5. Topless guests

Put your top on

Yes, we know...it can get really hot at Disney parks, particularly on a summer's day when you're racing from one ride to another. Dare to take your top off, though, and a Cast Member will pounce on you instantly. You'll be asked politely to cover up...or leave.

4. Pets

No dogs allowed

It won't have escaped your attention that many of Disney's most famous characters are animals. Mickey Mouse himself is a rodent, and he has a pet dog, Pluto, too. But when it comes to Disney's parks, real-life animals are not invited (with the exception of service animals). You can bring a cat or dog to the parks - but you'll have to leave it in a kennel.

3. Segways

Not enough wheels.

Disney explicitly bans "wheeled mobility devices with less than 3 wheels and devices that cannot maintain stability and balance when stopped, unpowered or unoccupied" from its parks. The aim is clear - the company does not want Segways rolling up Main Street, USA. One woman with muscular dystrophy challenged Disney's ban in court, but a California judge ruled against her. Among the evidence that Disney submitted? That "in 2010, the owner of the company that makes Segways, died when he apparently lost control of his Segway."

2. Alcoholic beverages

Disney's theme parks have relaxed their attitudes to alcohol over the years, with many table service restaurants now serving up alcoholic beverages. Still, Disney doesn't tolerate drunkenness - and it's certainly not about to allow you to bring your own booze in with you.

1. Weapons

Two-gun Mickey

You're liable to be harassed by a wicked witch, face plundering pirates and even encounter Darth Vader himself during your Disney theme park visit. But don't even think about defending yourself with a weapon. Since September 11, Disney parks are protected by extensive bag searches and their entrances. Bringing a knife of any kind or - even worse - a gun is really not recommended.

I agree with most of these restrictions though i don't understand the size restrictions with strollers. ... What if you require a double? But aside from that i would be pissed if i took my children there only to see drunk stumbling idiots with profanity written all over they're shirts or a young woman with her tits falling out. Thank you Disney for keeping family in mind!... even in these days

I once saw a dad with two very young toddlers in a wagon with a sunshade top. This wagon did not take up any more room than a stroller but they were turned away. It was so small and surely lighter than my daughter's wheelchair. Why were they turned away? I know the busses would have a hard time, but I have seen some huge double strollers folded and carried on the busses. I thought the wagon was a good idea.

I think this really has more to do wit $$ as Disney rents strollers both single and double. While both take up a lot of road space, I find it easier to get myself around a wagon than get tripped by a stroller

The reason about the wagon, or any large pulled coolers, is that you are pulling those behind you and no always looking behind you to see what or who you just ran over. I've sent security allow a wheeled cooler or even a wheeled suitcase, but the guests were instructed they must be PUSHING them (like you would a stroller). Anytime someone is seen pulling something, the guests have been approached and told if they can't push it, they'd have to leave it at guest relations.

I have been going to Disney for over 40 years and have NEVER seen someone as drunk as some posters are describing. I have been during the Food & Wine Festival and have also never witnessed this. I think most of this is exaggerated. I am always too busy having fun not looking for things to complain about. SMH.
