Disney4me Posted September 12, 2025 Report Posted September 12, 2025 If you’re visiting Disney World for the first time, you might not be familiar with some of the rules you’ll need to know about at certain attractions. Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland Sure, you might have researched things like the height requirements on rides, especially if you have children. You’ve probably even checked ride safety guidelines (and be sure to listen to Cast Members when you board rides). One thing you may not be thinking of, though, is your cell phone. Now, using your cell phone on rides is a controversial topic, but there are some rides that have restricted the use of cell phones in both Disney World and Disneyland. Recently, we’ve noticed that some rides have explicitly added signs to notify guests that cellphones are not allowed. We’ve seen this specifically on Space Mountain, as well as on Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland (we’re still waiting to see if Disney World will follow suit). Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway in Disneyland Rides like TRON Lightcycle / Run, though, may instruct you to put your things away in a locker before you ride. In other instances, we’ve been told by Cast Members to put our phones away or are highly encouraged to stash ALL our belongings (phones included) in provided bins or bags inside rides. TRON Lightcycle / Run Here’s a list of rides where you’ll either see signage telling you to stash your phone away, or you’ll be highly encouraged to put it away during the ride: Disney World Magic Kingdom Space Mountain TRON Lightcycle / Run Big Thunder Mountain Railroad EPCOT Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind Soarin’ Disney’s Hollywood Studios Tower of Terror Star Tours Disney’s Animal Kingdom Dinosaur Flight of Passage Flight of Passage Note that if a Cast Member tells you to put your belongings away, including your cell phone, you should do as asked, no matter the ride. Sometimes, a Cast Member might not spot your phone, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the rule doesn’t apply at these attractions. Disneyland Disneyland Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway Indiana Jones Adventure Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Star Tours Disney California Adventure IncrediCoaster Soarin’ Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout Plus, we know you know this, but it’s generally bad etiquette to pull your phone out during dark rides and use flash photography or video (which is against the rules on those rides).
