Star Wars Costume - Blaster Question

[TinkAgainU]

Helping a pre-teen with his costume, going both a StarWars Nite and May 4th. He wants to dress like Han Solo. Can he bring a plastic Blaster (not a light sabre - I know those are allowed) on his hip if it is obviously plastic? It would probably be made from pvc pipe and painted black/brown. Just to go in the holster.

In general "weapons" are not allowed.

I don't think that would be allowed. But even the Han Solo holster would look really cool. That will be such a great costume, I saw tons of Jedi when we went but I don't remember any Hans.

No, that won’t be allowed. I’ve seen a few people use holsters to hold bananas, which is kinda humorous.

From the Disneyland FAQs on the Disney site:

• Costumes may not contain any weapons that resemble or could easily be mistaken for an actual weapon.

Yea, not allowed. You’ll see a lot of empty holsters on SW Nite.

Even clearly prop blasters, badly made and orange/neon painted weren’t let in.

So if you buy a blaster from Disneyland...you caring it back in?

I do not believe they sell anything resembling a "blaster" anymore. I may be wrong about that, but I think that is the case. Even the old Buzz Lightyear style bubble guns are now bubble wands.

Interesting, I'll look this weekend

Maybe its only in DTD...but I swear I've seen blasters sold on property since covid

A Han Solo Holster is obviously the best Churro storage device! Easy to whip out and snack on a churro (or banana)!

From the list of Disneyland prohibited items:

“Weapons of any kind or object that appear to be weapons (toy guns, toy blasters, squirt guns, etc.)”

They were slowing phasing out any weapons, other than lightsabers for years now. I wanted to get my partner a Buzz Astroblaster to match mine so we could annoy each other, but those and the bubble guns were gone pre Covid.
