With rides such as the Indiana Jones Adventure, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, or the iconic Space Mountain, Disneyland competes with the world’s biggest attractions when it comes to adrenaline and thrills

Disneyland has a surprisingly extensive list of dos and don’ts when it comes to getting dressed up for a day in the Magical Kingdom.

The iconic theme park is firmly stuck at the top of many people’s bucket lists, and for good reason. With rides such as the Indiana Jones Adventure, the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, or the iconic Space Mountain, Disneyland competes with the world’s biggest attractions when it comes to adrenaline and thrills.

And, of course, it is the undisputed champion when it comes to sprinklings of magic. “The Happiest Place on Earth” delivers sparkle and joy with fireworks displays, parades and castles galore.

However, Disneyland has a strict set of rules to ensure that the park remains fun, friendly and safe for everyone. A big part of that is its dress code.

For those who have saved and scrimped for a trip to Disney, the last thing they’d want is to be chucked out or refused entry. According to the Disneyland website, that could happen if you wear “attire that is not appropriate for theme parks”.

That includes but is not limited to:

• Costumes may not be worn by guests 14 years of age or older
• Masks may not be worn by guests 14 years of age or older (unless they are for medical purposes)
• Clothing with objectionable material, including obscene language or graphics
• Excessively torn clothing or loose-fitting clothing, which may drag on the ground and create a potential trip hazard
• Clothing that, by nature, exposes excessive portions of the skin that may be viewed as inappropriate for a family environment
• Clothing with multiple layers is subject to search upon entry
• Visible tattoos that could be considered inappropriate, such as those containing objectionable language or designs
• Bare feet

Disneyland also has specific costume guidelines for special events such as Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party. Before brewing up ideas for your next disguise, it’s advised that you read the park’s rules carefully. They are:

• All guests may dress as their favorite character, but may not pose for pictures or sign autographs for other guests.
• Costumes must be family-friendly and may not be obstructive, offensive, objectionable or violent.
• Costumes may not contain any weapons that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.
• Costumes may not contain sharp objects, pointed objects or materials that may accidentally strike another Guest.
• Layered costumes or costume props that surround the entire body are strongly discouraged and may be subject to additional security screening.
• Costumes may not reach or drag on the ground (e.g., full-length Princess dresses)

There are also specific rules for guests of different ages.

For guests aged 13 and under

Costumes and some masks may be worn, as long as the mask does not cover the entire face and eyes are visible.

For guests aged 14 and older

• Capes may be worn if the length does not go below the waist.
• Themed T-shirts, blouses, sweatshirts and hats are acceptable.
• Acceptable accessories include: transparent wings, plastic Lightsabers, toy swords and tutus.
• Headwear may be worn as long as it does not cover the face.
• Masks of any kind may not be worn, except for medical purposes.

A statement on the Disneyland website suggests that those who breach the rules will, most likely, be given a chance to change their outfit.

“Guests who do not adhere to these guidelines may be refused entry into, and/or removed from, the event, unless his or her costume can be modified to meet the above standards. While we encourage creativity, we also value safety and good judgment. The above costume guidelines apply throughout the duration of Oogie Boogie Bash – A Disney Halloween Party and/or other costumed events. Please note: all rules, regulations and guidelines are subject to change without notice,” it reads.

RYANAIR is axing one of its much-hated fees that often catches passengers out at the airport.

From November 12, the £55 to print your boarding pass at the airport will be scrapped.

Currently, families who arrive at the airport without a boarding pass need to head to a check in desk and pay the fee.

This means a family of four could be left £220 out of pocket.

Last year, an elderly couple had to pay £110 after they printed out the wrong boarding pass, sparking fury in other travellers.

However, the budget airline is ditching this fee ahead of the new boarding pass changes this month.

From next week, printed boarding passes will be scrapped with passengers instead needing to have Digital Boarding passes.

Passengers will have to download the Ryanair app to get the mobile boarding passes instead.

This will be required for all countries, excluding Morocco where a printed boarding pass will need to be given at the check in desk.

Initially hoped to be rolled out back in May, it was delayed to November 3, before being confirmed for November 12.

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary previously said: “Our goal is to eliminate check-in desks at the airport, just like we’ve done with luggage counters.

“It also means, once we get everybody onto the app, nobody will ever again pay for a boarding pass at an airport – the airport check in fee will be gone. 

“So, I think it will be a smoother, easier journey for everybody.” 

The airline has reassured passengers that if they lose their phone or the battery dies, Ryanair staff can still print out a pass at the airport gate.

Of course, Ryanair still has a number of other strict fees that catch passengers out.

Changing the name of the passenger can cost up to £160, while a missed flight fee is £100.

The airline recently increased the size of their free personal bag that passengers can take onboard, by 5cm.

But you could have to pay up to £45 if it breaks the size rules and you have to check it in.

This is if it is 10kg – anything over this can be a £60 fee.
