Disney just introduced a brand-new rule inside Walt Disney World, and it’s catching many guests by surprise. If you’re planning a trip soon, here’s everything you need to know before you board Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
📱 The New Rule at Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Disney now requires all guests to fully stow away their phones before the ride begins.
- No filming.
- No holding your phone in your lap.
- No sneaky selfies once the ride starts.
Phones must be put away in bags or pockets for the entire ride.
Why the change? Runaway Railway uses a trackless ride system that moves unpredictably. Phones have been dropped, rides have been delayed, and Disney says the new policy is all about safety and keeping the magic flowing.

🎢 Why This Matters
This rule is especially important for vloggers, TikTok creators, and fans who love recording ride-throughs. Many see it as a frustrating limit, while others agree it’s necessary for safety.
On fan forums, the reactions are mixed:
- Some say: “It ruins the experience not being able to capture it!”
- Others counter: “It keeps everyone safe and lets you enjoy the ride distraction-free.”

✨ Other Disney Rules You Might Not Know
This isn’t the only policy update guests have been buzzing about. Recently:
- Cast Members in safety-critical jobs can’t wear smartwatches to avoid distractions.
- Dress code enforcement has turned away guests wearing sports bras or overly revealing outfits.
- The heartwarming “Disney Hug Rule” means costumed characters let children decide when a hug ends, so they never feel rushed.
Disney’s rules may change often, but they’re all part of shaping the guest experience—balancing safety, magic, and family fun.
