u2019s NOT<\/strong> what the Mouse is about!<\/p>\n

If You Have One of Those Limousine Strollers for Your Septuplets, You Might Need to Break the Kids Up into Smaller Vehicles<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Smaller<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Again, this goes to circulation and crowd control. The bigger your stuff, the less room there is for movement, which hampers everyone\u2019s experience. Keep your strollers nice and tiny, please.<\/p>\n

When Half the People are Posing for Selfies or Looking at Maps, People Sprinting Around the Park are Liabilities<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"People<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

These might be a little obvious, but you get the idea. This isn\u2019t a gym. Running people are both hard to catch and in danger of hurting themselves and others. Don\u2019t run at Disney. Even if you\u2019re excited.<\/p>\n

The Lighting Will be Ample<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

We promise. And if it\u2019s too dark, it\u2019s dark for a reason, and your flash is ruining the experience for others.<\/p>\n

Yup. The Young Ones Don’t Need to See That Naked Lady Tattoo You Got in Thailand Two Years Ago<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Naked<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

How about just \u201cDon\u2019t be inappropriate?\u201d With your tattoos, your language, your clothes, or anything else. You\u2019ll want to cover up that profane slogan on your arm (Perhaps always).<\/p>\n

We’re Sure Your Precocious Little Toddler Would Like Nothing More Than to Feed Chewing Gum to the Goats and Chickens But…NO!<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Goats<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

Disney would like to remind you that the animals are very well-fed in an official and closely monitored capacity. This one doesn\u2019t just impact other people. You could really hurt these animals by feeding them junk.<\/p>\n

There are Public Safety Concerns With Bombs and Such<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Public<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the fact that it\u2019s a crowded place, and these things take up precious real estate. You\u2019ll definitely see themes running among all these rules.<\/p>\n

It’s Not 1960!<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"It's<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to suck down a smoke away from the public. It gives the park a seedy feeling that doesn\u2019t jive well with what they\u2019re going for.<\/p>\n

Glass Shatters Into Sharp Pieces When Broken. Why Take the Risk?<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Glass<\/p>\n

Pack that baby food into plastic ware, people! With this many people and tumbling, falling toddlers things could get dicey? Glass on the ground could be a real danger.<\/p>\n

Disney Didn’t Drop All This Money on Their Park to Make the Perfect Set for Your Student Film or Web Series<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

Filming\u2019s disruptive, and the right to shoot isn\u2019t included in your ticket price. This harkens back to the \u201cno large tripods\u201d rule. Take pics, be reasonable. Don\u2019t shoot your pilot here. You probably can legally, but it will cost you an arm and a leg!<\/p>\n

This Isn’t Obvious, But it Makes Sense<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

A) They don\u2019t want your hands up in the air and your face buried in a screen, B) Your phone WILL<\/strong> fly out of your hands, and C) They don\u2019t want you posting the roller coaster experience on YouTube, ruining it for potential guests.<\/p>\n

It’s Easy to See Why This Would be a Sensitive Issue!<\/b><\/em><\/h3>\n

\"Sensitive<\/p>\n

Source: TT<\/a><\/i><\/p>\n

No one wants to sit around in a line for two hours, only to have three kids climbing over ropes and turnstiles to get in ahead of them. So if you\u2019re holding a spot, you\u2019re going to have to hang back until the people in your party behind you catch up.<\/p>\n

So now you know WHAT NOT to do at Disney Parks.<\/p>\n
