- You can’t carry anything that resembles an actual weapon—plastic lightsabers are an exception.
- Nothing pointy or sharp on your costumes.
- No full-length costumes that can drag on the ground—capes must not go below the waist.
- Guests cannot pose for pictures or sign autographs for other guests (but feel free to take photos with your friends and family).
Costume masks are not permitted for any guests over the age of 14. Guests 13 and younger may wear costume masks as long as they don’t cover the entire face and leave the eyes visible.
It’s also noted that these rules only apply to Disneyland After Hours. During regular park hours, regular rules apply.
