Disney’s no-bag policy has reared its head, but fans can relax because they’re likely prepared for this one. We promise.

The Walt Disney Company is known for being a trendsetter and innovator in the field of entertainment, and the company has worked its way up to earn this place on the totem pole. As it stands today, the Walt Disney Company is one of the most prolific entertainment companies around, and fans clamor for the chance to get insider information and exclusives.

One of the best ways to do this is to attend D23 Expo, the ultimate fan event for any Disney fan who wants their chance to know more about any upcoming theme park attractions, movies and more from the Mouse House. D23 Expo is an event that happens every alternate year and is back this fall in Anaheim.

Some fans might know, the D23 Expo is where fans usually see the Disney Legend ceremony take place.

The D23 2022 Expo saw a lot of exciting announcement about the movie and cinema side of the business, though many felt that the Disney Parks panel hosted by chairman Josh D’Amaro did not pass muster and was a whole lot of nothing couched in flowery “blue sky” language.

While many are hopeful that this year will bring more significant news surrounding the Disney Parks considering Disney has been making strides in fixing its internal issues with Disney CEO Bob Iger back at the realm, there are some rules that are making themselves known about what guests can and cannot do or bring to D23 Expo this year.

Disney has notified guests of its no-bag policy that will be instituted for D23 Expo this year.

Here’s why, and when its relevant.

This year, D23 Expo is taking place at two locations: the Anaheim Convention Center (per usual) as well as the Honda Center in Anaheim, Southern California. While much of the event will still be conducted at Anaheim Convention Center, the three panels for the night will happen at the Honda Center each night.

It is the Honda Center that has a strict “no bag” policy.
