Conditional. Bags, backpacks, and suitcases are allowed if they don't exceed 24"x15"x18", and are subject to security screening. Max size: 24"x15"x18".

Allowed. One parking fee covers both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure on the same shared pass: Car or Motorcycle $40, Preferred Parking $60, both at the Mickey & Friends/Pixar Pals Parking Structures or the Toy Story Parking Area. Oversized vehicles, motor homes, or tractors (without trailer) are $45; buses or tractors with an extended trailer are $50 (Toy Story Parking Area only).

Allowed. Guests may bring in their own water and other non-alcoholic beverages, as long as they aren't in glass containers.

Allowed. Medications and medical supplies (including items needing refrigeration or sharps disposal) are accommodated.

Not Allowed. Guests may not bring their own alcohol; alcohol is only permitted if purchased on-site (or at Disneyland Resort hotels). Unlike Disneyland Park, DCA guests can walk around the park with alcohol purchased on-site — this operational detail could only be corroborated via secondary/fan sources, not an official Disney page, so it's noted here rather than built into the structured fields. Exceptions: Wine allowed at select Downtown Disney table-service restaurants with a corkage fee.

Not Allowed. Marijuana, including marijuana-enriched products, is banned throughout the resort regardless of California state law.

Conditional. Small coolers are allowed if they fit the 24"x15"x18" bag size limit; loose or dry ice is not permitted. Max size: 24"x15"x18".
