One 2015 ban and new 2023–2025 signage changed how you record in parks—if you ignore it, you risk a quiet escort to a security holding room and a video you can’t post later.

In late 2023, updated signs on Space Mountain began stating that “hand-held or loose articles, including cell phones and cameras, are not permitted while riding.” Cast Members now verify items are stowed before dispatch, and noncompliance can pause a load cycle. This sits alongside Disney’s long-standing 2015 selfie-stick ban and today’s property rules that allow Disney to film you on-site.
Why parents breathe easier while vloggers face more stops
Families benefit from darker rides running without flash bursts, but creators risk interruptions if gear isn’t secured or if a crew blocks aisles for shots.
“Cast Members let me know that you should be able to safely ride with a wearable camera as long as they can confirm it is securely fastened and attached to your chest,” — Prince, planDisney panelist.

If you plan to record your visit, follow these steps to avoid a security hold, a stalled dispatch, or losing footage.
| Step | Detail | Deadline |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Use a chest-mounted wearable only; no hand-helds on coasters or dark rides | Before entry |
| 2 | Ask the load-station Cast Member if your strap is approved for that vehicle | Queue arrival |
| 3 | Disable flash and screen brightness; set airplane mode to prevent glare | Pre-dispatch |
| 4 | Stow phones entirely on posted “no loose items” attractions | At restraint check |
Signals to watch in the next 60 days as policies tighten
Through November 30, 2025, expect more pre-show announcements that explicitly prohibit phones on select track rides, and watch for load delays triggered by guests holding devices at dispatch. A rise in viral clips of safety stops usually precedes a rules reminder.
Are you noticing fewer “ride stoppage for phones” reports?
After high-profile incidents in May 2025 and steady enforcement through August 2025, are guest-reported stoppages and lifetime-ban rumors falling week over week?
