Disney World Ejects Guests for Costumes, Unsafe Conduct, and Alcohol Misuse
Security teams enforce longstanding rules with quiet removals that can escalate to bans to protect a family-focused environment.
Overview
- Adults over 14 are not allowed to wear full costumes or masks except during special ticketed events such as Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.
- Unsafe or disruptive behavior, including climbing out of ride vehicles, entering backstage areas, ignoring instructions, or fighting, triggers immediate removal.
- Alcohol-fueled disorder, frequently linked to EPCOT’s World Showcase and also seen at Disney Springs and resort lounges, leads to swift ejection once behavior turns disruptive.
- Most cases are handled discreetly, often beginning with a warning, and can result in same-day expulsion or multi-month to permanent bans for serious violations.
- Less common causes for removal include trespassing without a ticket, theft, smoking in non-designated areas, and inappropriate behavior toward Cast Members.
