    We are seniors who use a small HEPA filter (6x6x3) to safely eat indoors while covid is rampant. It's been no problem at resorts or Disney Springs. Will it pass security at EPCOT for our upcoming trip?

    Hi, there!

     Welcome to planDisney, Kathryn. We're so glad you stopped by! It sounds like this isn't your first visit to the Walt Disney World Resort. You must love it as much as I do!

     I commend your commitment to your health. You ask a great question about taking your small HEPA filter into the theme parks. In looking over the Walt Disney World Resort Property Rules, I don't see anything in the Prohibited Items list that would make me think you couldn't take your small HEPA filter into EPCOT. That said, the Security Team does "reserve the right not to allow any bag, parcel, or other item." My best advice is just to be prepared to explain what it is if you're questioned at the security screening. 

     Your September visit to EPCOT is the perfect time to experience the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. With global marketplaces, unique entertainment, and exclusive activities, this special event is not to be missed! You may especially appreciate the global marketplaces as they give you an opportunity to sample cuisine and beverages from around the world, all while in the fresh air throughout World Showcase. 

     I hope this was helpful, Kathryn. Please let us know if you have any other questions about your next visit to the Walt Disney World Resort! We'd love to help you plan another magical stay.
