Welcome to planDisney, David!
I hope you’re having a wonderful Florida summer! When you go to visit the Disney World theme parks, don’t forget to bring your umbrella for the afternoon rain showers — you never want to be caught in the storm without some protection!
I took a close look at Walt Disney World’s
Property Rules, Policies & Regulations and did not see walkie talkies as prohibited items, but security does state that they, “…reserve the right to prohibit the use or storage of any other item not listed above that we determine may be harmful or disruptive, in our sole and absolute discretion.” If they were not permitted at Hollywood Studios when you visited, I would assume that they are not allowed at the theme parks, David — Disney security will always have the final say as to what is permitted in the parks.
Since you probably cannot bring your walkie talkies into the theme parks, I recommend using cell phones and “meeting plans” for everyone. Make sure everyone has a watch and knows directions to a location you can all meet up at for particular times during the day for family check-ins.
I hope you’re gearing up for
Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT this year, David! August 28 is going to be here before we know it!
If you have any additional questions before your arrival, we hope you’ll visit us again here at planDisney.
TTFN: Ta-Ta For Now
