Good day,
I know that the Disney World park rules are that a tripod is OK to bring in, but it has to fit inside a standard backpack. The question I have that I cannot find an answer to is this:
Do I HAVE to carry the tripod into the park inside the backpack, or can I hand carry the tripod into the park? I would hate to have to carry around a backpack just for the purpose of proving that it can fit inside one. The tripod that I am bringing is a SIRUI T-1205X 5-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod. Any insight?
I would email wdw direct and then keep a copy of their reply incase challenged by security. Im sure you can carry it but they charge rules all the time
I would also definitely call, but here’s the thinking… Selfie sticks are prohibited because of their length and therefore can hurt more people in a diameter of the person using it than a short tripod could if the person is careless. The principle is size. I really don’t think they will prohibit you from hand carrying in a 12 inch non extendable tripod, but you most definitely have an extendable tripod confiscated.
Nothing to add regarding the rules that hasn’t already been said @dalyfamily3 but I wanted to point out that most rides will be a bit more of a hassle having a tripod around. Big thunder mountain and Space mountain come instantly to mind. The bags provided for storing items are simply square meshes barely bigger than a large ziploc. I may be blaspheming in the photographer’s world but… would you reconsider taking it along?
