🚪 How Security Works at Disneyland Paris
Every guest goes through security before entering Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park, or Disney Village.
Here’s what to expect:
-
🔍 X-ray scanning for all bags, backpacks, and strollers.
-
🚶♂️ Walk-through metal detectors for every guest.
-
✋ Manual inspection if something flags up.
💡 Pro Tip: Arrive 30–60 minutes before park opening. Security opens earlier, and beating the rush means more ride time!

🔋 Power Banks & Tech
No listed size limit — stick to airline-safe models (under 27,000mAh).
Bring a short charging cable for queues.
💡 Hidden Gem Alert: While your power bank is still your best bet for a full Disney day, there’s a little-known free charging station tucked inside the Alpha arcade at Café Hyperion in Discoveryland. It’s the perfect pit stop while you refuel with a burger.
For every charging spot in the parks (including rentals and secret plug-in points), check out our Mobile Charging Locations at Disneyland Paris guide.
