Every Cast Member At Space Mountain Is BEGGING You Not To Break This One Rule

Space Mountain. It’s one of the most iconic attractions at Magic Kingdom (that feels like a bit of an understatement, right?)

Space Mountain

I mean, it’s a place where screams echo, stars zoom by, and every ride feels like a galactic journey. It’s definitely a Magic Kingdom right of passage ride. But here’s the deal, Space Mountain isn’t just about blasting off into space. It’s also about following the rules. We love Cast Members, and we know they work hard to keep us safe while we’re hurtling through the dark at warp speed. And believe me, they have seen it all. So, for the love of all that is Disney, PLEASE don’t break this one rule the next time you’re boarding your rocket ship!

Secure Your Phone Like It’s Your Firstborn Child

Do you want to say goodbye to your phone forever? This ride is dark, fast, and full of twists and turns. If you’re not securing your phone (or any other loose items), there’s a high chance it’s going to fly out mid-ride and join the black hole of lost things beneath the track.

Don’t believe us? One of my friends learned this the hard way. Her phone went on a one-way trip to Neverland…or maybe Tomorrowland’s underbelly. Either way, it was GONE. Use those storage pouches on the ride vehicle, people. Your selfies can wait.

Keep That Flashlight Off

Listen, we get it. Space Mountain is DARK, but that’s the point! It’s supposed to feel like you’re zooming through outer space. Turning on your phone flashlight (or worse, your camera flash) isn’t just a buzzkill for the rest of us, it’s also super distracting for the Cast Members monitoring the ride.

Plus, do you really want to be THAT person? So, let’s keep the flashlight off, and embrace the darkness of the ride.

Keep All Limbs Inside the Vehicle

Raise your hands if you’re ready to ride! But, do make sure they stay inside the ride vehicle. Seriously, don’t stretch your arms out or try to touch the mysterious glowing things around you.

As we were saying, Space Mountain is fast, twisty, and tight. You might not realize how close you are to the track infrastructure, and sticking your hands, or worse, your whole body, out of the vehicle can lead to some pretty scary consequences. Trust the design, keep those limbs inside the vehicle, and enjoy the ride without risking your safety.

No, Your Emotional Support Churro Can’t Come

We love a good Disney snack as much as the next person (okay, probably more), but Space Mountain isn’t the place to chow down on your Mickey pretzel or finish that last bite of popcorn.

Churros

First of all, it’s a safety issue. Loose snacks can fly out of your hands and become dangerous projectiles. Second, it’s just messy. Save your snacks for when you’re on solid ground. You and your churro can have a heartfelt reunion as soon as you exit the ride.

So there you have it, future space travelers. The next time you’re ready to rocket off on Space Mountain, remember these rules. The Cast Members are here to keep you safe and make your experience magical. Let’s not make their job harder than it has to be!
