Hiya, Ornella!
I'm so happy to welcome you to planDisney! It won't be long now until your Walt Disney World vacation begins! You'll soon be strolling right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A., soaking in the sights, sounds, and unforgettable experiences that make Disney so special! And guess what?! Mickey and all his pals can hardly wait to welcome you!
Gimbals are generally permitted through security and into Walt Disney World's theme parks. According to Disney's official
list of prohibited items, gimbals are not specifically mentioned. However, it's important to note that selfie sticks and any extension poles for cameras or mobile devices are not allowed. Since your particular gimbal includes an extendable feature, it may raise concerns at the security checkpoint.
In these situations, the final decision is always left to the discretion of the Cast Members at security.
My friend Prince recommends carrying it outside of your bag and holding it clearly in front of you as you pass through the scanners. This helps ensure the
security Cast Members can easily identify what it is without needing to stop you for further inspection.
Just remember, policies can change at any time, and while it may be allowed on one visit, it could be turned away on another. It's ultimately up to you whether or not to bring it, but be prepared for the possibility that it won't be accepted.
Ornella, you'll be arriving during one of the most festive and flavorful times of the year! Not only will you get to experience the spooktacular Halloween season, with themed decor, seasonal treats, and maybe even a special ticketed event like
Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, but you'll also be there for the
EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. This beloved festival is a foodie's dream, offering
Global Marketplaces, culinary demonstrations, and even exclusive merchandise. With so much magic, flavor, and fall fun happening all around the resort, you're in for one incredible adventure!
Thanks for visiting us at planDisney, Ornella! Wishing you the most MAGICAL vacation!
See ya real soon,
Kami
