    Hi I'm planning a suprise visit with my spouse to disneyland since they're a big Kingdpm Hearts fan. I was wondering since ive seen people bring in lightsabers, if we'd be allowed to bring in those bright plastic keyblade props for photos?

    Hi Clay,

    Thanks for stopping by planDisney! I’m so thrilled to hear that you’re planning a surprise Disneyland visit for your partner; that’s such a thoughtful and magical idea. There’s something incredibly special about experiencing the parks with someone you care about. Now, let’s talk about something I know will make your partner’s heart skip a beat: Keyblades at Disneyland!

    I reviewed the park rules, and I don’t see anything that explicitly prohibits bringing a prop Keyblade. However, you’ll ultimately need to defer to the judgment of the Cast Members at Security, as Disneyland reserves the right to prohibit any bag, parcel, or item at their discretion.

    Disney is no stranger to Kingdom Hearts fans! Since your partner loves Keyblades, you’ll definitely want to check out the Key to Disneyland experience. There are interactive keylock stations located throughout Disneyland Park that can be unlocked using your special key. Once you’ve unlocked all nine stations, return to the front of the park to reveal a secret pin hidden inside your key!

    The best part? You don’t have to complete it all in one day; your key saves your progress! So don't feel pressure to miss out on rides and entertainment along the way. You can even watch my fellow panelists, Q and Melissa, try out the Key to Disneyland in one of our planDisney videos. And here’s a fun tip: visit some of the key stations at night, they light up beautifully!

    I hope this information was helpful, Clay! If you have more questions or would like more tips for your upcoming adventure, feel free to reach out to me or any of my fellow planDisney panelists. We’re always here to add a little extra pixie dust to your vacation.

    Have a magical trip!
