Hey there, hi there, Tiffany!
Thanks for stopping by
planDisney, where you're always as welcome as can be. I'd be delighted to assist a fellow Mouseketeer today. Let's discuss what you can bring into a Walt Disney World theme park.
I've reviewed the
property rules and prohibited items, and while a non-vaporous essential oil pen isn't explicitly listed, be prepared to stow it away if a Cast Member identifies it as a vape. Property rules are subject to change at any time, so I recommend having a backup plan for calming techniques just in case.
If you can't use your pen in the theme parks, you can visit the
designated smoking areas outside the park entrances. To ease anxiety, consider taking frequent breaks from the crowds between riding attractions. As a fellow anxious traveler, here are a few of my favorite spots to relax and unwind in the theme parks.
*
Magic Kingdom Park: Tucked away side streets have secluded seating away from the crowded shops and eateries. Or, head to
Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant; it's rarely used except for the busiest days of the year and just before a dessert party.
*
EPCOT: World Celebration has recently debuted indoor and outdoor spaces for relaxation. Stroll through the gardens or sit in the air-conditioned
CommuniCore Hall while you recharge your social battery. The back of the United Kingdom pavilion also features peaceful gardens and benches perfect for a quiet retreat. Finally, don't forget to venture deep into the Morocco pavilion for a serene escape.
*
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park: Explore quiet animal trails and a (currently) unused outdoor theater space in Asia overlooking the central lagoon.
*
Disney's Hollywood Studios: Check out the Animation Courtyard and neighborhood near
PizzeRizzo.
Insider tip: the upstairs seating area of PizzeRizzo is rarely busy.
I hope this has been helpful, Tiffany. Best wishes for an unforgettable adventure, and if there's anything else we at planDisney can do to make it even more magical, don't hesitate to reach out again.
See ya real soon!
