If you're planning a family trip to Walt Disney World [1], knowing what you can't bring into the park is just as important as being prepared with a well-organized packing list [2]. While certain items like weapons and smoking devices are more obvious, you might be surprised to know that seemingly harmless things like selfie sticks, and the latest addition, oversize strollers, are not permitted in Disney parks [3]. Check out this list to ensure everything you're bringing is allowed and see this helpful list of strollers that meet Disney's new size requirements [4]. — Additional reporting by Hilary White
