If you’ve planned a magical vacation that you’ve been waiting months for, the last thing you want to do is get kicked out of the parks!
You paid for the vacation, so don’t end it early!
There are a lot of ways to break the rules in Disney World and Cast Members have seen a wide variety of “creative” ways that guests try to push the limits. But recently, there have been some new policies and procedures put in place at Disney World — meaning that there are 4 NEW ways you could get kicked out of the parks!
1. Refusing to Wear Your Face Covering Where Required
As part of the health and safety policies for Walt Disney World’s reopening, guests are required to wear masks in certain locations in Disney World. Face masks are currently required for all guests indoors, and the website notes that “This includes upon entering and throughout all indoor attractions and indoor queues and in Disney buses, monorail and Disney Skyliner, regardless of vaccination status.”
You’ll spot these signs all over the parks.
By entering the Walt Disney World Resort, you acknowledge that you understand and will abide by the health and safety regulations. Therefore, if you refuse to wear your mask properly in the parks, then you run the risk of being asked to leave. Usually, Cast Members will issue warnings to guests if it’s a one-time thing, but if you continue to disobey, you might be kicked out.

2. Presenting A Fake Boarding Pass
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opened at Disney World in 2019 and used a boarding pass system exclusively for the first year and a half of operation. During that time, the ride was incredibly popular, so boarding passes were pretty difficult to snag.
You won’t be fooling Disney!
Many websites, ours included, have shared screenshots of boarding passes over time. Some guests have been showing screenshots from the internet and trying to pass them off as their own. Don’t be quick to think you can show a screenshot to a Cast Member at the ride and magically be whisked into the queue.
Sorry guys, don’t even try it!
Sorry guys but, as you might suspect…that it doesn’t work. When you go to board the attraction, Cast Members will scan your ticket or MagicBand and they’ll be able to tell if you ever had a boarding pass to begin with. In addition to that, Rise of the Resistance is currently only operating with a standby line, so boarding passes aren’t necessary anymore. The boarding group system is still in use at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, but this “trick” won’t work over there either!

3. Using Others’ MagicBands/Tickets
This one is kinda in the same vein as the boarding group one. For a while after reopening, Disney wasn’t requiring finger scans for guests at the park entrances, which led some to believe that they could use other guests’ tickets. (It didn’t work — Disney was still monitoring who was using what ticket.) Now that finger scans are back again, it’s even easier to catch people in the act!
Just use your own ticket!
If you try to use another guest’s ticket or MagicBand, you will likely be denied entry and face consequences from security. Don’t think you can outsmart Mickey Mouse! He has eyes everywhere. 😉 This isn’t one you want to find out the hard way (as you’re escorted off property).

4. Directing Profanity at Cast Members
This one may be a bigger deal at the Disneyland Resort, but it’s possible that we could see it come to Walt Disney World in the future (plus it’s just…you know…a bad thing to do!). Language was recently added to the Disneyland Resort website to note that guests who use vulgar and derogatory words and phrases toward Cast Members may be kicked out of the park.
Could we see this new policy at Disney World as well?
Your mom’s old “if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all” applies at Disney parks too. The language has been updated over time but currently, one part of the Disneyland website does note that Disney reserves the right to require a guest to leave if they use profanity or offensive language toward Cast Members or other guests.

While this exact language doesn’t seem to appear on the Disney World website, the Disney World website does instruct guests to show common courtesy to fellow guests and Cast Members by not using profanity or engaging in offensive behavior.

Many guests have been removed from the parks over the years for causing a scene. Screaming at Cast Members or other guests is generally a bad idea, plus it’s not a very nice thing to do. We’ve said it a thousand times but Cast Members are the REAL magic makers in Disney parks so don’t take out your frustrations on them. They’re just doing their job. You don’t want to be that guest!

I do not understand why WDW has not adopted the same rule as Disneyland has regarding vulgar and derogatory language directed towards cast members . Are WDW cast members not entitled to the same degree of respect as the cast members of Disneyland ? Why isn’t WDW protecting their cast members against verbal harassment and degradation?
I was not aware of a difference.
WDW does try and protect its cast members which is why the last time I was there the presence of security and deputies was noticeably increased.
But this dud not stop guests from yelling and screaming at cast members. Edie idly at entrance.
Sounds like kicking the abusers out of the park is a pretty good solution. No one has the right to treat another person that way. Particularly when that individual could lose their job if they do not do the job they are paid to do. It’s Disney World … not the local pub.
I don’t like being around people that talk and act like that in real life; I certainly don’t want to put up with it in Disney.
5. Don’t get off your boat ride vehicle to steal things from the attraction! Not even for your lunch.
The Park Pass waiver has nothing to do with mask policies.
Rather, you’re acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present and are waiving your right to sue if you get the virus (or “any disease or illness caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi”).
